Hello, Mike,
I agree with you. I don't support bigotry and prejudice based on ignorance. I don't want ISIS terrorists in our country but I am not sure immagration laws are going to keep us safe. I definititely don't want a freaking wall.
good editorial,
gypsy

Hi Mikey,
you are very brave to have taken on this subject. I know that it is an opinion from both sides of the argument but some people are to serious to see it as a tongue in check exercise. I thought both your sides were very informative and stood there corner quite well and you managed to make it quite amusing, as well.
Well done.

Very well-written letters on the issue of immigration which always have their pros and cons. There is quite a difference between real refugees and an army of men who infiltrates a country with the aim to kill and destroy. We here in South Africa emigrates to New Zealand and Australia in flocks to escape the bad situations here, but many like myself have nothing to offer in terms of working to earn an income, I am already a welfare case with a disability, so I am stuck here and have to make the best of whatever the situation evolved into.
NS: I decided not to partake in the prose potlatch for a while.

I'm sort of stuck in the desert the same way. I have a house full of disabled folk. It's a hot issue here with Trump talking about building a wall etc. Neither letter is really my exact view. I tried to stay in character with both of them. The more liberal view is more me though. :))
Sorry to hear you won't be around for the prose potlatch for a while. Love your contributions. Can I bribe you with a new car? I hope it isn't anything someone said. Thanks for the great review. mikey

The first letter is real stand up on your soapbox in the park style and with the sarcasm and humour thrown in it makes for a good read. As does the other half of the debate where you appeal more to the emotions. You have debated yourself extremely well with this.
Well done, cheers,
valda.

Damn Mikey, that was truly an excellent argument with fabulous rebuttal to the editor. Unfortunately, I did not know it was to an editor and wrote it to an ex-lover and his response! Oh well.,,This was great and I thoroughly loved the read. You are very talented and an inspiration to us all. Great contribution to the Potlatch Challenge. Loved it. God bless and hugs, Susanne

The heavy overlay of sarcasm is what makes this one so amusing. Such righteous indignation! I have always rather enjoyed the well-written 'Letter to the Editor'. There is such scope for humour in it, both intentional and accidental!

Good job Mikey. You presented both sides fairly,
Each side offers valid points.
Immigration will always be a tough subject to
discuss. The America that let our Ancestors in
was not facing the dangers from other nations
that exist today, which is why it may be necessary to
have stricter laws and regulations on immigration.
Anyway good job on your Potlatch challenge.
