Will Utah help fund refugee services?

Utah has been blessed greatly financially. It makes sense to spread some of
those blessings around to refugees who have suffered more than most of us can
imagine. We should welcome as many as we can possibly absorb with open arms,
financial aid, and an increase in volunteers to help them learn our language and
adjust to life in Utah. If you want to do more than simply encourage the state
to share some of their resouces, you can make a difference by learning to teach
English as a second language through the ESL center in SLC, or you can volunteer
at or donate to the International Rescue Committee office in Salt Lake.

Please read some more of todays paper> We have an article about Utah children
that are austic and need help. We have a large waiting list to help our OWN
children first. Lets leave this funding to the FEDS were it belongs and help out
our own little ones. THere is only so much money advailable, and it makes sense
to let the Fed. gov do its job. After all, they like to claim the control
imigration.
