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.

These people are our friends. Helping them will make us all better humans.

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.
