Comments about ‘Utahns urged to help homeless via tax returns’

The only reason I never give or donate to any charity organization is because those that need it don't get it. 80%-95% of funds collected go to overhead to employees and directors. If these organizations are so charity minded, then they would donate their time and talents so the charity gives all the money to those that need it. Not to mention the number of illegals looting and pilfering from the poor american souls who deserve the aid. The illegals can go home to mexico, the americans are at home and the ones who need help.

The best way to give charity and aid is in directly giving to the needy. I believe in helping americans, not criminal illegals and their anchors. I have no sympathy for illegals at all, they made the choice to be illegals, let them eat what they deserve, nothing.

yikes yet another not so thinly veiled racial rant, thanks for noting.

its funny the first commentator would go off about donating time when the accompanying photo is of Pamela Atkins how has been a tireless advocate for the poor and homeless and ironically donates not only a lot of money but all of her time. It makes me wonder if the letter writer is ready to step up and put their money and time where their mouth is. I am sure Pamela would be happy to have them along to help her pass out canned food and supplies from the trunk of her car when she goes out.

I was not aware that illegal aliens were considered a race? It was my understanding that they are criminals who have entered this country illegally from various parts of the world. Is there an assumption that illegals are only Hispanic, not so, they hail from many different countries of origin. Illegals may be those who overstay legal visitor or other kinds of visas or cross our borders without benefit of permission.

Those who think that the first poster was engaging in racial profiling should first look to their own prejudices.

please, you can twist it any way you want but if it smells like a racist and talks like a racist it is probably a racist.

Yeah. where do you get your information about them being mexicans. make sure you know all the facts before you stay stuff like that.
