Open Letter to the Editor of the Catholic Standard

In this week’s issue (January 10, 2008 page 7), you wrote a story entitled: “From many, one family.”

In it, you stated:

“but also in our own communities, where anti-immigrant sentiments can be seen on talk shows and in legislative proposals.”

The issue is not with immigrants as a whole, the issue is with illegal immigrants. Those who have come to these shores following the process -- no problem. We welcome them. Nevertheless, many of us have told you this, over and over. But you just don’t seem to get it.

Why do you continue to twist the story? Why do you not tell the truth?

I expect this sort of stuff from the Washington Post and the NY Times but not the Catholic Standard.

For shame, Mr. Zimmerman, for shame.
