Dear
Congressman,
Re: County Supervisors
I note that you applaud our Orange County
Supervisors—all Republicans—for their action in voting to join a lawsuit from
the Trump administration against California’s so-called sanctuary state law. I
write to express my disagreement with your position. I believe that Governor
Brown and his administration have taken not only the proper humanitarian action
in this matter, but also the most practical and practicable. The Trump
administration’s ruthless war on immigrant’s has more to do with the
appeasement of the base to which he pandered during his campaign than with the
realities of immigration in America. Among other things, you claim that
California’s action has contributed significantly to crime. Do you have
evidence to back up this inflammatory claim?
At the same meeting, I read, the Supervisors voted unanimously
to scrap a previously approved plan to provide temporary shelters for the
homeless in the affluent communities of Huntington Beach (your hometown, I
believe), Irvine and Laguna Niguel. Do you condone this heartless act of
self-protection on the part of the very wealthy, Congressman? Is there not some
compassion and pity in the conscience of Republicans? Or have they forgotten
that they have one?
Respectfully,
Peter Clothier, Ph.D.
