Got workers? Thank immigrants
To the Editor:
Why are people so afraid of immigrants, treating them as the other while regularly slandering and marginalizing them? The truth is immigrants contribute greatly to our work force and our economy, paying into Social Security and Medicare with no hope of benefitting from the programs.
Robinson’s question proves his ignorance
To the Editor:
I am writing about the opinion Mark Claxton of Bryson City gave regarding the Republican candidate for governor, current Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, and opinions he was quoted to have said.
Robinson’s comment taken out of context
To the Editor:
I wish to respond to the recent letter from Margaret Pickett of Highlands which she opened with the following statement:
“In North Carolina we have a candidate for governor who is alleged/reputed to have said, ‘I absolutely want to go back to the America where women couldn’t vote … We want to bring back the America where Republicans and principles and true ideas of freedom rule.’
