Letter: Refugees would do well in Utah

The White House wanted to “dump” the refugees on “sanctuary cities.” (Of course, this president forgets that he is the president of the United States, not just the president of Republicans, so he said he wanted to “dump” them on Democratic states.)

Of course, Utah would likely be considered a “Republican State” but, because Utah is truly a “family values state,” I’m pretty sure that, as a sanctuary-minded state, we would welcome these unfortunate people only seeking to make a better life for their families.
