Letter: Lima should not welcome ‘newcomers’

I was shocked, dismayed and infuriated to open the paper today to find the lead article “welcoming newcomers.” Jacob Espinosa is delusional for submitting this garbage and you for printing it.

This is America for United States Americans. We work hard for our government to provide and keep us safe and protected from terrorists like Haitian gangs, Latino cartels and the violence they bring with them, thanks to Derry Glenn, Sharetta Smith, her administration and her council.

Mexico, Central America and Haiti receive and waste the millions of dollars we send them, yes we, who have worked and paid taxes to be subjected to the violence and filth that these “newcomers” bring to our community. My family worked hard our entire lives to purchase what we needed and to enjoy life, only to have the City of Lima give away to aliens all that we worked for ourselves… housing, food, medical care, transportation, education our taxes paid for… all given away to them for free.

Wait, not free-taxpayors are paying for all of it. Who knows how much the federal government is providing Lima and Smith. The coffers of our schools will suffer to provide security to our students as well as money to be spent for those who don’t and likely will refuse to learn English. There are thousands here, many more that no one will even confirm a count.

We will resist any sort of welcome to them. Take them on a slow boat back to Haiti, on a Greyhound bus to Mexico and beyond. I don’t care; they don’t have any right to be here.

Smith, who couldn’t pay her own bills in the past, has presented her woke agenda to favor her liberal base. May the community, Lima and Allen County turn their back on her, Glenn and those “newcomers” (aliens) who belong in their own country.

Let’s consider in six months where they’ll be, as possibly the mayor, packing up to leave.
