Haitain refugees: the US was right

Regarding the Opinion page article "US Loses Its Bearings on Refugees," Dec. 17: Many United States citizens do not favor accepting millions of so-called refugees into the US.

In the case of the Haitians, the government has finally found its bearings by trying to protect this country from the flood of refugees.

The US is absurd in its old desire to be everything to everyone. It needs to take care of business here. E. Symmonds, Delores, Colo.
