The letter “Defend immigrants and their contributions” (Jan. 30) makes perfect sense, just not in this era of rampant illegal immigration, courtesy of four years of President Biden. In the middle part of the 20th century (referenced in the letter) immigration was controllable via Ellis Island or otherwise. At that time, Central America wasn’t flooding our […]

Gov. Mills can hardly be said to be evil | Letter
Gov. Janet Mills’ recent State of the State address emphasized her support for Planned Parenthood, her determination to defend citizens against an aggressive federal government, support of alternative energy and maintaining health care for Mainers. The response from one Republican legislator? “Evil is at work here in the State House. It’s alive and well, and […]

The US could save billions with immigration reform | Letter
American taxpayers are paying tens of billions of dollars per year for a militarized immigration system. The fact is that immigration is a civil legal issue, but we are using the most expensive approach by using enforcement and hugely expensive detention methods. By stopping the building of more detention camps and private for-profit contracts, we […]

I’m sick and tired of the havoc of ICE | Letter
As a mother and grandmother, I’m aghast that a masked man could shoot a woman in the face, point blank, and be praised for such a horrific deed. Donald Trump makes decisions based on his own morality, not the Constitution, the Supreme Court or Congress. Has he no moral compass? How can he equate morality […]

Biddeford City Council should approve sale of convent to UNE | Letter
It has come to my attention that the Biddeford City Council has placed a moratorium on allowing the University of New England (UNE) to purchase the convent of the Good Shepherd Sisters. The convent sits near the Saco River. Members of that order first came to Biddeford in 1882 to teach the children of French […]

Kids like me shouldn’t be feeling so scared | Letter
I’m in fifth grade and part of a nice community; I go to school, I have friends, and my parents take care of me. But lately, even with all of that, I feel scared. I’ve been hearing the news more than I used to. One night, I was sleeping over at a friend’s house when […]

There’s a difference between arrest and abduction | Letter
The actions of ICE, here in Portland and throughout the United States, has created an atmosphere of fear and paranoia. The Trump administration, the worst of the worst, is violating the spirit of the Constitution: “In order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility…” Under usual circumstances, when an arrest is […]

Questioning CMP’s transparency on Augusta project | Letter
In regard to Ethan Horton’s Jan. 27 article, “CMP delays Augusta Old Winthrop Road proposal for review,” I want to share the fact that Central Maine Power has continued to mislead both residents and the media about the project. One of the interesting — and also confusing — things was that while Horton’s first article […]
