Letter body: 

There’s quite a bit of talk around town these days about Eugene becoming a sanctuary city for various illegal aliens. To gain a protected status here, all the aliens have to do is break the law and show up. Then they’re home free, with the blessings of our newly elected mayor, among many others.

This is a great insult to my wife, both my grandparents and all other naturalized citizens who came to the U.S. from faraway lands. These people did it the right way. They were legal. They applied. They studied American history, took tests, were interviewed, filled out paperwork and learned English. They were honorable. Eugene a sanctuary city? Shame on you, Eugene.
