LETTER: Interesting that xenophobic letter did not call out Catholics, Mormons

I want to congratulate Jeff Schnelz for his letter to the editor concerning immigrants, especially Muslims and their propensity to have many children (“Vashon doesn’t need large numbers of immigrants,” March 1).

It takes a lot of courage to write such a blatantly

racist and xenophobic letter when living in a very liberal community. However, since he feels that those faiths that discourage birth control and encourage having many children should not live here, I’m afraid that means we must ship off our Catholic friends, and certainly the local Mormon families and all of the evangelicals. The fact that these folks are white shouldn’t stand in the way, as I’m sure Mr. Schnelz would agree.
