La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

Dear Kathy Rodenberg:

Thanks for your comment on my letter (Sept. 2).

It gives me an opportunity to set the record straight for you and other critical readers of the La Conner Weekly News.

I believe from our past acquaintance that you are a Democrat and supported President Obama in both his victories.

I suspect you believe, as I do, that he is a truly decent man but, Kathy, President Obama built the cages at the southern border and used them.

You can check that fact on Snopes or just read this statement that I copied from Snopes.com: “The Obama administration, not the Trump administration, built the cages that hold many immigrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border.”
