To the editor: It’s official: The State Department is suspending immigration visas for people from poorer countries because they might need food stamps or something (“U.S. suspending immigrant visa processing from 75 countries over public assistance,” Jan. 14).
I guess we can expect “Don the builder” to begin chiseling off Emma Lazarus’ inscription on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.”

To the editor: As I read the list of countries from which the U.S. will no longer accept visas, and as I recall the writings of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller since his high school days in Santa Monica, I conclude the U.S. policy is to allow only white immigrants into the country. I’m wondering if this is the way U.S. citizens want it to go.
