Rodes letter: Refugees

Rumor has it that Gov. Otter, Sen. Crapo, Sen. Risch, Rep. Labrador and Rep. Simpson are getting a group of folks together from Idaho and they are going back east and tear down the Statue of Liberty and ship it back to France. That’s a good idea since the French still realize what the Statue of Liberty stands for.

With all the guns and ammo that the Republicans have, why are you so afraid of a couple of thousand down-trodden refugees?
