Letters to the Editor

LETTERS: Special bonds, Immigrant population

I read how organ bonds families. Chase Crompvoets became an organ donor at the young age of 18. His lungs were donated to Eric Sheets in Indianapolis. After a few years of grieving, Sheets decided to do his part and met up with his donor’s family. This is such a heartwarming act and should be done more frequently by other people.

Letters to the Editor | Week of Jan. 1, 2024

Letters to the editor published in The Monitor, Valley Morning Star and The Brownsville Herald during the week of Jan. 1, 2024.

LETTERS: War assistance draws support

I wish to rebut the commentary by Zoe Lee Alvarez printed Dec. 20 21.

LETTERS: Republicans draw attack, Standard recourse

Are those MAGA Republicans in Florida having orgies? Yes. Especially if you are getting “don’t say gay bills” passed or banning books from libraries statewide.

LETTERS: Conflicted Congress, Partisan hysterics

The article about issues over the IRS and border security stalling military aid to Israel and Ukraine has made me aware that accountability is needed. Congress is having trouble passing a foreign aid package for Israel and Ukraine while trying to agree on immigration reform. Members of the White House and Senate are feuding, and these actions need to be showcased, because it is unethical for them to be acting this way.

LETTERS: Facility welcome, No one coming for your guns

After reading the article “STHS opens chemical dependency unit in Edinburg” by Erika De Los Reyes, I am optimistic that this is a substance abuse facility the Rio Grande valley has been needing. This facility can be utilized by several individuals who need help.

LETTERS: Immigrant parole program backed, Happiness from work

After reading that Texas is trying to end the federal parole program, I hope Judge Drew Tipton doesn’t rule in favor of Texas. The federal parole program allows immigrants to reside legally in the United States for two years with the right to apply for government aid.

LETTERS: Affirmative Action garners opposition, Keeping up with conflict

For some time, I have been meaning to express my views on our government’s attempt at dealing with racism! Little did I know as a young adult in the ’60s that the term “affirmative action” was such a misnomer!

LETTERS: Ageism decried, Isolation is costly

Before reading “Dolly Parton’s cheerleader outfit can teach us all a lesson on ageism” by Katie Camero,” I disregarded how poorly elders can be treated due to their age. The article was written regarding Parton’s Cowboys cheer uniform during her performance in the Dallas Cowboys-Washington Commanders halftime.

LETTERS: Event sponsors garner gratitude, Don’t drive impaired

Here we are attending the 27th annual Kids at the Movies. Shout out to the wonderful sponsors who collaborate every year to make this annual event a success.
