Letter, D. Lautner responds to B. Banister

Dear Bruce Banister,

Thank you for responding to my opinion dated Dec. 28, 2025.

You just blasted me for being a “racist,” but no, I am an independent and realist. I, too, have lived overseas, but my time was courtesy of the military.

I’m all for immigration if they are legal and come to this country the right way and are not a burden to taxpaying citizens to get assimilated.

You never once mentioned hogs or Bangladesh in the “meat” of your opinion. You have no figures or finding to back up your explanations. You called me a “blind man.: Yes, I cannot turn a blind eye to the happenings in Minnesota. Ilhan Omar and Gov Walz have much to explain about the $1B to $9B fraud that has happened in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.”

The U.S. can’t support all the foreigners that want to come to our country to chase their dreams at the expense of citizen taxpayers. Socialism is great if you are working with other people’s money.

Denny Lautner, Jefferson
