Letter to the editor: Don’t freely give benefits of citizenship to whoever asks
Deering High School student Allan Monga’s being allowed to participate in a national poetry recital contest previously reserved for American citizens was presented as something to be celebrated, and I guess from the perspective of Mr. Monga (an asylum-seeker from Zambia), it was a sort of victory.
