One hundred days into Donald Trump's presidency, The Associated Press asked people from across the country to write a letter to the president. He wrote: "I grew up in southern Sudan, which was engaged in a long civil war with the north. In 1986 my uncle ... took my father, a teacher, and other civilians in a helicopter to areas that needed aid. I watched from our backyard as that helicopter was shot down. ... In 2005, I was accepted to come to the U.S., a place where I can be safe and call home. ... In my job I help teach refugees, and every day they express to me their worries that this country may reject refugees in the months to come. I have heard you express concern about the Syrian people and I hope this is a turning point. Please, Mr. President, let America continue to treat refugees the same way God wanted them to be treated. That is what made America what it is _ strong and different from any other country on the face of the planet. The Bible says: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. ..." (Leviticus 19:33-34) Dear Mr. President, May God guide you, give you wisdom, and spirit of understanding in these very challenging moments." (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall)
