FILE - In this Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017 file photo, Sudanese refugee Suliman Bandas, who teaches English as second language, speaks in his classroom in Lincoln, Neb. 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)
