Gov. Gary Herbert just received a love note from leaders of Utah’s refugees elated with his invitation that President Donald Trump send more refugees here after the president reduced the number that the nation will accept.
“We want you to know that many of us have sisters, brothers, wives, mothers and others stuck in refugee camps and we appreciate your help in bringing our family members to Utah,” they said in a letter written last month but released Thursday at a meeting of the Utah Refugee Advisory Board.
They also thanked the governor for bringing positive attention to Utah refugees by saying the state wants more of them and appreciates their contributions.
