(Name-mce) ListServ City Vents Anger at Illegal Immigrants

[Saprieto@aol.com]

I agree with Anne Dobson. I am very glad she has opened up the discussion 
about the issue of immigration and legality/illegality. It is an issue of 
illegality, but it is also an issue of the national origin of the immigrants. How 
much uproar would there be if they were all from Europe, especially central and 
northern Europe? Or from Africa, north or south. Or Asia. Would there be the 
same concerns voiced in a similar manner? As for taking jobs Americans won't do, 
I have heard it convincingly argued that, if companies had to pay decent 
wages, they would have no trouble finding Americans to work for them. That, in 
fact, it is American companies who are putting so much pressure on Congress to 
allow illegal immigrants so that they can keep wages down. There are so many 
issues involved in the question of immigration that I am very glad to see Anne's 
opinion so well expressed. I hope others will continue the discussion.
