Racial Unrest and Immigration
If George Bush can find troops, marshals, etc., to patrol the streets of Los Angeles, why can’t he stop illegal immigrants and deport those already here?
That would open up a million jobs for unemployed U.S. citizens in Southern California.
But those jobs wouldn’t lift people out of poverty unless Bush also allows--and enforces--a minimum wage that is a living wage. Yes, that would raise the price on lettuce and frocks and many other things--a price we should all be very willing to pay.
