Innocents perish

Re “Long Beach blaze claims third child,” Dec. 16

Seeing the faces of the girls who perished in the Long Beach fire, I saw the faces of innocents. American girls born in this country are entitled to the same safe housing rights all those living in our nation should receive with no question. When will the wrath of exploitation come down on those who exploit rather than those exploited?
