The Sun
Locally owned and independent for more than 50 years.
The headline writer left out "illegal" in the title. Surely just an oversight (ahem).
"Nearly 10,000 construction workers filed unemployment claims statewide in February. Illegal immigrants don’t qualify for those benefits, or for welfare or food stamps."
But their Anchor Babies do.
"Godinez and many other workers interviewed for this story say the shrinking residential construction industry is only partly to blame for their plight. They mention state and federal laws making it harder for employers to hire illegal immigrants."
The victim mentality and sense of entitlement here is unbelievable. How dare we attempt to enforce our laws?
Martinez has been here 12 years and Eric wants to learn English and teach it to dad? Why doesn't dad know English by now and why isn't Eric already bilingual?
I suspect it is because dad worked only with other Hispanics, mostly illegal, and there was no reason to learn English - or to assimilate.
Best line in the whole article: "Erika Chavira, manager at the bus station, says about half her passengers have been buying one-way tickets to Mexico in recent months."
But didn't previous article here state that "there were too many to deport", ignoring the obvious in that many would self-deport when they could no longer use this country as an ATM machine?
