08/11/07 - Saturday Forum: A New
Jersey Reader Takes On Latino Thugs At A Pro-America
Rally; etc.
A Wisconsin Reader Challenges A Dense Radio Talk Show Host
From: Pat
Clifford (e-mail
him)
The
politically correct
Wisconsin Public Radio had a guest from the
Association of Communities for Reform Now, ACORN,
discussing the fight against poverty.
ACORN
is
another of those irritating organizations that pushes
for “comprehensive immigration reform.” Read its
position
here.
I
called in and said that the most obvious way to raise
wages is to deport the
20 million illegal aliens and seal the borders. I
should know about stagnant wages; I’m a janitor.
WPR’s host,
Ben Merens, was completely baffled by my suggestion.
He asked: “Why?” [e-mail
Merens
here.]
I
told him that mass immigration is the chief factor in
driving down American wages and has also resulted in
lost job opportunities for native-born Americans.
The
ACORN nut said, “Well, I
don't think we should be deciding who should and
should not get into this country.”

ACORN

Merens still claims to be dumbfounded as to what all the
fuss about illegal immigration is. Some of us in
Wisconsin have yet to see the light.
Joe Guzzardi writes:
Clifford, a non-union janitor, was formerly a night
auditor at a motel. But, as he told me,
“[Asian]
Indians
bought the place, fired all the natives and
hired their relatives.”
His previous letter is
