We pretend not to hear the dragging chains because we don't know how to silence them, but the ghosts will endure, especially in California. Because the nation can't control its borders, the number of illegal immigrants grows by an estimated half-million each year. They come because we invite them with lax law enforcement and menial jobs. Their presence makes our own poor more destitute, creating a Third World chaos in the California economy that we are only beginning to understand." (LOS ANGELES TIMES MAGAZINE) The author argues that "illegal immigrants are pulling wages down for the poor and pushing taxes higher."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
