In response to Bunnie Meyer’s vile and inflammatory anti-immigrant letter (“Breaking the border,” Jan. 24, page 4).
So Latinos are taking jobs from Americans! Do they come on horses with rifles and say, “Give me your jobs”? Do they sneak into town at night, mug you, and say “I want your job”? No, the newly arrived immigrants do backbreaking work in the fields, kitchens and factories that Americans won’t touch.
The next time intolerant white folk, Republicans and anti-immigrant forces say Mexicans are taking our jobs, tell them their prejudice is showing.
