1. COMMENT

Texan Of The Year

Dallas Morning News has chosen the illegal immigrant to be 2007
Texan of the Year, saying "He is at the heart of a great culture
war in Texas - and the nation, credited with bringing us
prosperity and blamed for abusing our resources. How should we
deal with this stranger among us? He breaks the law by his very
presence. He hustles to do hard work many Americans won't, at
least not at the low wages he accepts. The American consumer
economy depends on him. America as we have known it for
generations may not survive him."

3. Items

(a) I-9 Forms and IRCA Compliance

Greg Siskind writes "While immigration can be a highly divisive
issue, employers need to focus on complying with the law. Most
employers will never file a visa application for a worker. But
the mistake many business owners make is assuming that no foreign
employees means no need to worry about immigration laws."

4. LETTERS

(a) Dear Weekly Editor:
What will happen to the twelve million? They will not disappear
and the nonimmigrant are a necessity here.

Gladys C. Farris

(b) Dear Weekly Editor:
In response to Gladys C. Farris's letter (IW 1/7/08), the
illegals coming in are indeed coming for hunger as is happening
in France and England. Nonetheless, it is eroding the American
citizen and the U.S will lose world economic and military power
and the u.s. will itself become a third world country. I still
encourage people, the officials to allow them as overseas workers
making $350 a month, not to drive on our roads, not to freely
roam the country, but come in under a sponsor like all overseas
workers. All they need is $350 a month to send home to mexico to
their familes, not to enjoy the benefits of u.s. citizens.
Overseas workers work on three year contracts, for domestic and
lower jobs. They should not compete with Americans for jobs. So,
people starving for food, do not need to come into the u.s.
except under a three year contract, whereas the sponsor cares for
the medical, and all the needs of their workers. The contract
workers must be accompanied by their sponsors representatives
off the sponsors property. This solves the problem for the
hungry mexican and protects the American citizen. The current
situation is absurd.
