Md.: [Immigration] Demand and supply
From the Baltimore Sun
Demand and supply
American businesses offer jobs, and illegal immigrants come
By Hanah Cho

As Congress struggles with the politics of dealing with a flood of illegal immigrant workers, relatively little attention is being
paid to the issue at the heart of the problem: the fact that they are lured here by American businesses offering millions of jobs.
It is against the law to hire an unauthorized immigrant worker, but neither the employers nor the federal government has been
paying much attention to that fact.
This article has some of the best and straightest talk on immigration and jobs that I have seen in this whole debate.
I encourage readers of the blog to have a look at Hanna Cho's story.

Comments:
Before the last California gubernatorial election the Democrats in the legislature approved a bill that would allow illegal immigrants to get drivers licenses, supposedly so the roads would be safer and so they could get to jobs that citizens and legal residents allegedly don't want. In all the argument pro and con nobody was concerned about any injustice to citizens who couldn't get to those jobs because they can't afford cars. After Schwarzenegger got elected the legislature repealed the bill.
Does our government have any responsibilities to citizens who don't drive cars?
