Editorial on illegal immigration and Carter plan
The piece warns of a massive unarmed invasion at the California border and critiques President Carter's amnesty proposal. It cites estimates of 200,000 to 250,000 destitute migrants and argues that amnesty could attract more illegals, aiding smugglers who charge up to 250 dollars to cross and 300 to 400 dollars for bogus documents. It questions employer penalties and notes feasibility issues for small businesses, plus the risk of discrimination. The editorial also stresses birth-rate issues in Mexico and gaps in job creation as essential to solving the problem.
