Conditions in L.A. Schools
Regarding your editorial “Public Schools at the End of the Rope” (Aug. 15):
The Times says that immigration and a record birth rate are having a negative impact on the public school system. In fact, these are not separate issues since immigrants (both legal and illegal) have the largest birth rate of any group in California. At this country’s busiest obstetrics hospital, located at the USC-Los Angeles County Medical Center, 85%-90% of the births are to mothers who are illegal aliens.
Now that our neck’s in the noose and our school system is about to collapse, we liberals need to face the distressing fact that it really is time to close the border.
