Controversy Over Immigrants

Thank you for your insightful immigration editorial, especially its emphasis on solving some of the root causes involved. Given the current U.S. preoccupation with our own “economic recovery,” it is easy to forget that we continue to commit highway robbery globally . . . the net flow of wealth from south to north is $200 billion annually. Attacking the current legal and illegal immigration rate, as some organizations are doing, without attacking our role in causing it is useless at best and unethical at worst.
