Immigration Laws Should Ultimately Aid Poor Workers
I’m writing in response to Benjamin Wood’s article (“Boycott for Workers’ Rights,” Daily Nexus, April 28). Mr. Wood’s attempt to frame the “anti-immigration” segment of the debate presents a narrow-minded and unqualified picture of those in opposition to Monday’s demonstration.
