http://www.leelanau.com/blog/migrant-workers-in-northern-michigan/ News, Weather, Events & Photos from Leelanau County & Northern Michigan Sun, 12 Oct 2008 05:09:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 http://www.leelanau.com/blog/migrant-workers-in-northern-michigan/#comment-42 jsorbie Sun, 18 Jun 2006 20:01:52 +0000 http://www.leelanau.com/blog/migrant-workers-in-northern-michigan/#comment-42 Interesting article. I am amazed however, at the logic flow that equates illegal imigrant to migrant worker and then to all Hispanics. That logic flow implies (and as Mr. Coe states) that to object to thousands of people ignoring the laws and sovereignty of this country is to be afflicted by "paranoia of extremists and prejudice policies" and subsequently be guilty of racism. Are other countries guilty of racism when they ask me to enter their country through designated border crossings? I've yet to hear Canada criticized for asking me to enter their country in such a manner, or prohibiting me from working in their country (I have experienced that directly). Legal workers are welcome (no matter what their race, creed or culture!) Interesting article.
