depoitthatfselves because there
will be nothing for them here..."
"* ' So if you're wondering what
the point is...the point is in what
Wilson said, "...those who can't
find a job..."
So, there it is.
According to me California
governor, he will tolerate "these
people" getting jobs as they get
them cecause Wilson knows he'll
have some pissed off farmers if
dares to deport all illegal imnri-
grants.
Yet, Wilson takes this stand
and airs it on public television
without bothering to finish the
statement.
But I do have a recommenda¬
tion for Wilson as it is dear he's
having a hard time finding a way
to finish what he starts.
Try this, Wilson;
"..,and those who do find jobs
— irftne bountiful fields of Cali¬
fornia (the fruit basket of the
world) — know that these
hardworking people will be here¬
after treated like all other hard
working immigrants who find
work in the United States.
For example, they will be
granted citizenship; they will be
given fair and decent contracts,
working conditions, pay and
health benefits; thek children will
have access to all of the educa¬
tional opportunities offered in
America; and finally, they will
not be labeled as "il
*.
should know and become aware
of the integral part that these im¬
migrants play in the California's
economy as we gain from these
hard working people that do dirty
jobs no one else would want to
do.
Let's workqn a plan today to
better relations for the future be¬
tween Mexico and the i United
States.
With a better relationship, we
cafi start towards working on
positive relationships versus
negative racist ones..." -
This is an example of how
_ Letters, from Page 2
V Paulo Albuguerque "has
Vcn*sed the line of editorial opiri-
wn (redundant) into the realm of
ignorance", but he (Whitaker) is
not educated enough to spell the .
name of one of the largest cities of
his own country. It is
ALBUQUERQUE,not
ALBURQUtiQUE,Mr. Whitaker.
MarcusTovar,however,isthe
most dangerous. Despite his ob¬
tuse patriotic views and complete
lack of historical knowledge, he
has displayefl some form of in¬
telligence and moreover appears
to be full of good intentions.
It is because of "innocent"
people like Tovar, that the United
States of America will continue
toexploittheThird World.Tovar
will never have enough guts to
go out there and'search for the
truth. He has found his conve¬
nient answers and; will com¬
pletely dose his eyes whenever
struckbythehardstickofrealitv.
It is very sad to know that
although the third millennium
Wilsoncouldfinishwhathestarts.
Wilson thinks that Califor-
nians are stupid enough to be¬
lieve that crops will be ready for
sale without immigrants work¬
ing here-*-doing those hard jobs
no one else wants to do.
Well he's got some rethink¬
ing to do!!
Let's stick to me issues, people.
Immigrants from everywhere
aren't going anywhere when the v
desperately needed here so lef s
figure out a human way to deal
If we don't, I'll be the first to
agree that every immigrant goes
and then let's see how Wilson
gets himself out that fine bloody
feud with farmers.
Heck, let's see what he's going
to tell the Agriculture Depart¬
ment professors here at Califor-
nia State University, Fresno when
they can't find anyone to pick
crops on Barstow and Cedar and
everywhere else we have drops
on this campus.
Don't be ignorant. Look
around people.
CSU, Fresno doesn't have Ag¬
riculture majors picking the fruit
out in the Bulldog backyard and
see how the passage of proposi¬
tion 187 will affed therri today
and in future as farmers.
As a dosing remark, I would
like to include that when a local,
state or national government has
the audacity to put forth such
ideals that come from the smart
public such as, if you're going to
blatantly be racist and call Mexi¬
cans only "illegals" ahd treat the m
inhumane by expressing publidy
how much you want to kick them
out of the state of California, then
you better be prepared to shut off
all entries of any other group of
people coming in.
Mexican immigrants aren't the
only immigrants that come into
Calif omia or the rest of the nation
Or maybe I'm mistaken mat no¬
body knows about the infamous
claim: "Political Asylum"
Belirtda Morales
of our Christian dvilization ap¬
proaches, people will refuse to
hear the Gospel and surround
themselves with a web of greedy
nationalism.
I wish I could invite Mr. Tovar
to coihe to my country and see
with his own eyes that the easy
reality that he has experienced
v^thin his illusion of life, is as
fake as his mother's fingernails. I
know, however, that Tovar's in¬
ability to see through the walls of
imperialism would never allow
him to understand the struggles ^
of Latin America.
Goahead, Tovar! Hide behind
the stars and stripes. Keep on
living in your own world of pros¬
perity till of turkey, gravy, and
apple pie. Repeat the words of
the headless French queen: 'They
do not have bread? Give them
caker
Good job, 77k Collegian!
Good job,Paulo Albuquerque!

engineering, is concerned about
how the money would be
handled. "It may be an insult (to
the slaves) if they do not do the
right thing with the money."
Freshman Ying Vang, aliusi-
ness/theater arts major'said, "I
don't agree. Their families were
slaves, not them."
Currentiy, the reparations
movement is compensating those
Native-American tribes with fed¬
eral grants.
Another possibility is that each
slave descendant will be awarded
about$98,19125.1hisisthemod-
em-day equivalent of Abraham
Lincoln's proposal of awarding
each slave with 40 acres and a
mule when slavery ended.
This is being set up because a
large number of the African-
Americans who currendy live in
this country are descendants of
slaves. The number of African-
Americans that the proposition
is talking about is somewhere
around 30 million people, which
may cost about $3 trillion dollars.
