."The 14th Amendment has been challenged by people who wanted to create second-class citizenship for freed slaves and for Chinese immigrants. It's old business." - Andrew Hoover, of the American Civil Liberties Union
Dear friends,
Considering the fact that Republicans, especially, will use the issue of immigration to flare up the racist feelings of so many of the citizens in this country, I felt it, perhaps, instructive for us to peruse a piece that was written a year and a half ago, by the now-retired, legendary journalist Elmer Smith, formerly of the Philadelphia Daily News. Enjoy!
