Raise Wages, Not Walls...
Former Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis is co-author of this thought-provoking opinion piece in today's New York Times. In this piece, titled Raise Wages, Not Walls, the authors make the argument that the best way to address the issue of illegal immigration is by raising the minimum wage.
You do not need to have TimesSelect to read this article by Dukakis and his co-author, Daniel Mitchell.
THE KATRINA MEMO was first launched in the wake of Hurricane Katrina when issues of class, race and poverty re-emerged as major national issues.The original goal was to keep a focus on post-Katrina reconstruction and the issues that surfaced out of what was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States. While we continue to focus on what's happening in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast we'll also explore broader social and political issues that are of concern to all Americans.
