IMMIGRATION RADIO

The radio talk shows are full of immigration chatter, but I tuned in this morning–accidentally, I admit–to “The Voice of the People,” KNON, 89.3, where it was going hot and heavy on Worker’s Beat, hosted by Gene Lantz. The same 8-9 a.m. segment features John Wiley Price on Thursday and Tavis Smiley on Friday. Callers were vigorously both pro and con re the pending, and punitive Congressional bill that has drawn out student protests here the last couple of days. Best line of the morning: “Don’t forget Texas was founded by illegal immigrants.” I know. I had a relative at the Battle of San Jacinto. Don’t send me back to Ireland.
