Wake up hypocrites

Editor:

I for one am sick and tired of reading letters from hypocrites who want to shut down the day labor hiring site in Laguna Canyon. Face it - the Montage and literally hundreds of Laguna businesses and services would close down if the Latinos left.

Who would cut the lawns, cook for you when you are eating out and in many cases manage the business you take for granted and in most cases work for slave wages - not a living wage.

Across the U.S.A., cities that harass Latinos have seen their economies fail.

Wake up hypocrites - this is Laguna Beach and we like people who care about our town. After amnesty in the l980's the central government never established a sensible and fair immigration policy. It is wrong to call Latinos "illegal" when in fact there is no legal immigration process for these people who add a great deal to our economy and society.
