...These two pieces are neither factual nor constructive to the current problems that have resulted from the Quad incident. False out-of-context attacks against Harvard Foundation Director S. Allen Counter and the Foundation only serve to distract from the issue at hand. Further, the articles border on blatant disrespect for both the students affected by the incident and Counter, a man whose dedication to many student groups and individual students acknowledge has contributed to their respect, legitimacy and existence on campus. These two articles are lacking in their journalistic integrity; but worse, they are also lacking in their humanistic...
...least until recently. Almost miraculously, a bipartisan compromise bill that has survived early challenges has emerged from the Senate. Though tremendously complex, at its heart the bill has several key features: a path to citizenship for most illegal immigrants currently in the country, the improvement of border security, a guest worker program, and a point system that will give skilled workers higher priority in receiving a green card.

During the past growing season, I canvassed the state, from the Christmas-tree farms in the western mountains to the crab plants on the eastern shore, and found a guest-worker program that is orderly, rational, legal--and almost completely unworkable...
...freelance agents who work with other recruiters and employers are not nearly so scrupulous. Peasants, lured at times by false promises about what they can earn, are being charged as much as $2,000 to get on recruiters' lists for U.S. positions. If the Senate plan does tighten the border and expand the guest-worker program, says Velasquez, then the money that once went to human smugglers at the border will simply be redirected to criminal gangs inside Mexico who prey on the guest-worker-recruiting process...
...Mexicans from settling here illegally. More than 10% of the company's 2006 workforce took off to live in the U.S. without returning home to Mexico. "If you want to talk about illegals," says Michelle Noevere, who worked in Garland Fulcher's front office last year, "there's the border, and then there's this foot in the door called a guest-worker program...
