...editorial pages, making it the largest in TIME's history. To produce it, the editors drew on the magazine's extensive resources in the U.S., including dozens of correspondents in ten bureaus, plus scores of editors, writers and reporter-researchers on the New York staff. Senior Editor Henry Muller, who oversaw the issue, traveled to California to meet with immigrant leaders, illegal aliens and law-enforcement officials. He joined a nighttime border patrol south of San Diego and crossed into Mexico. Muller brought a special perspective to the task, for he is himself an immigrant, having come from Switzerland...
...Muller is one of more than 60 foreign-born staff members from 29 countries as far-flung as Australia and Bolivia, Germany and Viet Nam. Among the earliest of these new arrivals to America are Assistant Art Director Arturo Cazeneuve, from Argentina, and Layout Chief Burjor Nargolwala, from India. Both became U.S. citizens while serving in the Army during World War II. Time Inc. Editor in Chief Henry Grunwald, who contributed a two-page Essay to the issue, came from Austria in 1940 by way of France, Morocco and Portugal. Assistant Managing Editor John Elson was born in Vancouver...
...Thomas Muller, an economist with the Washington-based Urban Institute who has studied the impact of immigration in California, estimates that in Los Angeles alone, 52,000 Americans and legal immigrants can thank illegal workers from Mexico for their jobs.

Muller found that California's blacks did not suffer an increase in unemployment because...
...Thomas Muller, an immigration expert at the Urban Institute, a Washington- based think tank, argues that the large numbers of illegal aliens in the U.S. are less a problem than a manifestation of American economic dynamism. "We have always depended on some low-wage labor," he says. "The illegal alien situation today is the continuation of a pattern." Muller's assertion may help explain one of the glaring contradictions of current U.S. immigration policy: the meager funding given to the INS to apply existing laws. The INS enforcement budget for 1985 comes to only $366 million for a staff...
Early this year, another scientist joined the Nemesis hunting party. Armand Delsemme, a Belgian-born astrophysicist at the University of Toledo in Ohio, announced that he had just about zeroed in on the best place for Muller or Chester to look for the death star. He has plotted the paths of 126 comets and discovered to his great surprise that they journey around the sun in oddly skewed orbits. Some very powerful object must be out there gravitationally directing the flow of traffic, he says, and that object could be Nemesis...
