...former illegal worker in the U.S., I must say I found your article "Undocumented and Undeterred" about immigration compelling [April 27]. It is true we are living in difficult times and on occasion this might trigger a hunt for scapegoats to blame for the economic crisis. But in the end, the only thing that will get us out of this mess is to pull together - legal and illegal, American and non-American. This is a global problem, and massive deportation will only make things worse. Where do you think these deported immigrants will find jobs? Maybe with the drug gangs...

Since all members of the Harvard community must make sacrifices, all members of the community should understand and be fully informed of our financial situation. Like MIT, Harvard should create a website that allows students to see how much we need to save, where the College is thinking of cutting back, and allow undergraduates to rank proposals and see the dollar value that is associated with each plan. In addition, students should...
...Harvard wants to continue to be a leader in higher education, it must see the financial reorganization as an opportunity to teach students to think critically about making collective sacrifices. We are the reason the College was created, and we deserve to both learn from and contribute to the problem-solving process. This financial crisis is one of the greatest in Harvard’s history, and all voices in the College community must be included in order to preserve Harvard as we know it today and to improve it for the future...
