John
Spain : The Ugly Side of Immigration
There are many positive aspects to the huge immigration that Ireland
has experienced in recent years. The coffee bar in the newspaper
office block where I work, for example, is entirely staffed by young
immigrants. They're bright and cheerful and make excellent coffee
and, if you like, they can discuss Sartre or Kafka with you while
you're waiting.

"When you think of coming from a slum in Limerick, Ireland,
and then all of a sudden you're in Albany, New York, filing to be
governor of the state, you say there's some sort of humor coming
on high here. And I will indulge fully in all of that." - Malachy
McCourt
Taking
Advantage?
"I enjoy your articles about immigration. When I read articles like
the one I have enclosed I begin to wonder if there are special laws
for certain countries and certain individuals. I would like for
you to address all the ways other nationalities seem to take advantage
of the immigration laws of the U.S."
