Jesse Jackson | Wage War on Poverty, Not Immigrants

The only way to stop the flood of immigrants is to help lift their standards up, rather than drive ours down. We can spend billions trying to lock immigrants out and hold those that come in down. Or we can devote energy and resources now wasted on a civil war in Iraq to help lift our neighbors up, gain real trading partners and significantly reduce the misery that drives people from their homes, writes Jesse Jackson.

There is no immigration crisis - other than the one created by a small but vocal stripe of opportunist politicians, media demagogues and freelance xenophobes. So it has always been throughout the history of this country when anti-immigrant hysteria periodically reigns during low ebbs in our national sense of security and vision, writes Robert Scheer.
