Misleading readers on Measure 88
Monday, October 20, 2014 8:13 AM
To the
Catholic Sentinel
:
Your articles about measure 88 are not the views of many Catholics. You are misleading your readers.
Immigrants are welcome and are allowed to apply for an Oregon Driver License. Illegal aliens are not. We are a nation of laws. Lawbreakers should be punished, not rewarded. Those who violate our laws don’t deserve special favors. Even Jesus evicted the evildoers from the temple.
Vote NO on measure 88. This measure is funded by large organizations that want to take advantage of cheap laborers who work for low wages.
My 12 younger siblings and I worked all summer on the farm. All 13 of us are still alive. Our children and grandchildren now, are having a tough time finding jobs. In the 1970s, I picked berries and took my children with me to teach them how to work. Since then Oregon has forbidden young children from fieldwork.
As a lifetime 83-year Catholic, I vote no on measure 88.
