Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
How many racial stereotypes can the NY Times back in one article?
and check out this excerpt:
“The resilience of immigrants in New York has been put to the test during the economic downturn. According to a study released last month by the institute, unemployment rates increased for both immigrants and nonimmigrant New Yorkers from early 2008 to early 2010, but the rate for immigrants remained two percentage points lower than that of nonimmigrants.
The study also revealed that while the percentage of native-born residents in the city’s labor force fell as the worsening job market led many to abandon their search for work, that rate increased for immigrants, as family members with limited or no access to welfare payments and other safety-net protections sought jobs. Indeed, while several Mexicans in the Bensonhurst building said they had suffered cuts in hours and even days during the worst months of the recession, none said they had gone without work for more than a few days at a time.”
What kind of editor lets this anti-immigrant propaganda through?
