220. I should have said that
"the large majority of recent Mexican immigrants arrive here illegally." That is true, because, legally, Mexicans have no special spot in the immigration lottery. So the great majority arrive here illegally.

In the particular sentence you quoted above, I said that it didn't matter whether they were legal or illegal immigrants because that wasn't germane to the issue of the city government purposely letting the neighborhood deteriorate. But it clearly matters in other respects.

Most reasonable people, if they were aware of the situation, would be concerned about the issue of cities allowing neighborhoods to deteriorate in order to bring in redevelopment.

The comment about the bus was a response to someone who suggested that the EMPLOYER be reported. But you repeated it out of context because your aim is clearly not to be fair.

Same with your other snippets. Context is everything.
