L.A. Times columnist Steve Lopez - at that link being snowed by a Mexican consul - offers "For One Migrant, March Is a Luxury". It concerns a housekeeper he met:

I met Hernandez, 39, a while back at a birthday party for my nanny's son. She and the nanny grew up in the same Honduran plantation town, came north for work and ended up sharing a small apartment with other adults and children.

I'd imagine that a large part of the Los Angeles Times' support for illegal immigration is simple selfish greed: their top employees are part of the "Nanny Employing Class", and they see no problem with several people sharing a small apartment just so they don't have to buy a Roomba or pay a little more for lettuce. It just makes everything so much easier to have a ready supply of servants, no?

As it turns out, the housekeeper is here on a legal worker permit, even though she initially entered illegally. And, she sends money home, which, when you consider all the other Hondurans in the U.S., props up the government of Honduras, helps them avoid reforms, takes a good chunk of their workforce, and encourages them to send us more people. Of course, when you actually look at the big picture things get a bit messy, and that's probably too complicated for someone who prefers telling heartwarming tales.

Then, Lopez goes on to enumerate the housekeeper's health problems that she can't attend to, and says this:

In other words, she could be the queen of the rallies scheduled for tomorrow.

Exactly how so, Steve? The rallies are in support of illegal immigration, not the legal variety. Or, do the supporters want on-demand citizenship for everyone and an end to any sort of legal worker program such as that used by the housekeeper? And, how exactly would any change in status help Hernandez with her problems?

In fact, what Lopez, the Times, and the organizers want would make things far, far worse. Millions upon millions more illegal aliens would come here, and among those would be untold thousands of competitors for the housekeeper's job.

The queen of the rallies should be those who profit off cheap labor, not the laborers themselves.
