Letter body:
Your articles about measure 88 were not the views of many Catholics. Immigrants are welcome and are allowed to apply for an Oregon Driver License. Illegal aliens are not. Lawbreakers should be punished, not rewarded. Measure 88 was 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. Our children and grandchildren now are having a tough time finding jobs. I took my children with me to pick berries and teach them how to work. Since then Oregon has forbidden young children from fieldwork.
As a lifetime 83-year Catholic, I voted no on Measure 88.
The No on 88 campaign prevailed.
