Dear Editor,
Having read your recent article about
immigrants occupying local jobs, I would like to express my total disagreement
with the opinion stated, which I would define as racist and, moreover, inmoral.
The idea of encouraging local
businessmen to fire all immigrants and employ local people as the most suitable
option to reduce unemploment is simply a fallacy. Are you sure we, locals, are
willing to become underpaid cleaners, housework assistants, elderly carers or seasonal
farmers? Do you really think this is the solution to the economical crisis? If
only it were as simple as that.
I was born in Tudela and, as
many others, I am unemployed. Graciela is from Ecuator. She has been working
for me during the last five years and the thing I shall not do is fire her and
hire a local worker. In my view, Graciela is not an immigrant stealing welfare,
she is just a very good worker and a good citizen. Are immigrants to blame for
the current situation? Are not they just even weaker victims? Skin, religion or
names should not be the scales of our society.
And just to conclude, please do
not do cheap politics. That is not what we, critical readership, require from
you. In my opinion, you should reconsider your obtectivity and write a new
article pondering the immigrants point of view and how they also suffer this
crisis.
I hope you consider publishing my
opinions with regard to this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Mary C.
