my boss became a citizen
By shag carpet bomb • Mar 25th, 2009 • Category: Class, Labor Struggles, Nation State, Obama administration, Political Economy, Racializationmy boss became a citizen recently — though his wife, a doctor, didn’t. I didn’t want to pry but I wondered, why? I was guessing pressure at work. Dunno. Meanwhile, Yates has a post up about immigration:
President Obama has decided not to nominate immigrant-rights advocate and attorney, Thomas Saenz, to head the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department. Saenz is currently Los Angeles mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa’s chief legal advisor, and he has a long history of commitment to civil rights. Combined with a recent speech in which Obama said that undocumented immigrants had violated our laws and would have to go to the back of the line and apply for legal admission to the country, the rejection of Saenz does not bode well for progressive immigration reform.
