OPINION
Immigration is a highly contentious, pivotal Issue and opinions range from locked against to strongly supportive. Though mixed, of course, Blacks' feelings are predominantly negative. The "new immigration" has obvious far-reaching ramifications for politics, the economy, public education and other key areas. (Black leaders were virtually silent concerning last year's immigrant rights national initiative.)

VOICES OF OUR COMMUNITY
Speaking for Themselves
Question: What should be done to address the problems associated with the illegal immigrants who are seeking a guest worker or other amnesty program?
JAMES HEATH, Retired Postal Worker, Los Angeles, CA-
Anyone who breaks the law, regardless of their place of origin, should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. If amnesty is granted to illegal immigrants, is amnesty going to also be granted to Americans with misdemeanors or minor felonies?
