Those interested in immigration issues might be interested in
the following letter that I sent to the LA TIMES:

 Dear sir:


 Updating Pastor Martin Niemoeller for 1994 and Prop. 187:

      "In  California they came first for the  illegal  immigrant
 children,  and  I  didn't  speak  up  because  I  wasn't  an  illegal
 immigrant  child.  Then  they  came for  the  folks  who  looked
 "Hispanic"  and I didn't speak up because I didn't  look  Hispa-
 nic.  Then  they  came for the Black folks  who  academics  had
 labeled  intellectually inferior, and I didn't speak up  because  I
 wasn't  Black. Then they came for the Jews, and I  didn't  speak
 up  because  I  wasn't Jewish. Then they came  for  me,  and  by
 that time no one was left to speak up."

                              Sincerely,

                            James Devine

in pen-l solidarity,

Jim Devine
