IMMIGRATION
Rolling Up the Welcome Mat

<p> The message blaring out of six Houston radio stations was
loud and clear. "Look at all those people," says a voice. "Where
do they come from?" A companion replies, "It will get worse...They want to let in millions more immigrants."
</p>
<p> The slick radio campaign kicked off last week by the
Washington-based Federation for American Immigration Reform says
traffic, homelessness, drug smuggling and other social problems
will only escalate if present rates of immigration continue.
FAIR is seeking a tighter lid on illegal immigrants and a
300,000-a-year cap on legal new arrivals.
</p>
<p> Outraged by FAIR's campaign, some community officials have
called for a boycott of the radio stations. In the face of such
protest, the stations withdrew the ads. Unfazed, FAIR is looking
for other outlets.
