Whose Hypocrisy?

RECEIVED Fri., Aug. 22, 2003

I want to know if all those Mexican road-crew laborers employed by the city of Austin are legal immigrants. I cannot tell you all those that I pass (I'm a runner) that cannot speak English! How is this possible?
   I would like a city job (even digging a ditch), but unless you "know" someone Mexican, English need not apply!
Hypocrisy at work again,
