The Dirty Business Of Turning This Latino Farmworker Town Into A Toxic Wasteland
**Update via The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment
Last Friday we submitted over 4,900 signatures and comments to the Department of Toxic Substances Control letting them know we aren't ok with Kettleman City being our state's dumping ground! Thank you to everyone who signed and the folks at Cuéntame for speaking up for what is right. We will keep you posted on the future of the dump's permit to expand by a whopping 50% (it is already the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi River!)
Kettleman City is a rural, majority Latino and farmworker community halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is home to the largest hazardous waste dump this side of the Mississippi and to shockingly high rates of childhood cancer, birth defects and miscarriages - two facts residents believe to be connected. WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO EXPOSÉ.

Edward Dijeau commented on Video: The Truth About Immigration You Are Most Likely To Miss 2013-02-27 19:44:25 -0800When there is a job to fill and Americans will not or can not fill the position, then an" illegal resident" should get a chance before a Non- resident untill everyone here is LEGAL and has employment. This is not Low Wage Jobs but Good middle class jobs. We do not need an “Underclass” but an American Class". Imigrants appreciate being here and work harder than many natural Born Citizens. Birthright does not make good people, hard work and gratitude does. Service in our military should be a ticket to citizenship as well as hard work and loyalty to our Constitution. The question is how do you take 11 millon people and chose who will make good citizens and who will not? Being willing to sacrifice, with a penalty fee, and paying their fair share is all we should ask. Their response will be hard work or getting out. It is a big job but America has faced bigger chalenges. AFTER ALL, WE ARE A NATION OF IMIGRANTS.
