I HAVE never wrote to this or any other news paper but feel I should on this matter. My opinion on the “Disappointed” letter is true in many ways. Should the minimum wage rise, all is fair game for those who apply for jobs. More so for the local residents since majority of them have to pay for their own expenses (school, utilities, home, etc.) and the jobs I feel will go to the local residents slowly pushing out the contract workers.
The idea of “My children were born on a U.S. territory” does not give the non U.S. citizen parents any legal right to obtain U.S. citizenship.
Saipan, you have opened your doors too wide and must find a resolution to provide to the local residents before you can ever provide to the nonresidents.
