Enforce immigration laws, activist says



Enforce immigration laws, activist says.
Art Bush can remember a time when the 'Little Mexico' of North Fair Oaks was pretty much all white folks. The 65-year-old pool cleaner has lived in this working class neighborhood in unincorporated Redwood City since his family moved from Hunter"s Point in San Francisco six decades ago. The modest single-family home where he grew up is just two doors down from the modest single-family home that Bush calls home today, and he has witnessed the demographic changes from the vantage of his doorstep. Standing on the parched grass of his front lawn, Bush points to the house on his left. 'I"ve got Muslim neighbors from Fiji who I dearly love, and (those in) the house next door are from Mexico,' Bush says, pointing now to the house on his right and a tight cluster of tall yellow stalks.
