To the Editor:

Since 1985, Republicans solely have represented the 9th Legislative District. Assembly members Rumpf and Gove obsess over undocumented immigrants, who they dehumanize with the slur “illegal aliens.” They say the minimum wage increase hurts seniors, a truly stupefying claim, since I see far too many seniors, well beyond the retirement age, forced to work retail-sector jobs at minimum wage to supplement their scant Social Security.
