Los Angeles 'is a Third World city' Last Updated: 1:53am BST 23/04/2008 Los Angeles is becoming a "Third World city" with immigrants making up half its workforce, says a new study. A third of immigrants have not graduated from high school and 60 per cent do not speak English fluently, the Migration Policy Institute found. It said this left immigrants ill-equipped to fill California's fastest-growing occupations, such as computer software engineering and nursing. The organisation added that as the so-called baby boomers reach retirement age, a similar pattern will spread across the US. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/23/wla123.xml

It's interesting that this story came from the U.K. Do you think that is because the story is wrong or is it because they actually pay more attention to whats happening in our Country than we do?
