Re "Melting Pot Still Bubbles," editorial, March 11: Fact is, it's bubbling over. When will you learn to spell "overpopulation"? The editorial praised at length the cultural contributions of immigrants, briefly noting for balance that there might be economic disadvantages. But when will editors start reading their own newspaper, which for years has reported (1) shortages of water and electricity; (2) overcrowded schools and freeways; (3) skyrocketing costs of housing, public services and infrastructure; and (4) lost habitat, fisheries, forests and farmland?
