A GOOD JOB FOR IMMIGRANTS?

[Nobunaga]

An interesting development in California - non-(US) citizens to be given the right to serve on juries.

Think about it.... Who likes jury duty? 9 times out of 10 you show up, sit around in some lobby for half a day waiting, only to be dismissed. Next day - repeat, then repeat again... and again.

In the same way immigrants efficiently perform tasks that most Americans would never let themselves be brought "so low" to do, this could be a tremendous service for us.

US citizenship? As if that means anything in today's America.

I am thoroughly against this idea. Shortage of jurors in California? What the hell? This makes no sense at all.

Only registered voters are called to serve on juries. If you don't want to serve on jury duty, don't register to vote. Let the immigrants and illegals serve - the system is already FUBAR, i doubt if they could make it any worse.
