This can’t be true. After all, we know Bush stopped these kinds of sweeps a long time ago.

“This can’t be true. After all, we know Bush stopped these kinds of sweeps a long time ago.”

No one ever said “Bush stopped these kinds of sweeps”. No, it was the republican congress led by the Georgia delegation (Chambliss, Newt,etc) that put a stop to the employer sweeps to protect their precious vidallia onion growers in 1998.

Bush just didn’t bother to start them up again and ignored it until recently when he was forced to.
Sweeps were higher under Clinton than Bush.
