“The Republicans represent big business...Big business wants amnesty...Big business funds the GOP...”
Big Business also funds the Democrats. Big Business covers all of its bases.
Big Business likes Big Government. Big Government likes Big Business.
The basic problem here is money runs DC through lobbyists, access, bribery, and the ability to buy air time. That is why we have what we have: 4 perennial leaders in both parties neither wishing to give up their strangleholds all picking their committee chiefs who follow in lock step to keep the ball rolling. In this mix, the people are on the outside looking in unless their views parallel what the money interests want. The benefactors btw don't just include big business, they include the myriad number of large groups like the enviormental nazi’s, teacher unions, and health groups like insurers and medical associations. These groups will not support any third party grass roots movements because these groups have no access and are mostly one item platforms. I think the best a third party presidential party has done ever is about 10%. Aside from a few congressional individuals who run as “socialists or independents” but who are nothing buy democrats, they have no chance of winning without the money, it is that simple.
After all that, my point is this: unions used to be against unbridled immigration. They changed. Rush pointed this out yesterday in response to a question. IMO, the GOP will go along with his majesty on this one because there now exists no moneyed interest fighting it. They will rant and rage but at the end of the day it will be a done deal.
I suspect the winds of revolution maybe in the air soon.
