“Bush’s loss was equally monumental: He lost Congress by pushing amnesty. “
People forget (or never linked) this. I haven’t. I remember that campaign in 2006, Bush had COMPLETELY pulled the rug out from our side with his Amnesty push. Republicans could not figure out a reason to vote that day.
Our Senate losses that night, due to Amnesty, also led to the Democrats having the majority they needed in 2010 to get Obamacare through without a single Republican vote.
Not forgotten, Bush I believe is the one who came up with “They’re doing jobs Americans won’t do”.
Here is the problem as I see it. The gloBULList slugs that run industry want a “free” market to set prices (high hopefully) for their manufactured goods and unfettered ( i.e. no tariffs) to sell anywhere to anyone. Then paradoxically these “captains of industry” they want to fix labor rates at a low price to maximize profits. When that fixed price doesn’t attract any takers they call Americans lazy and worthless and demand importation of both skilled ( h-1B visa ) and unskilled ( wetbacks) to fulfill their slavish wet dreams. F em all.
