The greatest economic downturn since the 1930s and they bring legislation for cheap wages! They would debase our citizenship by giving it to foreign lawbreakers! They would give 10s of millions of illegal aliens a path to the voting booth!
When and if, unemployment goes down considerably, then and only then can we consider some kind of "Operation Wet Back," begun under Eisenhower to meet the demands of some west coast growers.
