I wonder if he knows he's using the same arguments used by the Confederacy for continuing slavery? Cotton could only be produced economically with slave labor at the time, however, after the end of the war and slavery, the cotton gin was invented.

I was corrected the other day on the date for the cotton Gin. Apparently it wasn't needed with all that CHEAP labor. I guess when slavery ended they had no choice but to use the invention.

And yes you are right. Not only are the arguements (from Bush as Well) promoting anarchy, but preying on the miseries of people that have the misfortune to be born and live in a socialist pig sty called Mexico,
