In other words, these employers (i.e. Bush's donors) just don't want to pay the market rate for manual labor. So Bush's answer is to import labor from 3rd world countries knowing they will happily accept way-below-market-value wages. And are happy to use our free emergency medical services because of their way-below-market wages. And are happy for the free schooling for their 8 kids.
Bush has been such a disappointment on immigration. Now when some of my liberal co-workers bash him for the Iraq war, I answer them by bashing him for immigration instead of sticking up for him like I used to.
"Any one who hires an illegal immigrant is liable for ALL medical care, housing, education of that illegal immigrant for his/her life. Thanks for a recent supreme court ruling, the person who hires illegal people can have all his/her property confiscated to pay for the social care of the people they hire.
That's it. Just stick those two sentences in a bill when Ted Kennedy is getting thirsty...again.
No problemo
