Having just read another Wall Street Journal admonishing Republicans for seeking to gain control of illegal immigration, I am trying to figure out whether the invasion is a capitalist or communist plot. How can it be both?

Surely you remenber the line about "Give enough rope to the capitalist and he is sure to hang himself".

That's what the WSJ is doing, while the communists just wait.

Nothing about it is 'capitalist' by strict definition. Even where, 'big business' is behind this, it is where private enterprise has found it feasible and profitable to exploit government intrusion into the economy and it's failure to enforce the same.

The communist plot isn't so much the invasion, IMO, nor is it coming from the invaders. The communists are co-opting the issue. It's the rallies, the "uniting workers to the struggle" and the overall mayhem they can create.

The communists, leftists, anti-Americans will take over any issue if they can gain more followers to their cause and try to create chaos in this country.

It cannot be.

But what is can be -- and is -- is both a communist and a corporatist 'plot.'
