(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
I'm afraid we're going to have to disagree. This piece is full of leftist code words, calling Tancredo a "nativist" and calling him minor league... I heard of him before the immigration issue came to the fore, but then I guess I pay more attention than the average American.
She nearly refuses to use the word illegal and calls class warfare into play. "Poorly educated black men"... I thought the government schools were pumping out hordes of computer savvy techno geeks with more education than in years prior. Her plan calls for a permanent underclass to "do the jobs Americans are overqualified for or just won't do." If this is what we need to drive our economy why isn't Mexico's economy booming? These are actually entry level jobs that America's younger workers are supposed to be doing to build an employment history. Instead they sit and collect social welfare while they wait to be lifted to the top of the ladder of success with an executive job based solely on their overinflated sense of worth instilled by those government schools who teach "fairness" and "self esteem" over achievement.
Congress hasn't fixed it because they fear the loss of a potentially huge voting bloc. Democrats want to pander to them offering socialist programs and legal stauts while republicans want to just make them legal to satisfy corporate donors and keep the costs of deporting them all to a minimum.
Illegal immigration does NOT benefit middle class America. Middle class America benefits America, cheap lettuce and lawn care aside. Middle class America pays the welfare, medical, schooling, housing, wage tax, unemployment tax, disability insurance, workman's comp on and on down the line for these illegals while their unscrupulous, or unaware, employers pocket the profits of NOT paying the fare.
The cost to employ a worker at minimum wage in PA is over $10.00/hr, not the $6.15 the worker actually gets before taxes. Employers who don't follow the rules push their costs onto the employers who do, thus keeping the wages of their workers down. This practice also prohibits the small businessman from hiring more entry level employees. This is where the allure of the illegal worker comes in. The chance to hire someone off the books and split the $10.00 cost of employment with the worker.
How can one say that is the process that drives America?
Sorry for the rant
Second, correct, illegal aliens like being illegal aliens, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Third, the middle class benefits from illegal aliens? If that is true, where do those 70% poll numbers come from to shut down illegal border crossings?
The middle class sees the costs in taxes, in schools, in hospitals, in crime of illegal aliens. To me, that's a better explanation for the 70% poll numbers.
Then Tucker, because in part she's agreeing with a Republican, has to go on an anti-Republican rant against Tom Tancredo to show her liberal pals that she's not like those evil Republicans. This is a typical liberal media crapola article.
Don't give the b******s a break. Get them down and keep them down. Tucker deserves this more than most.
