You know, it's not enough for our esteemed Senators to enact a law inviting masses of foreign workers in, but they also insist on gratuitously shoveling mountains of our tax money into the hands of immigrant advocacy groups.
If employers insist they need the Mexican guest workers, why can't those employers that are supposedly saving so much money by hiring cheap foreigners pay these costs????
What were the names of the "community-based organizations" who had a seat at the table when this bill was being worked on?
The groups that had input in the writing of this bill also stand to gain financially?
Oh, this bill smells worse with each passing hour...
