Bush is not dumb. He is just either blinded by his inlaws and/or the Klintoons have some verrrrry interesting pix of GWB in some compromising positions. “Honey, I knew those copies of F.B.I. files would come in handy.”

That is a stupid statement. There is a third possibility, namely that the President is an avowed Capitalist, and that he sees the need to maintain a stable pool of low rung labor to keep wage inflation in check. That simple.

“That is a stupid statement?”

it might be stupid yet accurate...
of course I’m sure you KNOW what is in Bush’s mind. NOT!

“Stupid is as stupid does.”

You left out cheap and exploitable. I gather you believe that being in favor of slavery is a characteristic of an "avowed Capitalist."

So, Jorge's aim is to create a new and permanent underclass or 'working poor', is this what you are saying? Sounds like it to me. Let's not think about the burden the existing class of working poor is. Why mess-up your wet-dream...

Of course your suggestion assumes that these 'undocumented Americans' are either unwilling to or incapable of moving out of the lowest levels. Why? Because they're Mexicans?

You sound like you’ve got the makings of an 18th century slave master. Have you always reflexively harbored such a condescending attitude about people of any stripe who may actually enjoy a kind of work that you seem so prone to demean?

Thanks for the laugh.
