“”The agriculture and construction and hospitality industries in Florida would collapse without undocumented immigrants,” said Rep. David Rivera, a Miami Republican and close friend of Rubio. “The prospects for success for these types of proposals are dim.””

Collapse=might have to raise wage rates and hire Americans who might complain when the manager abuses them.

Bottom line.

Yes, we elect them BUT the lobbyists pay them to run. So if we stop electing THAT particular politico the lobbies just ‘hire’ another one to run. If we stop voting completely the lobbies will ‘hire’ people for that too.

We have lost control of out government (state and fed) and I see no way of getting that control back with out the ‘fourth box’.

A republican congressman explaining why it is acceptable to support breaking the immigration laws and why it is acceptable to break the federal minimum wage law.

After all - if his financial supporters and cronies have to pay the legal wage they won't have much left over to pay him for peddling his influence.

There is only one political party left in America -

The Crooked Politician Party

With republicans like this, who needs democrats?
