Linda Chavez has one goal, and one goal only, namely, to drive labor cost down as much as possible. She cares nothing about immigrants, law or truth.
I regret that I, at one time, believed she had something to offer.
Linda Chavez is generally a good conservative so I am puzzled about her position on immigration. I respect her opinion about amnesty although I respectfully disagree. I cannot understand labeling others who disagree as racist. Conservatives and others who oppose amnesty and open southern borders have strong reasons for opposition.
I agree with her assessment that immigrants today are not fundamentally different than immigrants of previous generations. However, the legal and political environment today is much different influencing the behavior of immigrants. Thus, immigrants today expect or are informed that they should demand welfare. In addition, the country does not need a large influx of people today. Most desirable locations are already heavily populated. Although the country is overall sparsely populated, most sparsely populated areas cannot be populated or are undesirable.
