The push for amnesty isn't driven by a desire to import more cheap labor (otherwise, why would many the same interests pushing for amnesty also be pushing for minimum wage hikes that will only drive employment levels down?). This whole thing -- from the Chamber of Commerce to public-sector labor unions to the elected officials who are firmly in their back pockets -- is driven by the perceived need to get more consumers into the U.S.
This is the inevitable "end-game" for a nation that has run its course in history and is now positioned as a fading empire whose only purpose is to feed a massive consumer/entitlement culture. The U.S. government would even be fully on board with a plan to allow 10 million hardened criminals from other countries to become citizens tomorrow ... because there's always a major interest out there who sees them as a huge business opportunity (the "law enforcement industrial complex," comprised of police officers, lawyers, the prison management sector, etc.).
it’s not about cheap labor, we have plenty here who would do anything for a job
it’s not about more consumers
it’s about Democrat votes before the elections
You’re analysis is dead on. And despite the lip service some pay to our position on this, money talks. You can COUNT on us being sold out. As they say, it’s all about the Benjamins.
These people (which is why I LOATHE news entertainment) are in it for the money and not for America.
