Who put up the money for the amnesty bill?.
“Who put up the money for the amnesty bill?.”
It’s coming from the Rove end of the party.
It’s business, and they NEED WORKERS who are RELIABLE, CHEAP, and SKILLED (to some extent).
That eliminates today’s high school graduate as they’re too busy with their video games and texting to realize that there’s anything else in the world. Not to mention lazy as hell. Same for the welfare class that looks at work as a form of slavery.
But the labor is STILL NEEDED, and that is where the immigrants come in. Now, at this time, they’re mostly illegal - so business owners live under the constant threat of jail time (and Obama sent a few away early in his presidency to make sure they understood that). They NEED LABOR and they desperately want the labor to be legal.
As to whether these people stay, destroy the demographics and turn this country into a THIRD WORLD CESSPOOL, that’s for future generations to deal with (and their kids will inherit enough money to wall themselves off from the worst of it, or so they think). The ONLY important thing now is that next quarter’s earnings, and the earnings after that, as that is where the BIG BONUS CHECKS come from.
So the Dems make a deal - you get your cheap, reliable, semi-skilled labor, by the millions - but we GET THEIR VOTES. The business owners SIMPLY DO NOT CARE about the votes, so they take the bait and hit up the IDIOT Republican leaders who think the country is JUST DYING to turn Hispanic, but are being drowned out by the Tea Party.
...and so, THIS YEAR, it’s time to stick it to the Tea Party and show them they do not represent the country - for the VAST MAJORITY of the country cannot wait for Spanish to be the first language, and DAMMIT, the Republicans WILL GET THE CREDIT for that.
