Liberate Iraq, Drop the "Patriot Act" on the US citizens. Allow rural hospitals to close, pump some money into maintaining free health care for illegal aliens. You are right there is a pattern. George Bush and the cast of RINOs in DC have remained like Demoncats in this area. Subvert the US to build up other nations.
Can't say that I blame them though. After a generation or two of graduates from a hate-America university system, business men will do whatever it takes to make a buck in a tax-to-death nation like the US. Since they have been taught that America is evil and everywhere else is great, they have been taught to disrespect our legal system and to embrace authoritarian governments, so business has decided to pour labor dollars into illegals, H1s, and off shore factories.
Everyone loves the relatively cheap labor of illegal aliens. Illegals don't gripe and bitch, organize unions, file carpel-tunnel-syndrome complaints, scream sexual harassment, call in OSHA, EEOC, IRS or any other federal agency to harass an illegal employing business. Just slide them cash under the table and automatically ignore paying FICA, unemployment insurance, or worry about hiting that employment number level where whole new worlds of bureaucratic BS kick-in. Your home owner insurance stays cheaper because every Tom, Dick and Harry wants a brand new roof for their house every time the sun ducks behind a cloud. The way to compensate for this mass money grab by insurance policy holders is to keep the labor costs low.
Illegals don't pay social security, and up until recently weren't going to collect SSI. Because of liberal tax policies that continue to relieve low incomer earners from paying "their fair share" and transfering their responsibilities to the Productive class, there wasn't much in the way of lost tax revenue. Because of seasonal labor, and the IRS trying their hardest to W-2 the entire world, illegals are wonderful for many businesses because they don't file for unemployment thus removing the burden from the employers and the tax payers.
Bush & Co. love illegals aliens because liberal business leaders love illegal aliens and foreign labor. Bush & Co. love open borders because the economy is measured in the S&P not the unemployment figures. It doesn't matter if no one is working domestically as long as the stock market trends upward.
