Wanted: a shiny new immigration reform law that legalizes migrant labor to be exploited by businesses who want to hold wages down as they dump the social costs for their employees -- health care, schools, courts, cops, prisons – onto taxpayers.

In truth there are good arguments for migrant labor but the one aspect that befuddles me more than any other is the advocates' willingness to have government subsidize the laborer and his/her family. Businessmen scream about protecting free enterprise from government interference, yet here they want Mommy government's help. Go figure.

Not only have Richardson and Napolitano awakened

Both are big time supporters of "travelers." Here they get a two-fer. They can embarrass the mainline Republican Party and, as a bonus for clearing up the border, they provide safe passage for the next twenty percent of Mexico who want to "travel" here ILLEGALLY if they must.

"They can embarrass the mainline Republican Party..."


And who put the Republican Party in this position? They did it to themselves sucking hind tit off of business interests, and to hell with the security of the country.

Profits over security. Business interests over keeping this nation safe.
