If having millions of cheap workers were the way to build wealth, most of Africa, Asia, and South America would be rich now. In reality, a large supply of low-skilled laborers is merely a way to have a class system where the monied and connected elites can stay on top and have little worry about the underclass removing them. There are PLENTY of such examples in Africa, Asia, and South America. Is this what Bush really wants?

Well must not be about building wealth but a 'compassionate' method of spreading and maintaining some peoples wealth. Because the liberal minded are NOT going to ignore the supposed plight of the underclass, they will find a way to transfer the wealth using the tax code.

And despite the vile taste that idea puts in my mouth, we still do a FAR better job of it than Mexico. Mexico has a GDP of over $1 trillion. Their per capita income is 10% above the global average. The problem is that a handful of families take the majority of it, and use it to maintain their position by buying police and politicians.
