Excellent point. Although I most definitely do not support this bill, there appear to be an awful lot of Freepers who seem to have absolutely no problem using the full force and weight of the Federal government as long is it "protects" what they want.
I hate this bill on law-and-order grounds (uhhh, what part of illegal don't the amnesty supporters get), but still cringe a little bit when I hear conservatives begging for the government to save them from Leftist boogeymen like "wage suppression" and "multi-national corporations."
“wage suppression” and “multi-national corporations.”
If the government was doing its job and enforcing immigration laws, wage suppression would not be an issue.
Corporations could hire all the people they want at the prevailing market driven wages.
What’s happening is that through their lack of enforcement of the immigration laws, the government is short circuiting the free market for labor. That, I think, is what most people are angry about.
Surely you can see the difference.
