Freepers interested in knowing just what it is that the Bush Administration has been smoking on immigration should go to following link...

Cato Institute: "Willing Workers"

...and download the full report. Its author, Daniel Griswold, is at the Cato Institute (Libertarian think tank). He wrote an Op-Ed piece for the pro-immigration Wall Street Journal last week. The report is amazing! It lays out the case for recognizing the "reality" of Mexican workers, and their "benefit" to the U.S. And what is that? Cheap labor.

One of the other "benefits" it reviews is that each Mexican immigrant costs the U.S. Taxpayer a net $89,000!!!

You'll see that these pro-immigration Wall Street Republicans (e.g. Bush) are doing the bidding for the likes of the National Restaurant Association, and other employers of cheap unskilled labor. They want to hire these people cheap, reap the profits, and stick the taxpayer with the bill for Government services the immigrants use.

National Restaurant Assoc. Pushes Immigration "Reform"

yes, and the republo-whores take advantage of the welfare entitlements without attaching their names to them, while the taxpaying American public is fleeced.

at least Reagan spoke a good small government game.

well, at least until he granted amnesty.

Restaurant and hotel jobs used to be beginners jobs and I don't see any reason why they can't go back to that. I knew quite a few kids who worked in restaurants when they were in high school. Myself I pumped gas and changed tires for a summer. Those are the kids jobs.
