"Republican employers are addicted to cheap foreign labor. They should plan to raise wages until they can attract Americans to take the jobs."

And you should be ready to pay for it through higher prices and increased inflation.

As opposed to paying for it through school taxes, property taxes, lost income,...

1. It is not true that all higher costs are necessarily passed onto the consumer, especially given such an elastic market as vacation resorts.

2. So what if they are? *I* make *MY* money through labor. I don't *WANT* the labor marker devalued.

Basically you're asking me to put up with:
1. Higher federal, state, local, school, and propert taxes;
2. Conjestion, pollution, and development;
3. Millions of Democratic voters added to the rolls;

so I can get:
1. A nation which no longer can conduct itself in English;
2. A depressed labor market;
3. all the ensuing social problems.

No wonder President Bush is losing to a fascist reamimation of Lurch's evil brother!
