Because he and his pals are having campaign coffers filled with campaign contributions from the corrupt employers benefitting from illegal alien labor, and because of Karl Rove's mad idea that pandering to them will make Hispanic U.S. citizens vote Republican.

Venezuela, who is our third largest supplier ,is presently bargaining with China for most of the oil allotments normally reserved for the United States.
