On this one, Bush is clearly on the side of the country club GOP; you know, the guys that own businesses and want cheap labor.

That’s what this is about.

These are the consituents of George Bush and his quislings in Congress:

"Though no one wants to reward illegal behavior, we must find a way for these workers to come forward, make good on the past and participate in a program that leads to permanent residency and eventual citizenship."

That is a small part. What it is really about is the planned North American Union of which is supposed to be announced in Sept. of this year. You know, no borders, free flow of travel, etc. And then there is the Law of the Sea treaty controlled by the UN

Not just the guys with labor intensive businesses, but also the rich guys who clip coupons. They want body servants and lawn boys. Some of them want upstairs maids and downstairs maids.

A large percentage of them clearly want to have a lot of servants around so they can feel like "Ol'massa in the big house".

Two groups of people America doesn't want ~ people willing to be slaves, and slavers.

Hi kjo,

I dunno. It seems a circular motive... Once the illegal aliens are legalized, they are legitimate and subject to being taxable labor, thus rendering a good portion of their current "cheapness" null.

Granted, that is still cheaper than unionized w/ health and etc, but still...It would seem the status quo would be more to Big Business' liking.

I don't know what that means, other than that it shakes up the labor side of the equation without necessarily disturbing the traffic across the border.

It would seem that one should look for people who would benefit from that.

Look at it from the Washington Political Wonks point of view...

Which is more likely to pass. A bill that gets the phones ringing, but not much else?

Or a bill that puts millions of screaming Hispanic voters (legal, or otherwise) in the streets, with HOURS of TV coverage?
