Picket-line hypocrisy in Hollywood - Illegals the Real Scabs
OC Register ^ | Tuesday, November 27, 2007

What's the difference between an illegal immigrant on a job and a "scab" that crosses a picket line? After all, aren't people both merely seeking work where they can find it? Aren't both willing to toil at a lower wage in an effort to feed their families?

The difference – at least in the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America – is Hollywood liberalism and the bicoastal 213/212 area-code universes that ideologically feed it.

Hollywood supports the illegal immigrant.

Too bad the GOP is not so astute. Hollywood film companies are the enemies of the conservatives. If I were the GOP, I would be demanding that the studios share their obscene profits with their workers. Demand that writers get their fair share by giving them what they want. Support the writers and prolong the strike. All the conservative adversaries (actors, writers, studios and etc) would suffer losses.

Now imagine what would happen if the studios decided to break this strike by using Canadian writers...

Ha, absolutely!

Who's the real Scab?

I was going to chime in, but first followed your admonition to read the whole thing. It is a very astute and cogent comparison, but the savor is bittersweet, is it not?
