48. Nonsense. It omits any mention of illegal and legal workforce, just "workforce".
"No. But you have never hesitated to COMPARE cheap labor opponents to known racists..."

I am pleased that note your statement that I have "accused just about everyone who disagrees with your cheap labor agenda of being racist" is not correct. You had me worried for a while that I had unintentionally done so.

I certainly have pointed out on many occasions that "known racists" and known racist political parties oppose liberal immigration policies. It is easy to find instances of it since all the "populist" right wing parties espouse limiting immigration. I will continue to post those in the future.

As far as your revised charge that I "have never hesitated to COMPARE cheap labor opponents to known racists..." I would have to disagree again. In most of the articles I post about right wing parties and racist individuals blaming immigration for all of society's problems, I make no reference to Democrats who want to limit immigration. So perhaps I do frequently "hesitate" to make the comparison after all.

Perhaps though there is something to be said for your implied suggestion that comparing those who favor limiting immigration to known racist (or those who favor increasing immigration to known cheap labor advocates) is not a good way to win hearts and minds. ;) While I will continue to post examples of right wingers and racists who oppose immigration, I will try my best to "hesitate" when it comes to drawing any comparison with Democrats who support that policy.
