The Truth Behind Their Mexican Bashing Nonsense (They want more Mexicans) |
|
Edited on Thu May-04-06 01:51 AM by norml
They want to bring in even more workers from poorer countries, to take whatever jobs they can't ship away.
They want what they call a "guest worker" program, in order to be able to bring in even more people from poorer countries, and to be able to treat them as badly or worse than they are being treated now, but to be able to do it officially.
All this nonsense about getting tough on the border, or about getting tough on the "illegals", is just cover their selling of "guest worker" as the solution to the "illegals" problem.
Even though the right wing media clowns get hit down hard by a few of the less comatose Fweeperland Flavor-Aid drinkers, for pushing "guest worker", and for saying stupid insulting stuff like "These are jobs Americans won't do.", they keep on pushing it, most often now by lining up the scripted shills they call "callers" to make the sales pitch for them.
I've mentioned the solution before, fines for those that employ non-citizens, or non-green card holders.
If on the other hand there's really a shortage of people in this country, a genuine shortage of workers, then make more people citizens.
Having a class of people who are either officially, or un-officially exploitable, degrades us all.
Don't blame them.
Blame those who would be masters.

Businesses employing illegals should be heavily, heavily fined, especially if they are paying substandard wages.
But this whole immigration debacle is merely a diversion from their real agenda: slave labor.
I have no problem with people coming to this nation for a better life ( if they think they can get it here.) If the tables were turned, Americans would sneak over the border with their families too. Look at the idiocy people will put up with for a freakin' puny tax cut.
When I found out Tyson let their workers take the day off for the protests Monday, I realized the whole immigration focus is coming from the Corporations and their lapdog media.

2. You said it. It's all a bunch of Sturm und Drang bullshit. |

As long as you have greedy megacorporations running the show in this country, we are going to have illegals pouring in and providing the cheapass labor the corps can't outsource. There is NO WAY the Republicans will do ANYTHING to stop illegal immigration, while at the same time they will do EVERYTHING to keep it going. Their latest dog-and-pony show is just to play to their racist base, and those people are so fucking stupid they actually believe it.
