Hooray for Molly Ivins...! Once again, she tells it like it is, this time on immigration...

you bet, molly... let's strip away the layers and layers of total b.s. and look at reality... i realize that's a heretical notion these days but, every once in a while, it's fun to look at things in the clear light of day...

[S]hould you actually want to stop Mexicans and OTMs (other than Mexicans) from coming to the United States, here is how to do it: Find an illegal worker at a large corporation. This is not difficult -- brooms and mops are big tip-offs. Then put the CEO of that corporation in prison for two or more years for violating the law against hiring illegal workers.

[...]

But Business likes illegal workers. The Chamber of Commerce lobbies for them. They're lobbying now for a new bracero program. What a bonanza for Bidness.

[...]

Racists seem obsessed by the idea that illegal workers -- the hardest-working, poorest people in America -- are somehow getting away with something, sneaking goodies that should be for Americans.

[...]

The border is porous. When you want cheap labor, you open it up; when you don't, you shut it down. It works to our benefit -- it always has.

it's such a baldly manipulative tactic and so typical of bushco, appealing to the basest instincts of ethnophobic whites... don't trust them brown-skinned folks, be they ay-rabs, mex's or any of them other funny-lookin', funny-soundin', lyin', cheatin', murderin' weasels that just want to overrun our precious country and take away what's rightfully ours... but the really hysterical thing about this whole issue is that bushco has placed itself squarely between a rock and a hard place... you can't stop the flow of immigrants, be they legal or illegal, AND satisfy your big-bidness cronies at the same time... hey, would you mind passing the popcorn...?
