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...
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...?

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.
