It's the Cheap Labor, Stupid!
Bush’s claim that Americans are
unwilling to do jobs immigrants do is just another lie
designed to mislead Americans about his real concern,
which is maintaining a supply of cheap (virtually slave)
labor for corporations and the wealthy.
When I imagine
talking to my brother, an airline pilot and Bush
supporter who seems otherwise rational, I imagine asking
him if he would fly airplanes for 3 dollars an hour, no
benefits (and no getting paid for lounging about in the
airport before a flight - I’m talking about a time clock
in the cockpit).
It's not that Americans won't do jobs immigrants will
do, it's that American won't do them for slave wages - I
suspect many would be
glad to take jobs currently foisted on immigrants if those jobs actually paid a living wage.Stray Thoughts
