Leftists Should Not Be in Favour of the Immigration Bill

Bush's plan to secure a source of cheap exploitable labour, and the "left-wing" Democrats' mindless aquiescence to it has been defeated. No I have no doubt that most people oppose this bill because they are inbred hicks who shudder at the thought of their country becoming overrun by brown people - who don't even speak English! *gasp* - or are worried that they'll take their jobs, even though they work for wages so low that their employers wouldn't be able to afford to offer many of these jobs if they had to pay any higher.

Anyone on the left should see a bill allowing people to stay in this country illegally as the same as a bill allowing people to work for below minimum wage. Both only open the door to exploitation.

Now, you don't have to round up every illegal and kick them out. The top priority should be to severely prosecute the people hiring the illegals. As George Carlin said, giving the death penalty to drug dealers will not deter them, if you want to stop the drug trade, you have to execute the white collar bankers who launder the drug money. This is the same. When the white-bred farmers and construction contractors who hire people illegally start feeling the heat, you'll see a lot fewer illegal immigrants. As soon as the undocumented workers realize they can't find any jobs, they'll head back home on their own.
