The sad truth is that overwhelmingly these illegals are needed in our workforce because the rest of us established, arrogant citizens are too educated to do menial tasks. |
That is irrelevant to the discussion, although many pols want it to be a part of it. Quite simply, the work force is not a function of illegal immigration except where the 2 meet by coincidence. And using the work force as justification for illegal immigration, while popular in some political corners, only serves to demonstrate the lack of a coherant argument for legalizing crime that those politicians have.
Long before, during and after this "crises" of illegal immigration, we are going to have a need for additional workers in some fields. And while congress has made allowances for some guest workers, they are shirking their duty by not creating a comprehensive program. And the reason for the shirking is 2 fold - either they want to legalize crime, or they are afraid of legalizing crime. Stupid? yes. But then isn't politics when boiled down to the simple truth always stupid?
