Re: Even Baby Boomers Think It's Harder to Get Started Professionally Than It Used to
Yep. I find it very strange how many Republicans voters vote Republican because they believe the GOP actually is against illegal immigration. The GOP is very pro-business, and businesses LOVE immigrants, both illegal, and legal because they work cheaper and they help hold wages down. Your statement about a wink and a nod is a perfect description of what's going on. Even when the GOP has the White House and the chance to push through a workable immigration policy they don't. They talk a good game, but do nothing. Hell Bush 2 wanted to give the illegals amnesty. Reagan did. But the GOP base still believes it's the Republicans who want to fix the immigration problem.
We as a nation are addicted to slave labor and whatever it is we can get that's closest to that. Which is why there will never be any honest policy put forth to address illegal immigration so long as they can, with a wink and a nod, work under the table here. Which has the added effect of driving the rest of our wages down.
