I really question why, in the midst of a painful recession with high unemployment, we should bring in large numbers of foreign guest workers to compete against American workers.
Because the ultra-rich and corporations--that wholly own Congress, Obama, and all their henchmen--run this country and want to finish the job of drowning the middle class in the bathtub. They put on some Kabuki theatre about fighting things out, but they all want a large, quiet, controllable, slave-like underclass that just keeps the roads paved, the hedges trimmed, and the Starbucks coffee flowing--it doesn't matter what language they speak. Whether you're a grateful Mexican immigrant or an Literature-degree graduate saddled with $80,000 in student loans at 19% interest doesn't make a difference to them.
This is the go-fuck-yourself politics of the multi-national corporation. Then their media outlets--which they also control--lather people up about the ethnic aspects of the issue so you stay distracted and not come after the real villains.
Take the real "red pill," not the one the TV or corporate-owned internet site is selling you.
