Bush* want Mexicans to be allowed to work for less than minimum wage

[Bandit]

Bush* made the statement that Mexicans make fifty cents in Mexico and five dollars in America and he wants to make it where business is allowed to hire them legally since they supposedly can't now. He wants to open the borders and let them come to America for jobs which Americans would consider illegal in that they don't even pay minimum wage. I can't see that going over with even his base. I don't know what the solution is but it isn't that. You must treat all workers fairly.

[whistle]

1. Yep, cheap immigrant labor force without rights who can be deported...

...when no longer needed and exploitable. Couple that with cheap imported goods like Wal-Mart sells and you have the Bush economic doctrine in a nutshell!

2. i had not thought of that

But that does make sense.
You know Bush is gonna fuck 'em every way he can.

3. Yes Republicans want to ELIMINATE Minimum Wage ...

They think labor should be "freed" to work for whatever competitive wage they like. In their sick world this is the way to "compete" with all those Indonesian sweatshop workers slaving for $1 for a 12 hour day and no bathroom breaks!!!!!

I don't think anyone else caught the big pot calling the kettle black moment. Bush chastised Kerry for supporting amnesty (BTW, which I personally oppose). But Bush himself called for a general amnesty that would ONLY apply to Mexican workers. His own party was up in arms over it. Bush quietly sulked away from the position as he did with his Mars mission!!!!!

4. And he calls himself a Christian!

What a f*cking liar. Yeah, let those Mexicans come here and do migrant work for peanuts (no pun intended).

Gee, whatever happened to his "good" friend Vincente Fox?

Hmmm....
