The Cons want Slaves: (The Truth Behind Their Mexican Bashing Nonsense)

[norml]

They want to bring in even more workers from poorer countries, to take whatever jobs they can't ship away.

They want what they call a "guest worker" program, in order to be able to bring in even more people from poorer countries, and to be able to treat them as badly or worse than they are being treated now, but to be able to do it officially.

All this nonsense about getting tough on the border, or about getting tough on the "illegals", is just cover their selling of "guest worker" as the solution to the "illegals" problem.

Even though the right wing media clowns get hit down hard by a few of the less comatose Fweeperland Flavor-Aid drinkers, for pushing "guest worker", and for saying stupid insulting stuff like "These are jobs Americans won't do.", they keep on pushing it, most often now by lining up the scripted shills they call "callers" to make the sales pitch for them.

I've mentioned the solution before, fines for those that employ non-citizens, or non-green card holders.

If on the other hand there's really a shortage of people in this country, a genuine shortage of workers, then make more people citizens.

Having a class of people who are either officially, or un-officially exploitable, degrades us all.

Don't blame them.

Blame those who would be masters.

1. And don't forget, millions of American citizens are already

virtual "slaves". The cheap wage Mexican situation serves to further lower the wages of the American slaves. For business, this "new slave system" is better than the plantation slave situation of the 19th Century. Now, the slaves are responsible for taking care of themselves while actually in the service of the companies. Current business doesn't actually own the slaves. What a racket!

3. bush and the other corporatist want coolies.

They want their cheap labor, but not their participation in society.
