Immigration Election 2008

America has a sick need for free or cheap labor. Let's be honest, this country was founded on free and cheap labor. Yes, I am black and slavery was horrible and yatta yatta yatta. The Dutch, English and Spanish all imported prisoners, indentured servants and chattel slaves to America beginning in the 1500's. The very spirit of this land is to build and employ for cheap. It is a hard habit to break. It is a cruel practice to dignify. So as the 2008 Presidential Candidates construct piece meal platforms on how to cure the immigration crisis, understand that there is no real plan to do away with the migrant Spanish population that "illegally" enters this country. I challenge you to read about a free market society's need for a poor working class. The requirement doesn't really involve the working class being anything but controllable. With South Americans that travel here from poorer underdeveloped countries, the United States seems like a virtual goldmine and corporations love it. The problem doesn't really come from those menial manual labor jobs that you don't want! The problem is the jobs that Americans are willing to train for and get new skills for are outsourced for a cheaper price as well. Now you are federally fucked with no Vaseline. And buddy, it ain't changing until we change it. Below I have linked the current presidential candidates and their individual platforms on immigration and I have also linked you to your state's Senator and Congressperson. The keys to the Lexus, please drive, you are to poor to afford your chauffeur.
