During an interview, 'Bama characterized his policies as being those of a moderate Republican. Cross out "moderate," and you'll understand an important aspect of 'Bama's immigration policy. He could care less about Americans - certainly no more than do the Republican congresspeople who are eager to sell out American workers, to please their big donors.

Those of us who care about American workers are often astonished by people who don't seem to know what a new wave of immigrants will do to American job prospects and American wages. But as someone remarked way back in the 1920's, The business of business is business. Unless we want to see American wages further depressed, we absolutely must oppose a new wave of immigrants.
