The draconian Arizona Anti-Mexican Immigrant law -- this legislation is not aimed at white immigrants -- would not have passed and been signed under Bush; Karl Rove would have made sure of that.
[...] Bush and Cheney were basically heirs to the slavery tradition of low wage labor and believed that corporate America should have access to the cheapest possible labor market -- legal or otherwise.
[...] Without a Republican in the White House to protect the right of corporations to exploit illegal labor, the Republican Governor of Arizona signed the law [...] and became a right wing populist hero even if it will probably cause her state hundreds of millions of dollars in boycott revenue and litigation costs.
The Republicans still have a split in their party between the corporatists who are happy to employ illegal immigrants at sub-living wages and the white Tea Party populist base that is upset that whites are becoming a minority [...]
That's the Republican dilemma; corporatist profits and slave wages over jobs for Americans and the bigot vote.
Bush was on the side of the corporatists, so the worst of the GOP immigration bills, a la Arizona, never passed during his administrations [...] because big business wanted a continued supply of rock bottom low wage labor. [...]
Americans who have lost their jobs cannibalize themselves by shopping at Wal-Mart because it's -- well -- cheap, and they don't have much money to spend because their jobs were sent overseas or filled here by illegal immigrants.
And who do the Wal-Mart shoppers blame: Obama?
Sometimes you just can't buy stupid.
