President Bush knows the game: Many illegal aliens don’t even earn minimum wage
Bill O’Reilly’s interview with president George W. Bush once again confirmed that the president simply doesn’t care about guarding the border. The reason is obvious: Corporate America likes its labor cheap, and illegal alien Mexicans are just that. So the president trotted out his old lame-o “family values don’t stop at the border” mantra. Neither does Mexico, apparently.
But all of that is old hat. What was eye-popping was how casually the president acknowledged that the illegal aliens depress wages. In interior Mexico, Dubya explained, a Mexican makes 50 cents an hour. In America he can make $5. So there’s just no way to keep the hordes of uneducated Mexicans out.
Somebody might want to point out to the King of Crawford that minimum wage in the U.S. is actually $5.15. Apart from that, at five bucks an hour, you’re going to be eligble for just about every form of public assistance there is, including free health care. Bush’s immigration policy not only endangers Americans, it also expands poverty. As they say in the Guinness commercials: Brilliant!
