I pointed out earlier that, according to the LA Times, Obama’s pandering to the illegal alien vote flopped in California because … illegal aliens can’t vote.
A reader demurs:
As regards the notion that Obama’s direct advocacy of driver’s licenses for illegal aliens 'flopped', you are right in every detail, but missed the big picture.
Obama was not aiming at 'hispanics'. Obama was aiming at the elites who lust after cheap labor over all other things. And it paid off big time. Money and favorable corporate press coverage is raining down on Obama, and Hilary is starting to run out of resources …
Why do you think the big money fell over itself to bring McCain back from the dead? Because McAmnesty will keep labor cheap.
Follow the money. The balance of supply and demand for labor is the dominant factor in setting wages and profits. I think Obama just outsmarted Hillary.
