From the New York Times:
A Republican Platform Line Friendly to ImmigrantsBy JULIA PRESTON
It was no surprise that the Republicans declared their intention to strictly crack down on illegal immigration in their platform, which was released last week.
But one line was added to the text that went counter to the calls for strict employee verification and expanded action by states: It called for “a legal and reliable source of foreign labor where needed through a new guest worker program.”
And Brad Bailey, a Texas Republican who owns two seafood restaurants in suburbs of Houston, was satisfied to see it there.
Obviously, bringing in new guestworkers to hammer down the dishwashing wages of the current set of immigrants washing dishes in this guy’s Houston restaurants isn’t very friendly to immigrants now in the U.S., but who cares about them? The point of being "Friendly to Immigrants" is:
It’s a win-win proposition!
Also, the old bracero program that was shut down in the early 1960s after Edward R. Murrow’s "Harvest of Shame" documentary was at least close to all-male. Modern coed guest worker programs and the anchor baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment don’t mix, to say the least. But nobody ever thinks about the possibility that guest workers might have sex, which, according to science, has been known to sometimes lead to babies.
No sex, please, we're the New York Times and the GOP Platform Committee.
