I explained to the [Mexican] President that we share a mutual concern to make sure our border is secure. One way to make sure the border is secure is to have reasonable immigration policies.
A secure border . . . right. Bush’s immigration proposals have as much to do with creating a secure border as his timber industry deregulation has to do with creating “healthy forests,” or his polluter deregulation has to do with creating “clear skies.” Just another public relations oxymoron.
This immigration policy is about one thing: cheap labor for U.S. business. Don’t let the White House speech writers trick you into believing otherwise.
