Immigration: The Long Term Approach?
I think I've figured out the administration's long term approach to the immigration issue and I'm impressed. Now stay with me:
The Energy Department is trying to force contractors away from guaranteed pensions in order to save money. The Congress is looking to block the plan. Now over the past twenty-five years or so, the idea that labor costs at all but the highest levels should be cut and re-cut has become business gospel and the Energy Department is merely jumping on the bandwagon. The trickle-down theory has proven to be a swollen-river up theory instead.
How does this reveal a crafty, subtle, and sure-fire immigration plan? Simple!
If we can only make the jobs here less desirable than those on the other side of the border by slashing wages and benefits and maybe even locking people in to work completely off the clock, then we can reverse the flow. I see massive numbers of Skips and Buffys (Buffies?) slipping over the border in search of a better life.
Perhaps it'll be the border with Canada where the government still seems to feel some obligation to the citizens as well as to business. How backward and quaint!
In either case, immigration problem solved. Crafty, guys, crafty.
