as I wrote on cougarboard.
It cuts through both parties.
Some dems think that there are votes to be had among poor hispanics. Certainly some truth to that.
Corporate repubs like the cheap labor. They are the ones who offer the argument "no one else will do these jobs." they forget to add the line "at minimum wage."
And a growing movement, lead by George Bush, to try to attract hispanics to the republican party.
So you see Bush walking a tight rope. His base wants immigration reform. But the corporate guys don't. And the big bosses don't want to alienate hispanics.
