! Viva Latinos !
Hey Folks,
George Will is an aristocratic twit and in desperate need of a thrashing, but he did us a service in his column today, inadvertently betraying the true nature of the “immigration problem.”
The “problem” as I’ve been saying for years is that the few who benefit from abusing the rest of us have run into themselves – something that happens when you work both sides of the street and talk out of both sides of your mouth.
One priority of the ruling class is to keep us under control, to keep us divided, to keep us distracted, to keep us isolated by selfishness. Racism has always been a helpful tool in this regard; hence prejudice and scapegoating (of Latinos in this case) is to be encouraged.
Another priority of the swells, however, is the degradation of the status of workers, thereby increasing profits for the non-working class. Illegal immigration has always been a helpful tool in this regard; hence real steps to stop such immigration aren’t taken.
For years, politicians have ranted against “illegal immigration” while laughing all the way to the bank. Now, for a number of reasons, the train racing North and the train racing South have smashed into one another, aggravating ruling twits like Will.
Presently the government is working overtime to solve the problem – not the problem faced by hard-working Latinos, not the “problem” imagined by xenophobic Americans, but the control/profit problem of the ruling class.
Will urges “unlimited immigration by educated persons with math, engineering, technology or science skills.” Why? There is no shortage in these areas. What Will and his ilk are after is a SURPLUSS, so that the wages of even these highly educated professionals can be suppressed, thus increasing profits.
As for the less-educated, Will favors “a guest-worker program to supply what the U.S. economy demands: immigrant labor for entry-level jobs.” Yeah, let ‘em in to do the ever-increasing number of shit jobs, but don’t let them stay and move up the ladder.
So, Will has a start on untangling the wrecked loco-motives. With his sly plan, nothing important really changes. The xenophobes can back off – "we’ve put those wet-backs on notice." And the entremanures can celebrate too – cheap, exploitable labor will be not only still available, but actually encouraged.
It’s “win-win” – nobody loses. Except for millions of Latino Americans.
As to any ridiculous objection these folks might make, Will says, “Large rallies of immigrants . . . reveal that many immigrant have, alas, assimilated: They have acquired the entitlement mentality spawned by America’s welfare state, asserting an entitlement to exemption from the laws of the society they invited themselves into.”
Stupid immigrants. Who do they think they are, the “unitary executive,” George Bush? They can't make "signing statements"! And where do they get the notion that in the U.S.of A. anyone is entitled to protest injustice? George Will’s government isn’t here to create injustice; the government is here to preserve injustice.
Well, Senor Will es un pendejo.
Power to the people! However they got here.
