Subject: RE: BS: Western Democracy's Achilles Heel
Where did they find jurors who were that stupid?

          As far as political elements who want to see these illegal aliens become citizens, so far this discussion has completely ingnored the other side, La Raza (the race), Lulac, the Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund (MALDF), the Souther Poverty Law Center (which never made any sense to me) and the more militant groups like The Nation of Aztlan.

          These groups want to increase their political base for the sole purpose of bringing more power to themselves. The George W. Bushites simply want an endless supply of cheap labor, while at the same time bringing down the value of traditional American labor.

          Left leaning political groups think they will develop into allies like Lorreta Sanchez, who herself would probably join the militants if their numbers increased.

          As far as the economic inflation element of the whole thing, I think it's greatly overblown. There were people lined up to take the jobs left by the people who were deported after the Swift raids, and the last time I was in Fresno, CA, there was a firm that sole grape harvesting machines that was going out of business. Nobody would buy them because the value of labor was just too cheap.
