with making this an issue. I wonder if Latino & other voters will fall for it.. or puke at the tribalism created at a time when Latinos should be integrated. But I think the pay-off is in having the ability to boot immigrants out of the country..even if they have been there for a generation and have a family. Under the guise of crime.. it really would serve business to have the ability to kick out people under "guest worker" clauses. That way.. business gets cheap labour from "un-americans" and their long term desire for stock market ROAR without interfearance from the inflation causes by aggregate wage rises in the middle class will not stop their market with the currently required mini-recessions used to fight inflation.

By tribalizing the middle class into "heres" and "not really heres" then you can keep the markets roaring. And the workers.. or at least Latino workers or other immigrants..do the work of fighting inflation.
