<<However i would be interested in hearing your arguments in favor of allowing an onslaught of unskilled labor into the country. >>
Every one of them needs a pair of shoes on his feet. Their kids need shoes. They need a lot of stuff. And it can all be made in America.
Large-scale immigration will depress wages for unskilled and semi-skilled workers, just the ticket for bringing back the clothing and textile industries to America. Grow more cotton, sell more cotton. Get Americans out of the brokerage offices and into the cotton fields, where they belong. America was built by hard work, back-breaking labour, which gave the people a certain degree of common sense sorely lacking in today's generation of couch potatoes. You can sell a ruinously expensive foreign war to a generation raised on video-game violence, not to a generation that performs migrant farm labour in order to live. Who will need mechanical cotton pickers when real live ex-insurance-salesmen are available dirt cheap for the job?
