Jorge Bush Trying To Shore Up His Dynasty's Base

But not without justified acrimony.

The Republican opponents of this amnesty are conservatives, and therefore not capitalists. They need to face up to this fact, not least so that they can rejoice in it. There cannot be a "free" market in goods, services and capital but not in labour; or vice versa. Nor can such a market be constrained by the rule of law, including any law protecting unions, or guaranteeing minumum standards generally. Furthermore, those Americans who will suffer most are African-Americans.

On the language question, where is the sizeable body of today's Americans speaking German or Italian? Where in the US are there street signs in German or Italian as well as in English? Why should the Hispanics be any different?
