Be careful what you wish for
Latina Lista, writing about the woes of Oklahomans faced with strict anti-immigrant laws, ran across this gem in the Daily Oklahoman:
I live here in Arizona where the infamous sheriff of Maricopa county has the” Immigration Fever” and his politics is beginning to hurt in the county pocketbook.
The illegals that were trying to get a work release and come here to work in the low paying sector has been run away. Now the Unions are sending people in to get these jobs, but they want two thirds of a higher salary. Maricopa county is now in financial trouble.
Well, doh! Non-documented laborers had to work for lower wages, and drove down incomes. Or so we were told. So, documented laborers, earning a real wage, are worse?.
The only “respectable” anti-immigration argument that was around was that somehow being an undocumented immigrant was costing the taxpayers money. I guess folks will just have to go back to their old nativist bleatings, and give up on attempts to sound like anything other than the idiots and racists they are.
