The GOP’s Losing Strategy

The GOP’s Losing Strategy
Now Boehner and the House leadership are pushing for an amnesty bill backed by President Barack Obama, Senate Democrats and, more importantly, Boehner’s U.S. Chamber of Commerce and corporatist handlers. The country currently has the lowest labor participation rate in 35 years. There are 1.5 million fewer Americans working today than in 2006, despite a population increase of 16 million people.
Yet the GOP establishment is advocating for a bill to bring millions of new workers into the country. GOP elites and party bosses claim an amnesty bill will make the Republican Party more attractive to Hispanics. Here’s what it will do (and the real reason they support it): It will provide corporations with a cheap labor pool, drive down wages and send more young people to the unemployment line and onto the government dole.
The GOP elite aren’t really interested in winning the Presidency, and they certainly aren’t interested in shrinking government. Their main aim is to run a crony protection racket and maintaining the fascist system of governance for as long as the money holds out. All other goals are secondary.
