The foreign press is a breath of fresh air when it comes to exposing the shenanigans of our corporatist reign:
Like Bengal’s main ruling party, which legalised illegal migrants from Bangladesh, Bush yesterday announced steps which would make the presence of at least eight million illegal aliens in the US legal.
....
Conservative opinion makers have already expressed fears that the amnesty will encourage even more Latinos to sneak into the US without papers. The favours announced yesterday will apply only to undocumented workers, that is, those who came without passports and will not cover an Indian, for instance, who overstayed his visa.
Political aides to Bush calculate that conservatives will not, however, defect to his Democratic rival, more so if Howard Dean, who is being portrayed as a Leftist, is the nominee of the Opposition. One group which has expressed joy over the new programme are the employers. As past amnesties and similar measures have shown, they will be able to drive down wages and hold alien workers hostage to the promise of permanent residence.
