The Obama supporting Campaign for America's Future ran this headline today on their website:
"Rubio Moves Left On Immigration"
Now, really; does anyone believe that even though Marco Rubio may be
re-framing the issue of immigration in order to get votes that he is
moving "left?"
This proves that both the Democrats and Republicans on every single issue are only concerned with framing issues in a
demagogic way in order to get votes because when it comes to actually
creating legislation and casting votes for legislation the only thing
that ends up standing--- no matter what any of these politicians have
said--- is what serves Wall Street's interest in maximizing profits.
Marco Rubio, just like Obama, is your typical demagogue.
Both are political leaders who seeks support by appealing to popular
desires no matter how anti-labor, racist and reactionary, and the most
vile and bigoted prejudices rather than using rational argument.
What would a rational working class perspective be in relation to immigration?
The answer is very simple:
Labor should have the same easy right in crossing borders that is extended to capital.
Why should the rights of workers in seeking a better life be curtailed when the "right" of capital to profit roams free?
And the only reason most working people even contemplate leaving their
home countries is because Wall Street's drive for maximum profits has
treated them like dog shit on their high-priced fancy shoes---
exploiting and repressing them.
The mainstream media has
peddled the most fantastic lies misrepresenting both the typical middle
class living standards and the biggest lie of all about how "free" we
are in this country.
And now we are supposed to resent our fellow workers who are only seeking what we want: a decent life.
And for this we are supposed to view our fellow workers--- but not free
roaming capital, which we are supposed to ignore along with its
rapacious barbaric consequences--- as criminals.
