I've long wondered why the left in this country adamantly refuses to see the linkage between a tidal wave of unregulated, undocumented, and unskilled labor crossing our borders looking any work they can get...and the depressed wage scale at the low end of our labor market.
This is an area where right and left should make common cause. Their reasons may well be different, but who cares - each side sees a public good in supporting the move. That usually makes for good policy.
There'll be war, there'll be peace.But everything one day will cease.All the iron turned to rust;All the proud men turned to dust.And so all things, time will mend.So this song will end.
--Pink Floyd
