PRESTOPUNDIT -- A Good Blog at a Great Price. Guaranteed.

The WSJ comes out solidly behind Bush's open borders plan, echoing the President's claim that there are "jobs that Americans don't want". Of course there are jobs that Americans don't want and there will be more and more jobs Americans won't want -- as foreign labor continues to drive down American wages. These are jobs Americans DID WANT at one time -- before their relative pay was beaten to the pavement by the tidal wave of cheap foreign labor. The "jobs Americans don't want" meme as an excuse for open border is nothing other than a self fulfilling prophecy -- and this self fulfilling prophecy will swallow up more and more of the American economy as relative low wage pressures overtake all of the non-degreed professions.
