re: Is corporate America slow playing Obama and the left with "open borders"?

What I find amazing is all the people on the left that support the influx of cheap labor.

That's because they see it as a crisis of compassion. They see these people as the huddled masses mentioned on the statue of liberty. We must let these people in to help them. They don't see illegals negatively impacting the lives of Americans at all because they never have to experience the negative consequences, they just get to feel in their hearts that their efforts "touched" someone's life.

But low wage workers (especially the Obama supporters)? They should be livid. Clearly they do not understand the consequences of their support for Obama's and corporate America's open borders policy.

Yep. It puts low-wage workers at a huge disadvantage because these illegals don't have to abide by minimum wage laws. They CAN work for less while everyone else can't. This means that people who ordinarily would work those jobs (poor whites and blacks, unskilled labor, teenagers, college students, druggies, people with criminal records, ect) can't get work and instead end up on public assistance or out of the labor force because they can't get those entry level jobs to move up.
