Obama's "Chicken or Egg" Immigration Policy

FOCUS IS IN EMPLOYERS HIRING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WORKER


The Obama administration has been criticized for its alleged lack of action on the immigration front.  Republicans has accused the president of playing politics when it comes to the tens of millions of illegal immigrants in this country.  The race is on for the Democrats to find a way to make democrats out of them...Republicans can count, and they would rather have them on the first bus back to Tijuana....

However, Obama's ICE is a lot colder than President Bush's ever was.

For now, the Obama administration is focusing on prosecuting employers who hire illegal immigrants.  The illegal immigrants themselves were the target of the Bush immigration policy.

The question for the day is which comes first--the employer's interest in securing low cost workers, or does the availability of low cost immigrant work lead to the work itself?

Take a look at this piece in the New York Times, and let us know where you stand:
