Street corners full of arm-waving,
shouting, eager workers provide help
employers want when they want it.
No planning or paperwork required.

But illegals depress wages, and people
want laws enforced. Business prefers
making today’s mess legal. Practical
politicians side with their benefactors.

Bush’s “comprehensive immigration
reform” fell victim to public outcry,
but a crafty Congress chopped it into
pieces they can hide in other bills.

Of course they’re not likely to pass
any bills, but if they should, Bush
might pull his trusty new-found veto
pen from its scabbard and stab them.
