as a security issue.
Bush is going to have a very difficult time in the days ahead as this kind of news takes over the headlines. To satisfy the farmers, he has to push immigration reform that includes “guest workers”, something that doesn’t go down well with most neo-cons, making them angry. But the facts are this…Americans won’t do farm labor unless they are paid more. If paid more, the price of farm products can rise till they are no longer competitive with imported products. When that happens, the farmers will want tariff protection, which will ruin the plans for a free trade agreement. The rest of the world is angry. Product prices will rise and the consumer is angry…and red states will slowly but surely turn blue.
