Sensenbrenner and the like represent a minority of Republicans, and they do not represent the wealthy.

There will be no huge "crackdown" on "illegals". the Republicans are making and saving too much money by using them. There will be a few symbolic raids and roundups to pacify the ultra-fascists, but mostly, things will stay the same. The guest worker program might go into effect if bush can swing it. This will create yet another class of working poor, and serve to better keep working people divided.

The goal of the wealthy is to maintain and strengthen their position. Keeping working people divided is a very important part of that. The other key element is the cheap house labor and construction labor.

With so many mexicans willing to kiss the asses of the wealthy, and stick it to each other, stick it to working blacks, and stick it to working whites, this situation will continue for a very long time.

The republicans and wealthy democrats and the mexican immigrants are in a love affair. If you've never been on a job site in a wealthy community, you'd never be able to see this.

The sooner working people find areas of agreement and begin acting on them, the sooner the situation will improve. There is not an atmosphere of trust and unity among working people, and whites and blacks are not the only ones to blame. There is hostility and other untoward behavior directed at whites and blacks that comes from Mexican workers, as well as vice-versa.

If it is some kind of race war that people are trying to create, then things are going on the right track. That would be a stupid move though, because Caucasians have more perfected the crafts of weaponry, metallurgy, and chemistry, not to mention the other sciences, so trying to take them on is pretty shortsighted and foolish.

Creating false friendships with the wealthy to get their feet in the door so to speak, the Mexican strategy has walked into a trap they will not escape.

The best move would be to reach out to other working people, hopefully, it's not too late.
