This is only partially true. They also stand against the increasing the minimum wage, and half the party, the Bush half, is for importing illegal Mexicans to take jobs that poor blacks might otherwise get. In other words, exploiting the labor of the poorest and most powerless among us

I live in Niagara, we have orchards and vineyards and processing plants here. The workers arrive in February, March and april and leave in September October and November. Welfare is at it's highest ever. So why do farmers have to fly help in from mexico and Jamaica? Because no one wants the work, and it is cheaper to fly in workers, and pay them good wages, than to have welfare recipients who claim the work is demeaning. But you already knew that.
