Everyone was in love with the idea of having a squad of Mayans working for them on the cheap.

...looking for cheap labor Yes, that is the key. Of course nobody looking for work searches for low paying jobs, its just sometimes thats all thats available. Especially when there a lots of non-Merkins around willing to work for low pay. What Bush was really saying was that many in the USA like cheap labor. What I've noticed around here is that first it was field farm labor, then farm tractor/truck drivers, then lawn/landscaping, then construction grunt work, then concrete, sheet-rocking, roofing, and finally framing. Now lots of retail clerk jobs go to hispanic women, 'cause they are bilingual. Pretty shortly, there's a whole country Merkins don't want. LOL! All because cheap labor was so alluring...
