The administration is quietly relaxing visa regulations because farmworkers are in critically short supply.
"It is important for the farm sector to have access to labor to stay competitive," said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel. "As the southern border has tightened, some producers have a more difficult time finding a workforce, and that is a factor of what is going on today."
The administration has pursued the project discreetly. The issue of immigration has generated friction between President Bush and the conservative wing of the Republican Party, which has strongly opposed many of the initiatives that Bush has pursued.
Go read the rest.
Shorter: The agricultural and other industries have told the Chimp to get more little brown people up here pronto lest the bottom line rots in the fields.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: the closest Bush has come to getting something right was his immigration proposals. The ones for Meskins, that is. Most of his immigration policies, like the one for displaced Iraqis, suck. The irony is that his xenophobic, pants-wetting, racist, drooling retard base wouldn't hear of it. Someone should tell them that the real terrorists come into the country on airliners, and the best dope comes from California or Afghanistan.
Money talks and bullshit walks. Now that the money has spoken, things are happening.
