Yet the GOP refused to see the long term consequences of its quest for cheap labor. Much like Wall St., they couldn't (or wouldn't) see past the near term, which would yield easy profits. I suppose that this isn't surprising as the the two groups have a substantial overlap, so much so that the GOP candidate was a Wall St. corporate raider.

For a minute I felt like I was in a scene from Schindler's List. One of the earlier scenes that is.
