Speaking about Bush’s position in favor of amnesty/legalization of illegal immigrants, Karl Rove apparently justified it thusly:
“I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.”

You can grow tomatoes in Vegas?
I guess they stay there – how would we know?
No reason why he should have to, you know, work for a living.
He can sit on his fat ass and play Halo 2 like verybody else his age!
You kids get off my lawn!
Karl’s Junior is also automatically qualified for a high paying job within Iraq’s Green Zone.
Please explain the major difference between what Rove said and the phrase “jobs Americans won’t do”, something used by endless GOP and Democratic leaders.
And, please try to come to grips with the fact that there are only minor differences between what Bush wants on immigration and what the Democrats are more than willing to give him.
Perhaps if you can do that you’ll realize this is a bipartisan problem.
Bonus: the Democrats are collaborating with Mexican officials on immigration.
There is no discernable difference. They are both specious agruments.

OK, I will.
When somebody says: “They’re doing jobs Americans won’t do,” they’re saying immigrant workers are NOT taking jobs away from American citizens.
When Mr. Rove says: “I don’t want my son to pick tomatoes,” he’s saying that some work just isn’t fit for white people.
Close in literal meaning. Very different in context.
Be nice if the minimum wage was higher.
