American Apparel On Immigration
Leaving their cozy nook of bare legged models garnered in high-striped tube socked, panties and a t-shirt, American Apparel uses immigration within their ads:"At American Apparel, we agreed with the President's call for immigration reform, so why has nothing been done for the last three years? ....It's time to give a voice to the voiceless. Businesses are afraid to speak to the media about immigration, frightened of reprisals by government agencies.... At what point are we going to recognize that the status quo amounts to an apartheid system? At what point will America stop living in a state of denial?"
Edgy? Ballsy? Sick of the status quo? I think they have done more here than Congress has done in the past few years.
Mas.

About this Entry
Of course, American Apparel is profiting hugely by exploiting illegal immigrant labor. God forbid they should try to hire Americans. If their business rationale is based on cheap illegal labor, I hope they go under.
Apartheid? Give me a break. They came voluntarily knowing they were breaking the law. Many paid smugglers to avoid Border Patrol. They were not invited.
With a recession on the horizon, don't expect Congress to pass amnesty anytime soon. Especially since the enforcement measures are beginning to work (such as in Arizona), our politicians can no longer try to dupe us into accepting that amnesty is the only practical solution.
