Tax Cuts for Who??

This is an excerpt from a news article by The Associated Press:

"In advance of his remarks, the White House said the jobs proposal would lower payroll taxes for about 25 million Hispanic workers and about 250,000 Hispanic-owned businesses, statistics cited by the president to argue his case. Moreover, the White House said the legislation could help the 344,000 Hispanics no longer working as carpenters or as construction laborers because of the recession."

OK - are Latino businesses the only ones in trouble??  What about the many struggling American-owned businesses?  Why do they not deserve the same consideration?

I find something seriously wrong with this picture.  I have no problem, as I have said before, with legal immigrants.  Please notice - I said "legal".  I do have a problem with illegal immigrants.  Come into our country legally - or stay out.  How many of these workers that are being referred to in this article are here legally?  What about the huge numbers of American workers who are out of work?

I find it appalling that the President of this country would give even a hint of the appearance that he is more concerned with any one segment of the population than any other.

What's your opinion?
