The Raw Story | Tom DeLay tells College Republicans that abortion, illegal immigration are linked

"I contend [abortion] affects you in immigration," DeLay told the Washington-area gathering. "If we had those 40 million children that were killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn't need the illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that they are doing today. Think about it."

So... abortion is really about the poor's failure to breed an underclass willing to do menial labor? Even the language - "If we had those 40 million children..." belies a feeling of ownership, as if Delay and his Republican colleagues are entitled to a workforce ready and willing to support their wealth and power. Of course, the Republican's do feel entitled as white christians to sit atop the global food chain and decide who should be allowed to do what. Its just rare to hear it so plainly stated without all the confusing rhetoric that is reserved for less sympathetic audiences.
