Hey now, we’re trying to pump those numbers WAY up. We’re gonna do away with education, but we need to import smart people to do our work for us I guess. I’m sure some conservative somewhere will explain to me why these are both great things though.

There is demand for educated labor, but educated people vote more Liberal.

People on work visas are cheaper labor, and can't vote.
