News Flash: GOP concerned about immigrant fiberglass sprayers

Aww, the heartfelt concern over the disasterous effects of closing the sloophole:

When Republicans killed a recent effort to close a loophole on luxury boats, recreational vehicles and planes, they argued that a tax change would chase away working-class jobs.

"The immigrant who sprays fiberglass on a boat will lose his job. The small-business owner who installs avionics on an airplane will lose his business," state Sen. Dennis Hollingsworth of Temecula told GOP members during a Feb. 15 floor debate. "Those are the people who are going to be affected by this. It's not the rich."
