One Reason for the Administration’s Support for Immigration Reform?

Thanks to Carpetbaggerreport (here) for digging up this report from National Review’s Mark Krikorian:

According to a congressman’s wife who attended a Republican women’s luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president’s amnesty/open-borders proposal this way: “I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.”

Kirkorian finds this statement offensive.  I do too but for other reasons, I bet.
