What also hasn't helped it Specter coming out with a very lax immigration proposal...with liberal "guest worker" provisions...

Which Bush might like, but since the "base" are not big fans of Specter or the guest worker program...it will hurt more than help..

I blame the Republicans in Congress for escalating the hoo-ha over the ports issue....THEY are ones that made the process what it is....but now are blaming Bush for playing by the rules they set up....cowards.

As things now stand, the president's hopes rest with the Senate. His strategy is to get senators to include a modest guest worker program in their bill--a program that could be expanded later.

Specter is slime.

You can blame Copngress, but only person has the bully pulpit and chooses not to use. I have never understood why this administration is so adamant that the media should be the ones to lead the countries thoughts on every issue. I never thouight the Iraq War was a failure, but the WH's PR about the War was a failure. He never wants to present the facts that would portray his decisions in a good light. It's almost masochistic. Karl Rove is probably the dumbest policitcal adviser in history.

I think this Specter legislation should be stopped now.

We need to take a very close look at our H1 and J visa programs.

Big business is driving this increase in H1 immigration for money purposes only.

Let Americas security be damned.

Some countries are totally dominating the H1 programs.

Does anyone have any figures on where the H1 immigrants are coming from.

If we don't have enough engineers and scientists then turn some of these socialists liberal arts schools into true universities teaching science and math.

I would start with Bezerkely.
