RE: "And trying to get these people doing honest hard working jobs above ground isn't pushing illegal immigration, but trying to bring sanity to a system that has been out of whack for 40 years."

You are responding to a response to my post. In that post I asked, "are Americans going to be asked if they want those jobs the undocumented workers have held for years? I thought Americans had to be asked first then the search for 'willing workers' began."

Here I was referring to the "guest worker" plan that promises that Americans will be asked first before the ILLEGAL immigrant-cum-guest worker can be legally hired under the plan.

The "guest worker" plan may be fine (though unnecessary in my opinion) for temporary work but what about undocumented workers who have careers? Would you have the "guest worker" plan renege on the promise to ask Americans first?

Yeah, the American will be asked if he will accept a slaves wages sans benefits to fill a certain job. Of course no American will take it and it will be filled with an "illegal immigrant-cum-guest worker".
