I never was against a guest worker plan. I just think it makes sense to secure our borders FIRST before we (RINO's GWB and company) babble on about a Shamnesty program.


I'm gonna LAUGH when all these strawberry picker places and restaurants have to play LEGALLY and FAIR and pay SS and FICA to their "workers".....
All these scumbag employers who've been paying their illegals "off the books" will soon lose their advantage against LEGIT business owners. You'll see some REAL cryin' then as these dirt bags realize how damned hard it is to compete on an even playing field.

I do NOT however see a need for a guest worker plan to necessarily lead to citizenship.

The two do not necessarily have to be linked.

I say... you want a guest worker program? No problemo. First offense for hiring an illegal after it is implemented is a mandatory $25,000.00 fine. Second offense is $100,000.00 fine. Third offense is forfeiture of the business and mandatory 5 years in jail. Let's see how the lobbies REALLY like that....LOL

That might work if there was a plan that would allow the parents of the anchor babies to work.

Of the estimated 20 million illegals, I'll bet that 25% of that count are in fact anchor babies.

Build the fence, put national guard on the borders, and deal with jobs for the anchor babies parents.
