"I applaud the president for addressing this complex and important issue but I have sincere reservations about allowing illegal immigrants into a U.S. guest worker program, because it has the potential to reward illegal behavior and I am skeptical that it constitutes sound public policy," said DeLay, R-Sugar Land."

Actually, as long as the Illegals don't become citizens (And then vote Democrat) I can live with this program.

I won't be ecstatic over it, but it won't be the end of the world.

I'm glad you can live with that because you'll still be paying for the social services they'll continue sucking up like a Hoover.

I can live with it, but only if it is matched with border security. Having the same guy apply every three years because he snuck across the border would be a bitter pill, and I've yet to hear any thoughts on how someone's family would be affected. Two concerns that I want to hear addressed.

The last immigration change was four years in the making.(1986)

I am for the general guidlines, but Delay is signaling a need for more teeth in the reform. I expect a long period of arguement, but in the end, Delay will have his way.

I can definately go with that and I believe others will as well.

This program would (if passed and enforced with teeth), finally get some control of illegal immigration and the people that hire them.

This is what is important.

I hope you can live with all their anchor babies too.

White collar jobs will be slaughtered. It has already happened in high tech from the H1B program. Now, instead of the H1Bs system, these workers will fall under this new program and will be able to come in unlimited numbers.....

All an American company has to do is set the wage so low, that no American could take the job, hence criteria fullfilled, foreign worker hired at 60% of the normal wage rate...

[Pubbie]

Well yes they will continue to soak up Welfare programs, but I don't want the Democrats to come back to power and be in charge of the War on Terror.

[dagnabbit]

No kidding. This has been quite a depressing day. I'm heartened, however, by the fury erupting on talk radio and on FR. We've got to make sure Congress catches that fury, and for what it's worth, the White House does too.

1. Contact your congressman and Senator.
2. Vote for or write in a non-Bush candidate in your State's GOP primary or caucus.

"I won't be ecstatic over it, but it won't be the end of the world."..it very well may be the end of the world as you know it ..(not to quote REM)

[Pubbie]

I agree, they should step up Border Patrol agents big time, and then reduce Legal Immigration to 300,000 per year in exchange for the Temporary worker program.

[Zipporah]

"but only if it is matched with border security"..what did the previous amnesties bring us? More security? No~ it brought more illegals.

[Zipporah]

"I hope you can live with all their anchor babies too.".. not to mention family reunification.......

[joesbucks]

Delay has postured, but will ultimately cave in.

[Pubbie]

The 86 Amnesty gave citizenship to illegal immigrants - this one will mean they can't get citizenship without waiting Decades due to the backlog for Green cards.

That's good news to hear that Delay is against rewarding illegal aliens, he's got a lot of say in the legislative process.

Btw I noticed with Bush today were Larry Craig, Flake and that buckethead Chris Cannon. The three pander bears, never saw an illegal alien they didn't like. I just wonder if they forgot who they were elected to represent?

When Cornyn said this I emailed, called and wrote a
letter about criminal invaders.
I received no reply.
