There was a time not all that very long ago, when migrant workers from Mexico would come inti the US, earn a living working the fields, then return home until the next harvest season.

Somewhere along the way, we decided to stop this practice, but they still needed those jobs, and the employers here still wanted their labor.

Instead of doing the logical thing, and allowing the employer hire the willing employee, we created a situation where these people came, and stayed.

The Bush proposal addresses this, the willingness to do the work, and the desire to hire the employee.

With no regard for what American citizens want. Mexicans are elated. Americans (for the most part, from what I've seen) are opposed to this.

Just an observation.
