No. The immigrant has TEMPORARY legal status as an alien working in the US. They don't get citizenship or even a green card.

If Bush won't deport illegal aliens do you really believe that he will deport "guest workers" when their time is up?

It is pretty much the same deal as 86, in 86 illegals were not granting citizenship, they were given the change to get documented and go thru the process. Also as in 86 the public was promised that strict enforcement of the laws would follow. Of course the enforcement never happened, as many millions more invaded. So yea, it's the same crap. The 86 deal only encouraged more to come, this deal will do the same.

Why in the world, when in the middle of jobless economy would anyone propose flooding the USA with cheap labor?
