Until 1965, we had a guest worker program. It was killed by the Johnson Administration to pay off the AFL-CIO.

Until 1965, we had a very small illegal immigration problem. After 1965, we had a HUGE illegal immigration problem.

I submit that the two are a study in cause and effect.

Alot of stuff happened in '65, so finding cause & effect might not be that simple.

I think something modeled on the old Bracero program is appropriate. But from what I've heard of it, what GW is proposing far exceeds that.

There may be some relationship between the two, but to suggest this is the single cause and effect seems a bit simplistic. The internal deterioration of Mexico is another factor. The meteoric rise of the American economy and subsequent prosperity since 1965 is another. Parallel to that, the propensity to break/ignore/generally question law/authority among our people contributes to an atmosphere of acceptance of hiring illegals.

I think there are many contributing factors.

The two have nothing to do with each other. Ted Kennedy is the culprit.
