The administration rolled out its top immigration officials and several senior Republican senators yesterday to endorse publicly a guest-worker program offered by President Bush that could give legal status to the 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens now in the United States.

assure greater homeland security

Now how will this assure greater homeland security?

Will these illegals all use legitimate ID's? No.

Will legitimizing these illegals stop more illegals from coming in? No.

[Lijahsbubbe]

One by one, the officials and the senators told the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, border security and citizenship that the Bush plan, outlined Jan. 7, would.... bring illegal aliens into the mainstream economy

This is actually listed as an objective. Unbelievable.

[Dolphy]

Sufficient resources to guarantee increased border security and interior enforcement, along with added penalties for employers who hire illegal aliens and for foreign nationals illegally in the country who do not work.

This is what it all comes down to for me. We will what they do with this.

Can we just shut the congress down till election day. They keep on passing this kind of crap and Bush will lose big in Nov. Not necessarily the dems have a good candidate but the conservatives are so p'eeved that they sit home and watch foxnews instead of going out to vote. What is wrong with Bush!

[George W. Bush]

Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, said America's borders would not be secure "until we supply willing employers with willing workers," while Sen. Larry E. Craig, Idaho Republican, said the "only way" to solve the nation's immigration problem was to "create a dynamic program that recognizes the need for foreign nationals to come to this country to work."

Looks like McStain and Craig are the only senators to sign off on the amnesty.

A guest-worker program for foreign nations in the United States who have temporary jobs, as long as they do not displace U.S. workers.

I'm glad to see them getting started on this proposal. If they're going to get the positive political impact, it has to be timed right for the elections.

[ovrtaxt]

positive political impact

You actually see a positive? I'd like to know what that is. Leftist mexicans on welfare aren't going to vote for Bush. They aren't.

[ClintonBeGone]

You actually see a positive? I'd like to know what that is.

A greater share of the hispanic vote.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts
Asa Hutchinson, undersecretary for border and transportation security for the Department of Homeland Security
Labor Department Deputy Secretary Steven Law
Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican
Sen. Larry E. Craig, Idaho Republican
Subcommittee chairman, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Georgia Republican
Eduardo Aguirre, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a branch of the Homeland Security Department

president's guest-worker proposal would "facilitate economic growth, enhance national security and promote compassion."
======================================================

Guys, Names of officials and the BLATANT LIE they are advocating. This proposal does the EXACT opposite of what the bottom line avers. ESPECIALLY the "compassionate" part. The proposal will create disharmony, bad feelings among workers, even hatred toward illegal workers and even all "hispanics" by some who see differences by skin shade. Compassion?? It might be a temporary feel good for the "elite", but "Promote compassion"{?}, NEVER. Peace and love, George.

One by one, the officials and the senators told the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, border security and citizenship that the Bush plan, outlined Jan. 7, would fix a broken immigration system, allow U.S. businesses to hire needed workers, bring illegal aliens into the mainstream economy and assure greater homeland security.

Bump!

[chris1]

You are joking right???

[ClintonBeGone]

You are joking right???

Absolutely not. Its all about winning elections. Why pass this program if Bush can't cash in on its benefits BEFORE election day? Were I him, I would be on every hispanic radio/tv station talking it up.
