1. That makes no economic sense. By expanding the labor force, you drive wages down. That is the basic law of supply and demand.

2. What politician will have the guts to enact such legislation? As I understand, it is not part of the Bush proposal.

The labor force isn't being expanded in a guest worker program. The labor force didn't magically disappear in 1965; it simply went underground, into a black market.

You're trying to have it both ways again: you're claiming that politicians lack the guts to do what you want, and then state that what you want done is allegedly very popular. Which case obtains in reality?

Bush's proposal does not establish residency; it does not allow dependents into the country.
