The "guest worker program" is far worse than an amnesty.

The US had the Bracero program, and Germany had Gastarbeiters (guestworkers).

Worked fine. Everybody recognizes it as temporary. These programs followed a rule of law, and brought order to matters.

The system now is not enforced, everybody gives it a wink and a nod.

For more decades than any of us have lived, workers have come from Mexico to the US.

I prefer order and lawfulness, to the present situation. And I believe Bush is trying to start down that path.

Sure I can remember when I was a kid, most people in my home town spoke Spanish, and we had ballots in 12 languages. </sarcasm>
