"It's not jobs Americans don't want to do. These are wages and working conditions Americans don't want to accept," says Ira Melman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an opponent of lowering the barriers for undocumented workers.

Figured someone would focus on that nugget. Spoken like a true liberal union democrat, Mr Melman.

And what's wrong with Melman's comment? Do you want your children working in such unsafe conditions for such little money? I sure don't. The key to ending this exploitation is *NOT* to make it legal, but to end it. However, the sun will rise in the west before this adminstration does that. "Guest workers" will be just as exploitable as illegals, only *legally* exploitable - and with as many bad consequences for Americans working at blue-collar jobs.
