For a good explanation of what the Pres. Bush "guest worker" plan would probably mean look at this:

THE PROBLEM WITH "ANY WILLING EMPLOYEE" IMMIGRATION REFORM
snip--
"
[T]he primary consideration as to how many guest workers might be admitted into the country appears to be the willingness of the employers and their foreign-born employees to match up the ability of the program "to fulfill the employers' needs."

As the President's position currently stands, that means that every new job created in America could be offered at minimum wage, and if no American can be found to accept the eroded wage, the job would be up for grabs to any foreign guest worker who's willing."

It's a race to the bottom. And gone for good will be the middle class.
