"Matching "willing employer with employee" will mean the end of the middle class as we know it so Delay and the GOP better make their plans ahead of time to get future votes from all the guest workers they allow in."
Exactly! They're sure overestimating their ability to pull in our votes after the major screwing this "guest worker" program is shaping up to be for the American middle and working classes, aren't they? :)
Incidentally, have you been able to find ANY hard data regarding the number of "guest workers" the President's program is supposed to allow into the country every year? Have you been able to find out ANYTHING about how he's intending to enforce the "hire Americans first" caveat of his proposal? Or how he proposes getting these "guest workers" to leave once their time limit is up? I sure haven't seen anything about that in any of the articles I've read regarding his "guest worker" proposal.
Sounds like a pig in a poke to me.
Hi EagleMama a few months back I did see on CSPAN a rep from the Bush administration who stated the program would be open to every sector of the economy. And just the idea of a job opening meant the employer needed a willing employee, which translates into filling that job with a foreigner if necessary.
So my impression was no numerical limit would be placed on the number of guest workers who could be brought in. At least H1-b does a have cap, though that's no comfort to the thousands of tech workers who have been displaced.
