Well that was the argument the mass immigrationists gave back then, more legal visas would cut down on illegal entries. Kennedy's mind wasn't on the Mexicans so much but rather the illegal Irish population. Regardless illegal immigration exploded despite what was claimed would happen.
There's also a history of guest worker programs for Mexicans dating back to the 1940s and 50s. During that period millions entered illegally despite the legal opportunities. It wasn't until Eisenhower and Congress put their foot down and actually enforced the law that it stopped.
History has proven time and again it's wishful thinking to believe guest worker programs or increased visas will stop the invasion. Only enforcement of the law does that, something which hasn't occurred in the last 15 years.
Previously you ranted about somthing that Bush and Kennedy did with visas. Back it up with some facts. Some references
Now its braceros. You don't know when or why it started--when or why it ended. You don't know enough about it to link Operation Wetback to Maquilladoras or to link Maquilladoras to illegals.Back it up with some facts. Some refernces.
I explained to/corrected you guest worker reforms. You can read AgJobs or Cornyn's bill to confirm.
Like all the hate mexican crowd, your objective is to throw mis-info around. Anyone who wants to devote the time can shoot you down. I have done it numerous times on this thread.
The point being, Congress has the facts, and they will do what they need to do---reform the guest worker programs.
You may not like, but that is the way it is.
