If we need more foreign workers, we can let in more LEGAL immigrants. Illegal alien lawbreakers shouldn't be rewarded in any way for violating our country's immigration laws.
That's what President Bush has been saying for at least ten years. Only his plan calls for temporary guest workers, not necessarily permanent residents.
S1033-HR2330 proposes the creation of two new visas, the H5A and H5B,
The H5B would be used to convert the qualified illegals into visa holders.
The H5A would be used to allow in future guest workers. The quota on H5A is 400,000 per year with a contingency phrase to allow another 80,000.
