Guest worker programs sound good, but they only compound the already serious troubles that illegal immigration causes. We should hesitate before we leap.

Why leap at all? This is what they want us to do now? Hold our noses, close our eyes and leap. Why?

9. A guest worker program involves processing millions of applications, enforcing many more laws and regulations and monitoring thousands of employers. Doesn't this simply create another huge and expensive bureaucracy?

Well first he chastises businesses for hiring the best workers they can find and says they should have to become less competitive, then says the same beauacracy to monitor the "evil" businesses is going to be to expensive.

5. Why wouldn't a guest worker program be an open invitation to potential terrorists? They could enter the country legally, get a job and use the program as cover.

I guess he has never heard of homegrown American, ward churchill, who gets $90,000 a year tp promote his rabid and violent anti-Americanism.

4. Nearly every study shows that competition from cheap foreign labor displaces American workers, including legal immigrants, or depresses their wages. Rather than legalize illegal entrants, why not increase wages and make these jobs more attractive to American workers?

With a question like this he could work for the German government. It appears as if someone was smoking dope or out drinking when others were in Economics 101.

Common sense here from CongressCritter Lamar Smith. Who is one of the fine principled conservatives in DC (District of Criminals)

Guest worker programs sound good,

No they don't. Guest worker programs are an abomination any way you look at them. The only people who seem to like them are President Bush, Vicente Fox and a handful of unscrupulous business owners (who make large contributions to both parties).

I would wager that 99% of Americans (including many immigrants) do not want a guest worker program, yet Bush continues to try and sell us one.

Hillary's going to jump on this issue!

it's going to be interesting to see what senator cornyn comes up with.

I bet the number of illegals already here is closer to twenty million. Ooops. I meant to say, 'trusted travelers'.

There is a thread wherein it is said BUSH is part of the problem and has been covering up. Amnesty, AKA Guest Workers only encourages more illegals.

Bush opened his mouth about the insensitive stamps so he knows what is going on in Mexico. Yet he says nothing about the illegals.

One poster said he is loosing the faithful - I think he has lost a lot of people for the 06 elections. He can turn me around by doing something positive Try anti abortion stance, appoint conservative judges, close the border - the rest of the political stuff is just crap to me..
