The only fault I find there is that the press has totally perverted the meaning of the word "immigrant". Otherwise, it seems a logical way to get the tens of thousands of produce pickers that we use each year.

It seems that the arguments against Bush are boiling down to:

"Bush does not mean what he himself is saying. Bush means what I say that he means."

Study counters beliefs about illegal immigrants (Only 3 percent work in agriculture

The original poster that I answered with that post had said that Bush's program was going to be about "Chinese and Indian programers and doctors".

In my Post 193, my point #1 was:

1. Establish what "guest workers" we actually need or do not need in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors.

My point #2 was:

2. Write the quotas of the law to reflect those needs.

My position still stands.

The process has not even been allowed to the point of the national debate about "What guest workers, both agricultural and non-agricultural, does the U.S. actually need?"

It only gets to the point of, "It's a horrible idea because it will let in Chinese programers" or "It will make U.S. citizens of all illegal immigrants" or, as stated earlier on this thread, "Only U.S. citizens should ever allowed to work in the U.S.".

Right now, we have total anarchy.

The Easter Bunny will get elected President before the U.S. Government gets tough and deports the so-called "immigrants who are trying to feed their poor families".

Them's the political facts of life in the United States of America in the 21st Century.

The one plan I have seen that addresses America's needs for some foreign workers while taking away the bleeding-heart liberal's sob-stories excuses about "poor immigrants trying to feed their familes" is Bush's Guest Worker Program coupled with penalties for those that violate it.
