There's a dense Bush in Washington in which even more illegals will shortly be seeking to hide.
"If an employer has a job that no American is willing to take, we need to find a way to fill that demand by matching willing employers with willing workers from foreign countries on a temporary and legal basis."
Wrong.
If America indeed lacks the workpool to provide needed labor, its best corrected by raising the immigration quotas across the board and allowing into America people who want to become American citizens, learn to speak ENGLISH, and adopt to American culture - not a group of marginalized, exploited peasants whose sole concern is to send money back to foreign ratholes, force us to speak their language and adopt their culture, and who will owe no allegiance to America.
The "gueast worker" program sounds like a form of economic slavery which would create a permanent growing underclass of disgruntled, exploited subversives.
And since most of what we buy is made in China these days, I'd be really interested in what industries Mr. Bush feels need these peasants and why he is so concerned about them.
I might be more effective as a lagniappe, for the Bush administration to show more interest in enforcing existing laws, particularly vis a vis employers, in order to demonstrate that any quid pro quo for what Bush wants, is attended by some real program to staunch the illegal flow that will be enforced. Putting laws on the books that are not enforced, is akin to not putting them on the books at all.
Weasel words from the dishonest little man we have in the White House.
He has to clamp down on illegal immigration and prove a solution to the problem, including remedies and punishments and enforcements of our existing laws, much moreso new ones to come, BEFORE he can 'sell' his idea of "a guest worker program."
Otherwise, it's just whistling but it sure isn't Dixie.
Oh please....does anyone really believe this??
LOL!
Fill that demand by raising the salaries, not keeping them artifically deflated due to third world workers coming into this country illegally to do them. The best way to protect America, is to defend our borders, lower taxes, and protect American jobs. Why should we protect American jobs, becasue if Americans can't make a decent living then what exactly are we protecting in America? What are we fighting terror for when unpatriotic companies will just outsource your job if you are not willing to work for slave wages?
