If this language isn't removed those who support true enforcement ought to just vote to kill the bill.

How about lobby to reverse the text. Change it to state until the illegal aliens are out and the southern border is closed there will NEVER be a "guest worker" system. And have it include the H1-B sham as well.

"How about lobby to reverse the text?"

Conversely, you have people like Terry McAuliffe who will lobby to keep the "guest workers" program.

From "Do As I Say" by Peter Schweizer:

"Watching television one night, I saw Terry McAuliffe, then chairman of the Democratic National Committee, expounding on the importance of labor unions as an essential check on corporate power and to guarantee a living wage for American workers. Living in Florida, I knew that McAuliffe had been in the homebuilding business around Orlando. Did he use union labor when he was chairman of Orlando-based American Heritage Homes? A quick call to the Carpenter's and Lather's Local No. 1765 revealed that McAuliffe was using "cheap immigrant labor" instead of union employees, paying them six to seven dollars an hour. The Florida Building and Construction Trades Council confirmed that under McAuliffe, there was "little or no union relationship" with American Heritage Homes. (This is a double slap to organized labor: In addition to championing unions, McAuliffe has made millions over the years through business dealings with union pension funds -- unions who members he himself would not hire.)
