Bush "Gold Card" would let open borders to cheap labor
Stein Report ^ | March 6, 2006 | Dan Stein

Posted on 03/06/2006 8:26:39 PM PST by lonewacko_dot_com

...The Stein Report has learned of an secret briefing for Senate staffers by the Bush administration today. In a move to build support for Bush's guest worker amnesty plan, administration officials talked about how they would actually implement the program. Jaws dropped as the administration reps explained the centerpiece of the program, a "Gold Card" that would enable illegal aliens to enter the U.S. at will, and work at any job with no labor market or other tests needed but would deny them citizenship. "Gold Card" would be valid forever, similar to current "Green Cards" but illegal aliens holding a "Gold Card" would not be able to adjust their status through naturalization...

Note that as described the card doesn't entitle them to stay here indefinitely. While there's no independent confirmation of this report, FAIR is in close contact with Congress about this issue.

For the odious, un-American details of the first version of Bush's "guest" worker scheme, see this.

Please contact your Senators and stress your opposition to any form of amnesty or "guest" worker scheme.

If anyone reading this wants to work for less money or lose their jobs, this is a good plan for them.

Yeah, no doubt about that (sarc). All they would have to do is have a few kids. I can't believe Bush is so incredibly tone deaf on this issue. He's really acting like someone who doesn't care what actual citizens think or want.

There is another thread talking of this, and it's a Specter proposal and has nothing to do with Bush.

Not only tone deaf, but he must think everybody outside the beltway is a drooling idiot.

The first thought of course is Mexican labor coming here to do farm work, or your gardening.

It doesn't say from what country the illegals would be allowed or their level of education, it in fact says "work at any job", which could be educated whoever from wherever working in tech fields for example.

Note that as described the card doesn't entitle them to stay here indefinitely.

And what praytell would happen if they simply decided that the trip back and forth over the border simply became "too tedious" for them and they simply decided to buy a home here?

At last check, for all intents and purposes we haven't been kicking anyone out in any large quantities either. Not to mention, lawyers will be all over this to the extent that they may as well be citizens. There'd be all kinds of pushes for rights that they'd have as citizens.

I'm not sure that W sees the current state of the borders as any threat to the US in any one of several ways.

Is there any way to send the Republicans out to the desert for a few years without letting the Dems in charge? They need a period of fasting and repentance.
