The "Gold Card." Sounds like these people have perfect credit and are big business people.

And we wonder why Bush camapgined for Spector???????

[Ben Ficklin]

Fiest off, Specter's draft legislation which calls for the illegals to get a visa that is renewable infinitely is at odds with the Bush Plan which would limit the visa to a 3 year term that can be renewed once.

Second, one of the criteria used in evaluating a guest worker plan is how does it compare to the European guest worker program. Specter's plan, like the European Plan, creates a permanent underclass with no chance of assimilation.

Third, Specter stated last Nov when he released his first draft that he didn't necessarily agree with everything in his own bill, it was there only to initiate discussion. In fact, Specter, who owes his existence to the union, supports McKennedy.
