President Bush, I have respect for the office of the Presidency but may I say clearly.......NO guest worker program OR may I be a guest taxpayer? (heard that on a talking head show)

Pass the Bill Senate passed please!

Thank you, an American Taxpayer

>>>> ... some Republicans view the guest-worker plan as a back-door amnesty for illegal immigrants and prefer an approach that focuses solely on toughening border security and cracking down on illegal immigration.

Backdoor amnesty it is.

Secure our borders;punish employers who hire illegals;stop all welfare to illegals

A guest worker program amounts two things: a reward for those break the laws of our country and a benefit for big business whose costs have to borne by the rest of society. We have to ask ourselves if we want to reduce our standard of living, contribute to disappearance of our middle class and endanger our national sovereignty all to make the Chamber Of Commerce happy. Now, I'm in favor of the free market as much as conservatives do but when it comes to a guest worker proposal - which is really a form of amnesty for illegal aliens in disguise - for me national security trumps considerations of profitability. We impose costs on business for all kinds of extraneous reasons. And in my book, securing control over our borders is not one of them - its about the very survival of our nation. So for this one reason alone, I'm opposed to amnesty no matter what President Bush and the politicians decide to call it.

I am getting tired of Bush saying that the Mexicans are doing jobs that Americans don't want to do. I find his comment insulting. Who was building houses, doing landscaping, and other manual labor jobs not to many years ago? It was Americans. Unfortunatly most of the employers who hire them do not pass on their bottom line savings to the consumer. Where I live housing prices have sky rocketed and most of the laborers on the job site are Hispanic.

While the illegals protest in Californis and Arizona this would be the perfect time to round them up and ship them back.

PRAY for the defeat of Bush on this issue.

Pray that no bill reaches his eager pen that will allow him to pour more of the third world and its maladies into our only homeland.

the big problem wit ha guest worker program is who says the "workers" will come from mexico, central america oe even latin america??

if a constuction company has to pay an american $20 per hour and can pay a mexican $12-$13 per hour, why not hire moroccans or algerians for $6?

peopel fear a guest work program will result in a influx of mexicans...i fear much worse

Dubya, the senators that vote for your amnesty plan will risk losing their cushy job this November.
