The ironic thing is that most people (including me) wouldn't be against a guest worker program. The problem is that the current situation has to be rectified first.
If Bush would just enforce existing laws and stop the daily influx of thousands of illegals then most would give his guest worker program a shot.
For me, now the connotating of 'guest worker' is the same as 'amnesty' because the politicians have tried to hide the real intent. But a guestworker policy like you outlined earlier on this thread - or was it another one - would be fair and not reward criminal behavior. It's too bad the politicians can't see that.
