Oh by the way. Rush has been against Guest Worker from Day one. As usual your political bigotry is only exceeded by your rabid ignorance. I suggest you go start you own thread if you cannot stay on topic.

Tony Snow was giving us a hard time about a fence. He asked Dick Cheney what he thought and Cheney said basically, "we need it where it makes sense", a bit PC but you get the idea, it was "anything" but ruled out. I really think it will be tough to get the feds to pass a truly tough immigration law. They only pass stuff that gets them more votes. In the future my guess is we will be looking at more and more local immigration enforcement.

Here's a much quoted supposedly anti-guest worker statement by Rush...

RUSH: …they want to turn illegals into legal with a stroke of the pen and with a program. But to become a legal immigrant in this country you've got to go through a process, and these people are not, and we're going to just waive that process and we're doing it on the basis, "Ah, so many here we couldn't take backward steps on it anyway."

The next part of the call restored my faith in my dearly-loved Rush. He said:

"Okay, even if you have an amnesty program, at some point, whether you call it that or not—guest worker program, whatever you want to call it—at some point we're going to have to start enforcing all of this so that the immigrants that do get in here are legal, even the ones that end up working for you."

There you have it, what passes for a Rush condemnation of "guest worker" from early 2005.

At best he praises "guest worker" with faint condemnation.

At worst when he says they must "go through a process" what he means is a "guest worker" program.

The enforcement first line does not entirely cover for his soft sell of "guest worker".

And how many times has Rush helped sell "guest worker" by saying "These are jobs Americans won't do"?

Answer, too many times to count.

He's put this "guest worker" selling guest host on in his place.

Why did he put him on, if not to sell "guest worker"?

Please point out any other anti-guest worker statements by Rush, cause I'm not seeing them.

What I'm seeing is double talk to disguise and make more palatable his support for the program.
