I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.

Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

Temporary worker = BS!

[Dr. Ed Bravo]

Borders should have been secure on 9/12. BINGO!

Period, dot!

[spectre]

"for jobs Americans are not doing"...I just barfed!

[Junior_G]

Mexico is not our friend. We are shackled to an ungrateful corpse

LOL!!!

Uh-oh...now he's talking about the hard workers that trek across miles of desert to work in America...and the need for a guest worker program. PUKE. "JOBS THAT AMERICANS ARE NOT DOING" Double-puke

[Michael Goldsberry]

Aww, crud. Now he's talking about my kid's job at Pizza Hut.

"The reality is that there are many people across our borders who will do anything to come here to make a better life."

"walls and barriers will not stop"

Now here's pushing the "guest worker" scam. Changed the canard from "jobs Americans won't do" to "jobs Americans aren't doing." Says that workers must go home at the end of their temporary stay.

This is a little easier to stomach. I'll have to see the details.

Ah here it comes...the temporary worker program, heh W, what about H1B H2B,..jobs americans won't do....ahh!!

[Delta 21]

Yep!

[pax_et_bonum]

"Jobs Americans are not doing"????

Because illegals currently hold those jobs!!!

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Jobs that Americans are not doing. At least he did not say "won't do."

[djf]

"reduce the number of people..."


"temporary worker program..."

Same old bullturds.

[Mears]

Here he goes, amnesty aka "temporary workers"

[Rome2000]

NO GUEST WORKERS IN CONSTRUCTION PERIOD!!!!

[BenLurkin]

Problem is . . . all they want is work.

We need immigrants who want to become AMERICANS!

Being "taxpayers" isn't enough.

[Constantine XIII]

Why FL gators? They wouldn't be very smart. (JUST KIDDING!!!1111one)

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Can I call 'em or what?

[thomaswest]

Why am I not convinced?

If this is a good idea in May, 2006, why wasn't it a good idea in 2005?

It is merely pandering.

[gas_dr]

This is not the temporary worker program we all thought we would have -- get em on the tax roll, and they must leave upon finishing...AND HOLD EMPLOYERS IN ACCOUNT...i am not disappointed.

[PilloryHillary]

Here comes the "work that Americans will not do..."

President Bush said "work that American's AREN'T DOING..." That's supposed to sound better. /sarc
