What we need today is not another Bracero program. What we need today is another 1950`s vintage "Operation Wetback" program. This time with a much larger military force contingent to get the job done right.
This Presidents main concern in immigration reform, is for granting amnesty to the 15 million illegals living in the US today. All other aspects of immigration reform are secondary concerns to Bush.
Thank you for admitting not all "guest worker programs" = amnesty. That's all I was looking for - good night.
"This Presidents main concern in immigration reform, is for granting amnesty to the 15 million illegals living in the US today. All other aspects of immigration reform are secondary concerns to Bush."
Sorry, I have nothing, factually from Bush over six years to tell me this and much to tell me that not granting amnesty is not his "main concern".
He slimes every loyal GOP who wants enforcement first with the false claim that they want a massive one-time deportation of all 12 million illegal immigrants.
He fails to admit that taking the steps to actaully enforce the existing laws would not amount to an immediate and massive deportation of anyone. But, as more and more employers of illegals met the legal punishments for doing so, "illegal" job openings would gradually decrease and over time many illegals would gradually return home, voluntarily; get back in the legal line and eventually return, legally - all within current law, with no "reforms".
Bush knows that the legal loopholes in the "comprehensive" reform bill make any "reform" aspect of the bill tantamount to amnesty in all but name. One of the amendments, by Senator Durbin requires that all current immigration judges be replaced by a new position staffed by those in the legal profession currently serving as legal advocates for immigrants - kinda like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
That item is just the tip of the iceberg and the only thing really "comprehensive" about the Senate proposed, Bush backed bill is how comprehensively the Senators have hidden the destructive nature of the bill in its 400 amendments.
"Comprehensive" is no more than a Bush, McPain, McKennedy talking point and it reveals nothing of the actual substance of the bill.
Why don't you actually get a copy of the bill or read some reports on it instead of mouthing the spin of its promoters?
