A Guest Worker program, is nothing more than re-categorizing 'illegals' as 'legals'. How many people are standing in line, waiting to set foot on US soil right this minute? A hundred? A thousand? A hundred thousand?
These people have played by the rules, they have paid legal fees, they have paid filing fees; and they are waiting in their home country for the paperwork to be completed and sent back to them, so they can pay someone to take them here.
Meanwhile, we have felons who have evaded authorities for years, who have no loyalty or intention of becomeing Americans demanding that we accept them. They demand we teach their children in Spanish, they demand we teach them their history and their culture. The demand we celebrate 'Cinco de Mayo', the wave their flags on our soil and demand we recognize them.
The phrase 'Mi Casa, Su Casa' is said by the host to an invited guest; but never by the uninvited guest to the host. Illegals have not grasped this very basic concept.
Book'em; and ship'em. Make the cost so severe, that their relatives will not even conceive of coming here illegally. I mean, seize their cars, homes, property, bank accounts, and send them home. This is how we treat drug smugglers, car thieves and other felons. This is how Mexico would treat us, and this is simply enforcing the laws we already have on our books.

Who is watching Greta? Did her guest just say "look at them as Native Americans who ended up on the wrong side of the border"?
There are millions standing in line waiting to come into the US legally. There is a tremendous backlog, plus various categories have yearly caps. It takes a long time for the line to move up.
