[Ol' Dan Tucker]

The wages for these kinds of jobs that employers are constantly pleading for guest workers to fill are jobs that have seen a decrease in wages over the last several years.

Because of the greed of the employers themselves.

Their greed killed the Bracero program because they hired Mexican braceros at sub-standard wages in order to increase profits and in the process displaced American workers. This was strictly against the terms of the program and as a result, the farm workers union got the government to kill the Bracero program.

Compassionate to whom? Certainly not the AMERICAN People.

[Jim_Curtis]

Because of the greed of the employers themselves.

Of course. And that is the answer to the question:

"Why do we need guest workers?"

Answer: Employee greed.

And I dare anyone to argue otherwise.
