The only reason I can come up with is they know this scam won't work and they don't want it to. They want Mexican slave labor.

In January 2004 GWB proposed that illegals get a three-year work visa, once renewable.

The you go home, to stay there, or to apply for U.S. residency, or whatever.

Point is (and GWB did make this point), at the end of your "work visa" you go home. If you want residency, you get in line behind law-abading applicants, who in many cases have been waiting 5 or 10 years or even longer.

But somewhere in trip from January 2004 until today, GWB has suddenly found the case for a "a path to citizenship."

It takes 8 to 25 years for relatives of citizens to immigrate here. What the pro-amnesty crowd doesn't mention is the last amnesty was in 2000 [Section 245(i)], and that one has already delayed the 4 million waiting in line to immigrate here legally an additional one or two years.
