I believe the business community was more interested in the uniformity of enforcement and the ability to have a guest worker program that they could rely on, but was willing to give a little on the eventual citizenship thing as part of the compromise. The next bill in 2009 won’t be so business friendly, but will be much friendlier to the citizenship part.
“The next bill in 2009 won’t be so business friendly, but will be much friendlier to the citizenship part.”
I agree 100%.
And as bad as that is, it would be tolerable if they’d just close the darn borders. But it won’t happen. This is the backdoor into:
Sure that's why you have law firms out giving lessons on how to avoid hiring Americans. Many American business wants slave labor and plenty of it. I want to see them in jail and face asset forfeiture their crimes are no difference than the druggie down on the corner and they cost society more.
Sounds like you have a case of the Linda Chavez sour grapes. How much friendlier to the citizenship part can it get than this bogus Comp Immigration bill....it was purely evil in it’s intent!
This issue is best deferred, passing this Comp Immigration bill is giving into all manner of lawlessness, crooked businesses and crooked politicos as well as weak willed do gooders. We will see what will happen, but I see the beginnings of an awakening by the middle class and all citizen voters! 2008 will be interesting.
