Its not even a guest program. I'm in favor of a guest program since most illegals do work no American's willing to do but I draw the line at amnesty. Jorge W. Bush and Karl Rove need to go back to the drawing boards on this one. The conservative base has swallowed a lot but if they really push this through Congress, it'll be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

No it's a temporary Guest worker program.

After 5 years they can apply for a green card - but there is such a huge backlog that it could take decades for them to become citizens.

Most will never get citizenship.

The 86 Amnesty gave citizenship - this doesn't.
