President Bush did indicate that he was in favor of upping the numbers of slots across the board and then tied it to jobs that Americans won't fill. What kind of jobs might they be? They wouldn't be underpaying jobs would they.

Notice there is no connection between jobs we won't FILL, AND PAY!

And since when is it that we are supposed to FILL jobs? Sounds like the President is saying it is our obligation to FILL some big business quote out there somewhere. Again no mention of pay, .....
..just all you'll fill dem dang slots in dat dar chaingang or you'll ain't gonna hav no jobs at all cause I'll a givem ta dem dar mexeecans.

So...No Borders - No Votes

Its President Bush who is doing everything in his power to elect a Democrat. I can't wait to see what next week's salvo against the right will be.
Oh I know, he will introduce Bilingual Spanglish as the official language.

Actually, there was. The jobs will now be covered under our labor laws.

That means wage, hour and IRS involvement.

If that happens, how many more jobs do you think will result? How many of those currently employing illegals will still be in business?

I think far fewer and all will be legitamate.

I had hoped that FReepers would enjoy participating in a overhaul of immigration.

The borders can't be protected much better than they are now without it.

I prefere to participate and not bow out of the process.

Great point! (and as pitiful as the situation is, funny too)

Subcommittee chairman, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Georgia Republican, called for a "total overhaul" of the nation's immigration policies, saying the country needs to meet national-security requirements, economic interests and a manageable policy for how many foreign nationals are admitted each year.
"Many U.S. employers of aliens have difficulties in finding Americans to fill jobs performed by illegal aliens," he said. "Employers also have difficulty in determining who is legal and who is illegal due to the lack of verifiable documentation in the hiring process.

"This wink-and-nod cycle contributing to hiring illegal aliens must stop, while still providing a method for U.S. employers to gain access to the workers they need," he said

I had to read this again after you pointed it out. It really is an amazing statement. Our dear Sen. Chambliss has bluntly stated that we are merely workers in the world temp pool, and he is the temp agency that will provide business with the necessary workers.
