I have generally agreed with you on alot of things as of late, but I do have this question for you. By "no amnesty" does he mean that guestworkers will not be allowed to stay after their temporary visa expires, or does he mean, as McCain and Kennedy seem to believe, that they should be allowed to gain citizenship while working in this country?

Guest workers have to leave when their visas expire and if they want to get citizenship, they have to go to their home countries and apply and go to the back of the line.

"Guest workers have to leave when their visas expire and if they want to get citizenship, they have to go to their home countries and apply and go to the back of the line."

That sounds reasonable, but, and this is the key, it would have to be enforced. I would like to see some serious enforcement provisions instated before a guestworker program is set up, but that is just me talking.

"Guest workers have to leave when their visas expire..."

Stop right there! What makes you think they'll leave? How are we going to find them and round them up, Genius.

Guest workers have to leave when their visas expire....

Why would they leave? Who is going to make sure they leave?

LOL! And when they don't leave as they're supposed to? What then?

As an aside, What other group didn't leave when their visas expired?

Give up?

The 9/11 hijackers.

Great plan you've got there, Dane.

You obviously havent read Bushs guest worker plan. It in now way stipulates they need to go home to apply. In fact it suggests that they could apply while in country and stay during processing.
