Perry does not favor amnesty for illegal aliens.

He has expressed support for what was formerly termed a Bracero program. That program granted the privilege to aliens to legally and temporarily enter the US to work in seasonal agricultural jobs. When the season was over the Braceros had to return to their own countries.

Pisses me off that Perry’s detractors want to constantly brand him as being in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens. He has not said or done anything in support of making them legal US citizens.


Well pisses me off that neither you nor Perry acknowledge that such a program already exists - H-2 visa for temporary and seasonal workers - number unlimited! Of course there are some nasty encumbrances - minimum wage and working conditions, full taxes, the the horror of filling out an application/sarc

You might want to get informed before you make such statements, octex. algernonpj has already proven you wrong as does this.

Ricardo hopes to bestow citizenship upon his friends, the ILLEGAL invaders from the south, and is willing to do so in any way he can.

btw...it is ILLEGAL for anyone who is in this country ILLEGALLY to serve in the US military.

Enlistment into the U.S. Navy, or any branch of the U.S. military, by citizens of countries other than the United States is limited to those foreign nationals who are legally residing in the United States and possess an Immigration and Naturalization Service Alien Registration Card (INS Form I-151/551 — commonly known as a "Green Card"). Applicants must be between 17 and 35; meet the mental, moral, and physical standards for enlistment; and must speak, read and write English fluently.

Note: The U.S. military branches cannot assist foreign nationals in obtaining admittance into the United States. Questions concerning immigration to the United States should be asked of the U.S. Embassy. Only after immigration procedures are completed and an applicant is legally residing in the United States may an application for enlistment be accepted.

I remember you being on the right side during the GWB amnesty push (against it, that is). I agree that we have enough guest worker programs, probably too many.

For the H-2, I think that an employer has to do do something to request workers. Maybe they can't find enough employers/jobs. Which tells me that those pushing these new guest worker programs don't care if there are not enough jobs.
