The problem with a "guest worker" program is the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment was not properly ratified, to be sure. But the Courts have been unwilling to make that decision; and so long as it remains enforceable, anyone born within one of these United States is automatically a citizen of that State and of the United States.

That a "guest worker" program is really not in our already quite crowded interest, is also made obvious, every time you get stuck in a gridlock traffic pattern on an expressway. We are already too many for pure comfort.

The partial amnesty--or whatever you want to call it--which got jammed through the House last night--needs to be derailed in the Senate. And what must follow is a full ranging debate on the question of immigration. (See Immigration & The American Future, for a Conservative view in that debate.)

There should be no Amnesty this side of the border. We need to make it clear to all the world that America belongs to her own people. Anything less is the abnegation of Nationhood.
