Like the amnesty in 1986, when the nation was promised that in return for the amnesty our borders would be secured, welfare only be given to our citizens and companies who hired illegals would be punished, the same old tired lies are being trotted out again ... only this time we have a "guest worker program" attached to the "comprehensive package". Well, guess what ... we already HAVE a guest worker program on the statute books ... so no need to tinker with any "comprehensive laws" at all ... all this is a smoke screen to make Americans swallow the unpalatable medicine ... it was lies and a croc of crap in 1986, and it's lies and a croc of crap now ... honestly, our Commander in Chief must think we're all stupid!

To late. The right-wingers in congress killed his amnesty/guest worker plan. Do you think that will come back before the elections? I don't.
After the elections the dems *might* come up with a new proposal...though I wouildn't hold my breath.

i think of it is going to matter lots on what happens in November. additionally, the maximum modern 'sort' of amnesty/visitor worker application I heard of being proposed became into legalization for people who're employed and paying taxes. it is the advice of a contemporary Senate activity tension. i think of a few sort of agriculture visitor worker application could be further yet desire this is seasonal, because of the fact the artwork is basically seasonal, however the impacts on colleges and well being care are twelve months around. the present AgJobs plan might usher in clean human beings each 3 years and basically say 'in case you artwork in agriculture for 3 years you will get residency, and training well being care and advantages on the taxpayer cost'. the priority is, the taxpayer gets no advantages of letting the corporate pay those poverty point wages to start with. besides the fact that, i don't be attentive to that they are going to convince the yank human beings to take something and not making use of a citizen-enforcable plan to end the whole concern, dismantling employment and earnings magnets for illegals and mandating indoors enforcement going forward. our colleges and hospitals are already failing.

It's not his to decide. A bill needs to pass both the Senate and the House of Representatives before going to him to sign into law. It doesn't look like anything concerning amnesty will pass in the House, thank God! If he does actually get a bill like that in front of him - yes, he will sign it.

I hope not. The last time the US gave amnesty they said they were going to halt the leakage. The border became a sieve. If they give amnesty with a sieve will it turn into a flood?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Wednesday vowed to keep working for immigration legislation including a guest worker program, as Republicans held dueling hearings to build support for rival bills.
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter assembled employers and sympathetic politicians to testify in Philadelphia about the country's dependence on the estimated 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
Meanwhile, House Republican leaders convened a public hearing at a Border Patrol station in San Diego to highlight the need for stricter enforcement along the U.S. border with Mexico to prevent illegal immigrants entering the country.
Bush took a short trip from the White House to Alexandria, Virginia to weigh in on the debate, buying coffee at a Dunkin' Donuts with dollars borrowed from an aide. He told reporters the country needed a guest worker program.
"I know there needs to be a worker program that says you can come here on a temporary basis and work here legally for jobs Americans aren't doing," he said.

NO!!!!! I think he's going to dick around and do nothing. THEN, when the House passes the enforcement ONLY (HR4437) bill, Bush can say, "Hey i did everything i could to get the Senate bill passed"!!!

Yes he sold us out. He is opening up our borders. He is handing over all of America's importing and exporting to Mexico. If you think immigration is bad now when Bush gets done America will be a cluster fu*#.
Don't take my word for it, read it in this REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVE magazine.
