Mr Bush has only one concern in this whole matter, he wants the "Guest Worker Program" that he promised the energy Industry. Mr. Bush is willing to sign any bill congress comes up with as long as it includes his guest worker program.
Already in Ky lawmakers are working toward changing a law that requires certified underground coalminers to be able to speak english. Coal mining is already a dangerous occupation and communication is essential to the health and safety of the miners.
Already in Mexico there are recruiters signing up young Mexican men to come work in Ky coal mines. The coal industry justifies this by saying that Appalachian men and women no longer have the same work ethics they once had. This may be true, they are no longer willing to kill themselve for the coal industry, They are no longer willing to practice unsafe methods to increase profits, they are no longer willing to go home empty handed after giving a lifetime to the coal industry..
We all know that undocumented workers are a problem but its a problem that can be resolved if Dems and Reps work together. Why not let cogress come up with a solution for those already here before we pass a law to bring more. If the "Guest Worker Program> has merit it can be brought up for debate at a later time. Us solve the current problem before we create another
