Sure! Open the door fairly wide to legal immigration. Meanwhile, execute any illegals caught in the US.

the nation needs orderly and secure borders but that the economy couldn't function without immigrants.

A legal plan is meaningless as long as the illegal activity continues with impunity.

Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, said he was pleased Bush "called for an immigration system that deals with the influx of illegal immigrants realistically."

The wall is the only realistic start to any reform.

Cut off their taxpayer freebees, (heavily) fine employers who hire them, and end the anchor baby incentive. ......and then watch them self-deport.

Can the states take action to close their borders?

I would only be for a guest worker program if it EXCLUDED illegals.

France burned because of their "guest worker" program. And now our leaders are pushing it here? Sweet mercy!

Time to whack the RNC over the head with a clue-by-four. They won't see another dime so long as they keep selling our nation out to illegals.

It seems that he cares not a whit for our borders, or for our language or for our culture.

The only rational guest worker program is NO GUEST WORKER PROGRAM.

All this talk of Guest worker Amnesty pisses us legal immigrants off. I waited over 4 years for my greencard.

How about "guest workers" come from countries whose people have not violated our borders? I always invite people to my home who have shown me and mine courtesy and respect for not having trashed it or broken in before.

King Jorge is at it again with his nonsense about allowing illegals to have any status here other than illegal.

We raised hades with the House in November and December and even got a lot of Dims to vote a great set of laws in.

Now that law is handed over to the Senate who will come up with their own version.

The Senate is going to get an earfull, just like the House did.

Please join www.numbersusa.com and help in this grass roots effort to stop the illegal immigration or any kind of so call guest worker program.

We lambasted the House with over 175 thousand calls, letters and faxes every day! Believe me, it works.

The most humane thing we could do with the illegals is send them home. The economy does not need them and politicians who are hoping to give them citizenship in exchange for a vote are in for a rude awakening.

OK lets be rational:

Rational: Guest worker visa is NOT convertable to another type of visa.

Rational: Guest workers are ineligible to convert a work visa into US citizenship.

Rational: Children of guest workers are ineligible for us citizenship the same way foreign diplomat children born int the USA are ineligible for citizenship.

Rational: Guest workers are REQUIRED to leave the USA after ten years and may not return for work for a period of one year.

sure we need immigrants ... LEGAL immigrants!

My plan is to charge Mexico $1,000 for every illegal alien we catch and return in this country. I bet the Mexican government would stop the flow overnight!

Fair enough. But I'll be expecting to see you picking tomatos in the fields outside our town.

For the cheap labor/wage depression industries "immigration" is always the solution.

Wish our Man-Kisser in Chief would spend more time fulfilling his oath of office and less time thinking up more ways to lies about his sleazy amnesty plans.
