"I don't oppose a guest worker program for people applying from outside the US or for people who are legally in the country."
I can agree with that, but I also oppose any guestworker program, ie McCain/Kennedy, that allows for a path to citizenship for the guestworkers. In my opinion, that is amnesty.
Ssecondly, it truly amazes me that Ted Kennedy has any say whatsoever about what immigration policy the Congress takes up. His last one was a disaster.
As I said I only support a Guest Worker progrma for people applying from outside the country or people already here legally.
The people comming to the US under such a program would be here legally. If they come here and provide a possitive contribution to our society and we end up with measurable evidence that they are productive and alw abiding, why shouldn't that be an avenue toward citizenship.
I also fail to see how it would be any form of amnesty?
