GWB likes cheap labor; that's why his alternative to doing nothing is the guest worker program. That doesn't bother me -- cheap labor isn't all bad -- but the fact that it seems to be more important to him than border security does.

This will be an important week for discussion, but we don’t expect more than talk this week.

I don't want a guest worker program, and neither does the majority of Americans. I would support one however, if it was run this way: Every illegal, the ones in the country and the ones got later, should serve a 10 year sentance working on public service projects(roads, levys, etc). While doing so they should be given a complete background check, find out where they were born, what country they immigrated from, criminal records, terrorists connections, etc.

If they are clean other than breaking our immigration laws, then they can get a green card in 10 years when they are released, AND go back to their home country and apply legally. If not, they are shipped back to where ever they came from and if they show up again they get life in prison. We can set up tent cities to house them

This is the only way I will support a guest worker program, after they have served a prison sentance for breaking our immigration laws.

We have the means, we have the money BUT we need the will to lock these criminals up. It is simple to solve this problem, our government only needs to take the steps, which they seem unwilling to do!
