NASHVILLE, Tenn. - President Bush sharply challenged critics of his stalled immigration-overhaul efforts on Thursday, suggesting that failure to pass a guest-worker program could trigger a labor shortage in the United States.
At a town-hall style meeting, Bush also rebuffed a question about whether he would consider pardoning two Border Patrol agents in prison for the cover-up of the shooting of a drug trafficker in Texas.
"No, I won't make you that promise," Bush told a woman who asked about a possible pardon. Many Republicans in Congress have said the men should not have been convicted and have criticized the federal U.S. attorney for even prosecuting the agents.
"I know it's an emotional issue but people need to look at the facts. These men were convicted by a jury of their peers after listening to the facts" as presented by U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, said Bush. Bush called Sutton a friend.

lol!
do you remember the bunny with the pancake on his head???
Those were funny!
Ha! Ha! Never really thought about it, I imagine some people would have no problem using their real name, unless they were illegal of course. But reading your posts I think I understand now why you chose the name 'Jorge' for your handle.
As if you think "Borax Queen" and "ZULU" are names they use to "hide" their real diplomatic status.
I can't believe how stupid your responses are.
There certainly IS an incestuous relationship between liberal Republicans and Dems.
Yes. I hate to break it to you. He became a leftie.
Too bad he didn’t pay more attention to his “Dad” Andy Griffith. I think he spent too much time philosophizing with Don Knotts. It must have frazzled his brain.
That’s right, the bunny! ah... the good ‘ol days.
Quite Welcome,,,Always glad to give a funi...;0)
Who told you illegals are put in front of those waiting in line? Show me evidence of this. I want documentation.
I bet you can't support this claim.
Friend, SMILE if you use Ronald Reagan and George Bush in the same sentence!!!!!!
Gee George, we already have guestworker programs. What you really want is open borders and cheap/slave labor for all your business buddies. Not to mention undermining America with a massive third world onslaught. You & Teddy K!
Guestworker Programs
Hiring Foreign Workers
Foreign Labor Certification Overview
The Department of Labor issues labor certifications for permanent and temporary employment under the following programs:
Permanent Labor Certification
H-1C Nurses in Disadvantaged Areas
H-2A Temporary Labor Certification (Seasonal Agricultural)
H-2B Temporary Labor Certification (Non-agricultural)
D-1 Crewmembers Certification
Foreign labor certification programs permit U.S. employers to hire foreign workers on a temporary or permanent basis to fill jobs essential to the U.S. economy. Certification may be obtained in cases where it can be demonstrated that there are insufficient qualified U.S. workers available and willing to perform the work at wages that meet or exceed the prevailing wage paid for that occupation in the area of intended employment.
Foreign labor certification programs are designed to assure that the admission of foreign workers into the United States on a permanent or temporary basis will not adversely affect the job opportunities, wages, and working conditions of U.S. workers.
Employment based immigration is a complex process that may involve a number of government agencies within the Federal Department of Labor, the State Department of Labor, the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) and the Department of State. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.) regulates the admission of foreign workers into the United States. The INA designates the Attorney General and the Secretary of State as the principal administrators of its provisions.

Program Regulations & FAQs

FAQs
Compensation of Foreign Workers
Regulations require that the wages attested to on foreign labor certification applications must be the average wage paid to all other workers in the requested occupation in the area of intended employment. This average wage is referred to as the prevailing wage. See Prevailing Wages for more information.
The employer is not precluded from paying nonimmigrant(s) more than the prevailing wage.
Employer Compliance
The employer should be aware that in filing for a foreign labor certification, the employer is obligated to comply with all employment related laws and regulations. In the case of H-1B Specialty (Professional) Workers and “H-2A”: http://workforcesecurity.doleta.gov/foreign/h-2a.asp Temporary Seasonal Agricultural workers, additional obligations also apply. The details on these obligations may be found in the sections detailing H-1B and H-2A. Failure to comply with the established laws and regulations may potentially result in penalties and possible legal action.
The Wage and Hour Division of the Employment Standards Administration (ESA) at the Department of Labor is responsible for investigating and determining an employer’s misrepresentation in or failure to comply with the H-1B and H-2A program requirements and with employment laws, principally the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Non-DOL Employment Visas
For information regarding other employment based visas which do not require Department of Labor certification, see the U.S. Department of State’s website or the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Service’s website.

Good times!
Wow, you have the inside Hollywood scoop... I liked Don Knotts, please don’t tell me any more :)
I have never watched Ron H. movies, that I can recall. They just didn’t interest me. So, he was off my radar I suppose.
I do know about a few “closet” conservatives in Hollywood, lol. Maybe not so in the closet, and maybe not sooo conservative, but still...
That's more than the government wants from the illegals.
FOFLOL!
Oh my, sounds like you're becoming intoxicated. Drinking too much of this stuff can cause one to lose sight of reality you know.
LOL,,,yep,,,plenty of pancakes to go around,,,they show-up
everywhere...;0)
I thought Jorge was your real name too. Some people do use their first names!
George Bush is right,George Bush is wrong, can we please get more Mexicans into the country as soon as possible,my lawn needs mowing !!!
Sorry.
It doesn’t sell.
The America of the 1800’s invented the combine to reap wheat and save labor. Why bother inventing labor-saving devices when you can rent a slave?
One of the reasons Rome collapsed - no incentive for engineering innovations if slaves were a dime a dozen.
So do those darned bunnies!
What a surprise!
Too bad their stunted little imaginations can't break out of the "Kool Aid" cliches.
