ODESSA, Texas (AP) - President Bush's former deputy chief of staff, Karl Rove, says the government will need a temporary worker program to be successful with immigration reform.

Rove said the program is needed reduce pressure on the nation's border security apparatus. But he says the details of such a program haven't been explained to the American public well.

He also says the U.S. Border Patrol will need to be doubled and its budget tripled with 300 miles of fence built.

The comments came yesterday as part of the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute's Distinguished Lecture Series at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa.

About the 2008 presidential race, Rove said he favored the Republican nominee but said Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton could have a chance of winning because she has "a machine around her."

some would argue the same. The devils are in the details. I have no trouble with temporary workers if:

1) We know who you are

2) We know where you are living

3) We know what you are doing

4) You are not voting or breaking the law.

Since Rove is no longer employed, he should start a line.

Notice Rove never says anything about the spending side of things. This is what happens when you have a purely poliitical hack calling the shots

2) We know where you are living

3) We know what you are doing

4) You are not voting or breaking the law.

5) You come here legally with a work sponsor

6) You don't bring family, much less extended family

7) You leave when the sponsored job is completed

And either you or your employer puts down a significant deposit which will be refunded when you check-in with ICE on your way out.

“President Bush’s former deputy chief of staff, Karl Rove, says the government will need a temporary worker program to be successful with immigration reform.”

What a jerk! Apparently this idiot hasn’t checked out what a big success the temporary worker programs have been in Eurabia. Here’s a guarantee; given the infatuation the Republican elites have with TROP and that of the Dems with getting plenty of illegals to vote for them, left up to them this country will be overrun with Mohammedans and Hispanics within 15 years. Guys like Rove should be tried for treason.

Karl Rove’s genius has really failed him on the immigration issue.

We already have temporary worker programs, which have several million working in this country legally.
