No, if you want a "guest worker program" (which always turns into amnesty), that would be McCain.

No, the operative word is guest. It doesn't include any 'path to citizenship'. Workers apply in their own country, are only allowed in on the basis of our labor needs, and return to their own country when their term is done. IIRC, under previous programs, a substantial portion of their earnings was held in escrow until they did leave the country. A guest worker program does not mean amnesty by any stretch of the imagination.

But he promised federal home loan protections to some who are about to lose their homes

More pandering.

Does Romney Have The Juice To Win?

LAKELAND, Fla. — It’s good to mention oranges when running for political office in Florida. Perhaps even better to pose with them.

Mike Huckabee visited the Lakeland PIg Festival here earlier today. Mitt Romney may have done him one better.

At al appearance Saturday afternoon at Florida Citrus Mutual Headquarters, Romney drew an overflow crowd of about 300 people that left many of them standing outside the building, apparently content to listen to his speech on speakers.

Hey Romulans, if you don't want the price of your citrus fruit to go through roof next year, better consider someone else...perhaps Mittwitt's sons can get in the fields and help the Florida citrus growers next season get a crop in--one incidentally crucial to the state's economy. Myth Romney, incredible economic leader manger, Riiiight < /sarc
