Bush administration to make dramatic changes to increase numbers of legal foreign workers to harvest crops.
The Bush administration today plans to announce the most significant overhaul in two decades of the nation's agricultural guest worker program, in a bid to dramatically increase the number of legal foreign laborers available to harvest crops.

... and the internal take over and betrayal of our country continues...
Send the illegals back and establish strictly enforced legal GUEST (guests return) worker programs, if there is a need for labor. Rule of law.
Yes, erase the borders totally! What we need more than anything is another hundred sixty million illiterate third worlders to vote for the new republican party, since they have lost their original constituents.
>> Rule of law.
Absolutely.
I have no problem with immigrants or guest workers per se.
Just ILLEGAL ones. And the criminals that hire them get under my skin too.
We need an incentive program for the “guest” workers to go back at the end of the season. Maybe a cash bonus once they return to the county of origin.
Seriously, my concern with this is how they propose to ensure that all these "legal" workers eventually go home, don't access social services and medical facilities, don't apply for amnesty. Otherwise this is just another scheme to get taxpayers to subsidize even more of a particular industry's labor costs.
Just one of the reasons true conservatives are not found on the ballots these days. Many are disgusted and we had to fight this battle TWICE last year.
And if Juan gets in (I still prefer him over Obama) then we will have to fight it AGAIN. And Mr. McCain, if you do get it, plan on having a PR fight against your reconquista agenda.
Political fodder for McCain to chew on. Jorge just threw him a large bone.
We are on the cusp of the robotics age. We have all the parts needed but instead of putting it all together we are going to spend the engineering money and then some on jails, healthcare, schools, and welfare for Mexicans, and increase pollution in the process.
New technologies such as robotics are needed to bail us out of our coming unfunded liabilities mess. For the future wealth and prosperity of the USA we need more robots, not Mexicans.
Do you realize that 75% of farm workers are legal, either Americans or resident aliens. How would you like the government to intervene to lower your wages. It makes me sick that the growers get cheap or slave labor at the expense of American workers. The Bushes and his corporate masters have done nothing but screw Americans. I can’t wait until he is gone.
Bush never stops trying to flood the country with his amigos. If there is a legitimate need for foreign workers, why must they come from Mexico? Why can’t we have some Europeans?

“Do you realize that 75% of farm workers are legal, either Americans or resident aliens.”
and depressing their wages even a few bucks an hour means multi-million dollar profit increases. Why not claim a false labor “shortage!”
Until the people see what these policies for what they really are, transfers of wealth away from them to a smaller group, they won’t understand.
I agree, I would like them to be legal and I would like to insist that English be made our National language. This is what upsets so many Americans.

You see how Bush ignores us now? Juan won’t even acknowledge that we exist. What you think he’s going to try for a 2nd term at 76 or 77 years of age. Naw, he’’l have stuck the knife in deep and ripped us from our crotch to our gizzards by then. This Republic will be history pretty soon.

You’re not serious are you? These people will never leave. Why should they? The illegals don’t leave and nothing happens to them.
They will of course if recent history is any guide simply leave the fields and go into something else like construction and never be seen again. Which means we import millions more to work in the fields who do the same thing. This happens because the “guests” know they can get away with it. With 20+ million illegals living in the country that’s a no-brainer.
“It would cost a lot less than the price we will pay for supporting a Mexican invasion and colonization of his country. The price of that is loss of country. Bush and his open orders buddies will surely inflate the number of “workers” allegedly needed to get more in. I have no reason to accept his word that there is a need for any great number of these “workers”.
