Please remember we have amnest right now. Any illegal who can hide and stay out of violent felony trouble for ten years CAN and DO obtain amnesty.

We have amnesty now.

Any "guest worker" program should and must include provisions that the "guest" status is not convertable to permanent or citizenship status.

In adddition some change should be so that offspring of "guest" workers do not automatically become citizens nor should they become a drain on social services. (aka our tax dollars)

Agreed.

Again, completely concur.

In previous proposals of the prez, it was. He hasn't specified whether that's the case in the current proposal. We'll see. I doubt it very much, though.

It actually doesn't matter, though. So long as we automatically make the children of guest workers to become citizens, that gives them a sure road to citizenship.
