I am not against a guest worker program, but I want border security and interior enforcement first. A guest worker program won't stop illegal immigration. Anybody not accepted tru a guest worker program will simply enter accross the border illegally anyway.

We already have a guest worker program. It is called a work visa, I believe. Our friend from India has a visa and has been trying to get citizenship for years. In the meantime, he owns a very expensive townhouse, two cars, PAYS TAXES and has insurance. Why do I get the feeling that the guest workers from south of the border will not do any of this. Yet I'm sure they will be granted amnesty for their hard work ethic as a reward for holding their card for 3 years of continuous work in our country. I doubt they will contribute as much as our friend as he makes 6 figures, and of course, has been trying legally to get citizenship for 7 years.
