Bush deems guest workers key for economy

By Joseph Curl and Stephen Dinan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
February 1, 2006

President Bush last night called for "stronger immigration enforcement and border protection" even as he told Congress to move forward with his plan to create a guest-worker program to fill jobs that no Americans want.

He also seemed to challenge those in his party who oppose a guest-worker program, saying the nation needs immigrants.<snip>

He and other Republicans took issue with Mr. Bush for not differentiating between legal immigrants and illegal aliens when he said the economy could not work without immigrants. <snip>

He also said Mr. Bush's plan is unenforceable, because those here illegally cannot be expected to return to their home countries voluntarily.

better wages will get the boot. So all wages in the USA will be depressed. So the workers of the USA fight inflation. The wealthy of the USA then never have to slow down the stock market to fight inflation.

Hurrah!

And guest workers will never vote!
