=the reason we have so many illegal workers is because there is disconnect between our government, various industries, and the general population.
I think the govt and inductry heard the general population loud and clear when the last immigration reform bill was loudly opposed and soundly defeated.
=Many industries need workers and many labor intensive jobs are not being filled by American workers.
The fact is that you don't care if these jobs are filled by people paid next to nothing, meaning that they are being exploited. Apparently you're ok with that. Or are you saying that Americans won't work hard, is that what "labor intensive" means? Americans won't work for peanuts, but Americans have no aversion to hard work with which I'm familiar. Maybe you know a lot of welfare queens, I don't know.
=As long as industries need workers people will come here to work.
As long as there's lax border security, people will come here to work.
=This is good for the economy and nothing to be ashamed of.
Expoliting foreigners who are poor and powerless is good for the economy and nothing to be ashamed of.
Illegals commit crimes and traffic accidents wildly out of proportion to their numeric representation among the populace, but that's just tough s**t, eh?
=What we need is for the congress to stop being afraid and support the president in the guest worker program. Only when we have a guest worker program in place we can discuss the other issues of immigration. This is the sensible thing to do for our country and our future.
This is ridiculous and arbitrary. By what logic is a "guest workerprogram" the necessary prerequite to controlling the border? None. Once we build a wall and deport all illegals then we can regulate and police the influx. A "guest worker program" only places and advance guard here to further facilitate the invasion of illegals. "Hey Julio, if you can sneak in you can live with me, I'm here on the guest worker program, but it takes two years to get through the application. So just sneak in and I'll put you up and find you work." Is that what you're talking about? That's what happened the last time we had a guest worker program.
Oh, and thanks for ignoring everything I said in my last post.
