The Washington Times
President Bush said that his goal is eventually to expel "every single" illegal alien from the United States has his administration pressed Congress to pass a guest worker program.
Although conceding that the administration can not immediately deport an estimated 11 million illegal aliens who are here, Homeland security Secretary Michael Chernoff and Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao told Congress that a temporary worker program would give aliens in incentive to come out of hiding and let them work legally for six years before being forced to return home.
if they are hiding successfully now, then why should they come out and be counted when they know that within six years of that date, they will have to leave. Again, if they're not afraid to violate federal immigration laws by being here illegally, they are just going to laugh in the face of President Bush over this one and see it as an even bigger opportunity to come here.
"We're going to get control of our borders," he said during the signing ceremony in the East room. "Our goal is clear -- to return every single illegal entrant, with no exceptions."
I would say get your priorities clear first.
The current administration under the Homeland security act has made it tougher on the citizens of United States in the name of security while in the meantime, our biggest threat in my opinion is our borders.
This is the same analogy of buying an expensive alarm system and leaving the doors and windows unlocked.
First, get your borders under control and clean house. Then, talk to me about your guest worker program.
I'm also wondering what percentages are of how many illegals would be even interested in the guest worker program. Perhaps one suggestion might be, that to qualify for the guest worker program, YOU CAN NOT BE LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES AT THE TIME.
Otherwise, it is like catching a burglar in your house and offering him forgiveness because he came forward knowing that there would be no consequences for being caught.
