america amnesty bill bush compete cooking countless guest jobs lead maintain massive middle numbers people plan president public result specter struggling trying unlimited wages wave workers
While countless Americans see their real wages falling, and are struggling to maintain a foothold in the middle class, Sen. Specter and President Bush are cooking up a plan that will lead to their marginalization. What they are trying foist upon the American public as 'immigration reform' will be a fraud-ridden amnesty and unlimited numbers of new guest workers to compete for the jobs American workers still hold. If this bill should ever be enacted, the America that most people know will become unrecognizable as a result of the most massive wave of immigration in history.
amnesty amount available choices claiming class effort enforce guest hand item massive middle options people president reasons remain workers
In reality, the choices we have before us are amnesty and guest workers on the one hand -- which would amount to a massive sell-out of the American middle class -- and, on the other hand, a comprehensive enforcement effort that eliminates the reasons why people come and remain in the U.S. illegally. There is a whole smorgasbord of options available to enforce our immigration laws, yet the president is still claiming that there is only one item on the menu.
aftermath ahead along deal determined expansion foolish gulf history hurricane ignored maintain manage massive move prepared seem serious spite war
This administration ignored warnings that we were not prepared to deal with the aftermath of the war in Iraq. They ignored warnings that we were not prepared to deal with the aftermath of a serious hurricane along the Gulf coast. And, just to maintain foolish consistency, they seem determined to move ahead with the most massive expansion of immigration in the history of mankind, in spite of warnings that we are not prepared to manage such a program.

A massive guest worker program is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. The real problem is a relentless assault on middle class workers in this country. The people gathering outside Sen. Feinstein's office will be seeking her leadership to save the middle class worker, before they really do become rarer than the California condor.

beyond certainly congress course cycle either election history leaders looked middle nation next path people productive remember remembered sent vibrant worries
Every politician, and certainly every president, worries about how history will remember them. This administration and this Congress will either be remembered as the people who sent the nation hurtling down the path to catastrophic overpopulation, or the leaders who looked beyond the next election cycle and set the nation on a course of sustainable growth, with a vibrant and productive middle class.
appalled community country fair given hispanic leadership millions national outraged people radical recent recognize rest seeing speak streets support together voice
FAIR has always had the support of many Hispanic Americans, but given recent events, many people in that community have come to recognize that they need an independent voice in this national debate. Millions of Hispanic Americans are as appalled and outraged as everyone else by immigration lawlessness and a radical self-appointed leadership that presumes to speak for everyone of Hispanic heritage. Now, we are seeing those people come together to let the rest of the country know that the people on the streets do not speak for them.
based cheap endorsed enforce labor plan political public reality surrender true
What the WGA has endorsed is not an immigration plan 'based in reality,' but a surrender plan based on capitulation to cheap labor interests. What is needed, and what the American public is demanding, is a true enforcement plan that is based in reality and the political will to enforce this nation's laws.
address amendment believe bill border broken direction fix looking meaningful moving number reform security top until
Border Security and enforcement need to be the number one priority. Until we fix our broken borders, we can't address immigration reform in any meaningful and constructive way. We believe the Nelson, Sessions, Coburn Amendment is moving in the right direction by looking at an enforcement only bill as a top priority.

border broken bush citizens class concerned country decades few given guest hold hope illegal jobs justify leave means middle might president promises proposal record simply talked time work worker workers
But there is not much hope for Americans in blue-collar work being able to hold their jobs if the guest worker proposal is adopted. Concerned citizens will not have much hope that today's illegal workers will leave the country after being given six-year work permits, and they will simply have to hope that there is still a middle class in a few years. President Bush also talked about 'stronger immigration enforcement and border protection,' and we might hope that after decades of broken promises that this time he really means it, but the record does not justify much hope.
border business people primary putting since target
Since business is the primary culprit, they need to be the primary target of any so-called reform. Just putting more people on the border is not going to do it.
