Tougher Talk on Illegal Immigration
By coffee and cream (USA), Section United States of America
With conservatives split on the issue, the Bush administration vows to boost enforcement but says a guest worker program is essential.
With conservatives' deep divisions over immigration reform, the Bush administration has vowed Tuesday to pursue the President's plan to adopt tougher measures to secure the borders and crack down on illegal residents, while also pushing to enact a guest worker program. The administration states that it does not support amnesty or an easy path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, but insists greater law enforcement efforts must go hand in hand with a guest worker program to facilitate the flow of immigrants into the workforce. His guest worker plan would not give illegal aliens a path to legal residency, Bush said.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) and other conservatives have called for putting off consideration of a guest worker program until after a law enforcement crackdown is launched and demonstrates that it can choke the flow of illegal immigrants and deal with the 11 million already in the country. see link for more info: http://www.votersdomain.com/article.php?aid=2591&tid=17&from=search - - - - It's just that people are making a living to survive. Can't fully blame the illegal immigrants. While i pity them for having been put into such mess, and disagree on deporting millions of them, I wouldn't support amnesty program to just save them like that. They have to accomplish all necessary documents to earn US citizenship. Just being fair enough to those who've come legally. Advertisement
The world could use more dialogue about its differences — a little understanding goes a long way. There are many online forums where people with different perspectives yell at each other and hurl abuse. There aren't so many where completely different points of view are expressed rationally and constructively. That's why The World Forum was created.
