America's humanitarian concern for foreign victims of natural disasters or civil strife is being abused by President Bush when he extends legal status to foreigners in the US when there is no reason that they could not go home safely.

That's how we ought to feel when we see an amnesty. People crashing the borders, breaking the law, getting ahead of the line. Telling the guy who waits patiently and plays by the rules that he's a sucker.Dan Stein
If we don't educate these kids, what happens to them ... That's a question we have to answer.

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.

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.

Every member of Congress who supports this program of massive government mandated population growth should have an obligation to explain to the American people why he or she believes that this country will be better off with a population of a billion people within the lifetimes of today's children. We should not be surprised that the same people who are burdening the next generation with 9 trillion in debt from irresponsible government spending think nothing of mortgaging the natural resources and the environment of future generations in order to satisfy the demands of a handful of special interests today. Overpopulation in America is not an inevitability. If it happens it will be a conscious choice of irresponsible leadership that is willing to sacrifice the long-term interests of the nation for political expedience.
Dan Stein
The image of an industry that practically invented the middle class worker is crumbling before our eyes, while the president puts out a 'Help Wanted' ad for millions of low wage workers. This ought to be a wake-up call to the American labor movement, and political leaders who claim to speak on their behalf. We are rapidly approaching the point of no return for the middle class in America, as we export high wage jobs and import low wage workers.
