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.

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.
Dan Stein
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.

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.
