actions attempt believe bush constitute government immediate mexican response rhetoric strong united urge
We believe that the actions and rhetoric of the Mexican government constitute an attempt to infringe on the sovereignty of the United States, and we urge an immediate and strong response from the Bush administration.
absurd believe case central clearly conditions country entered home insult led legal longer original permits persons process public return several status work
The conditions that led to the original designation of TPS for these Central Americans were not such that persons could not return home in the first place, and there clearly is no such justification now several years later. Further, it is an insult to the American public to use the TPS process to give legal work status to persons who entered the US illegally as is the case with most of the Central Americans benefiting from the administration's action. It is absurd to believe that these persons who entered the US illegally are going to voluntarily return to their home country once their work permits are no longer valid.
chain commitment eliminate family fix fuels migration reduce seeds system
They need to fix the system. Not only do they need to make the enforcement commitments work, they need to reduce immigration ... and eliminate the nepotistic family chain migration system that fuels the seeds of unmanageable immigration growth.
adapt adjustment allow cheap concept conditions converts creating desired economy fill foreign guest higher illegal jobs labor majority merely permanent president proposing rather served strongly wage whether workers
Rather than creating conditions that allow American workers to fill jobs at higher wages, what the president is proposing merely converts low wage illegal aliens into low wage workers with visas. Our economy would have to adapt if the influx of cheap foreign labor is ended, but that is an adjustment strongly desired by a majority of Americans, whether native-born or foreign-born. The concept that our economy must be served by a permanent under-class of foreign guest workers is reprehensible and unacceptable.
budget children class crises guest housing illegal instead jobs kids less manageable middle millions paper piece plentiful says schools state suddenly taxpayers traffic unskilled wants work
Overcrowded, multilingual, schools will not become manageable because the kids are suddenly the children of guest workers, instead of illegal aliens. Millions of unskilled laborers will not magically become high-earning taxpayers because they have work visas. State budget crises will not be alleviated, housing will not become more affordable, traffic will not become less congested, and middle class jobs will not become more plentiful if we give everyone who is here, or who wants to come here, a piece of paper that says they're legal.
directly heads related sand sit
Immigration is directly related to it. We can't sit like ostriches with our heads in the sand any longer.
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.
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.
amnesty approach assessment bush conduct consequences devil effort environmental forward future gotten guest interest mean obligation others prepared president proposing public pushing rational reckless respond rush seem seen senate special utterly workers
The devil is in the details' is an utterly reckless and irresponsible way to conduct public policy. The fiscal, social, environmental and demographic consequences of what the Senate is proposing would be staggering. In an effort to respond to special interest pressure, the Senate and the Bush Administration seem prepared to rush forward without any rational assessment of what it would mean for the future of the nation. We have seen where the 'devil is in the details' approach has gotten us in Iraq. The president and others pushing amnesty and guest workers have an obligation to think this one all the way through before acting.

This is a huge issue, and we're very discouraged and upset by what's going on in Congress. I haven't seen them get exorcised about visa overstays.

Millions of American workers, in all sectors of the labor market, have seen their jobs and wages undercut by the phenomenon of mass illegal immigration.
