“You say it’s not amnesty, but it is,” Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa said of temporary worker proposals. “If it looks, acts and smells like amnesty, then in my eyes, it is amnesty.”

That’s about as plain and simple as you can put it. Bush once again is proving that he is out of touch not just with the Republican Party, but with the American people. Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to illegal immigration. Bush needs to drop this guest worker program now because he is not doing the Republicans any favors for the upcoming elections this year.

If Bush wants a guest worker program, fine, but no program until the 11 million illegal aliens are removed from this country and the government starts cracking down on businesses hiring them. The Republicans are more concerned about their big business contributors who profit off of illegal immigration, than they are about what is best for this country.
