And W is in Tucson, pushing his immigration plan. The guest worker program creates instant supply of slave labor for the corporations, and by limiting the workers to a six-year stay in the US, exploits them without giving them the benefits of the American society in return. I am very sure that for certain nationalities that tend to be pro-Republican and socially conservative, like the Nicaraguans, there are some amnesty and other backroom deals being worked out. I am not liking any of these developments on immigration; neither the guest worker program nor the backroom deals will do ANYTHING to solve the core problems in the US immigration policy.
