The Bush administration de facto "Temporary Worker Program"

Posted Tue, Nov 8, 2005 at 3:20 am
Wrap your mind around this AP report:
Officials with the U.S. Department of Labor and Mexico's Foreign Ministry pledged Monday to protect the rights - especially fair pay and safe working conditions - of immigrant workers, whether they are in the United States legally or not.
But, I thought the Bush administration was getting tough on illegal immigration? Why, here's a DHS quote from just a few days ago:
Since the events of 9/11, President Bush has placed ever-increasing importance on immigration control, including border security, and has devoted significant resources to the stark challenge of illegal migration.
So, which is it? The DOL is going to look the other way and in effect treat illegal aliens as legal workers, and at the same time the Bush administration is about to vanquish illegal immigration? Do they really expect anyone to believe what they say?

Then, we get word of two agreements between this country and Mexico:
One, signed in 2004, sought to increase safety for Hispanic workers in the U.S. The other, signed in May, aims at extending housing and rural development programs to immigrant agricultural workers...

One of the major problems facing immigrant workers is that they don't know their rights under U.S. labor laws and suffer many violations for fear that exposure will mean deportation, [Bosco Marti, Mexico's Foreign Relations Department's point man on North American affairs] said...

...The Department of Labor and the Mexican government are collaborating on an outreach campaign to distribute publications that inform immigrants on workplace safety, minimal wages and other rights they have while working in the United States...
Employers of illegal aliens must comply with our wage laws? Could the Bush administration be a practical joke?

Even the AP notices this cognitive dissonance, pointing to the press release linked above. Even the AP realizes there's a problem...

Then, comes this creepy bit:
"The ultimate goal is an immigration agreement that benefits the U.S. economy and ... that ensures respect for the human and labor rights of the Mexican population that is planting roots in the United States," Marti said.
When a foreign population "plants roots" in another country, isn't that normally termed an invasion? And, what do we call people who allow another country to invade their country?

Let me say without going totally insane, the one world pigs will not win. and yes the pigs will use millions if not billions of the third world's people to take down this nation but in the end the one world rats will not win.

"Wow, and here I am thinking this is 2005."
Yeah, it's 2005 and there is ethnic, racial and cultural conflict all around the globe. Heard the news from France lately?

The American citizens will have no choice.

We are a people who have been betrayed by our government.

We must take it upon ourselves to protect our homeland anyway possible.

They, the illegal Mexican invaders, have brought this war to us. We must finish it.

jeff i love you but the fact is by de facto the only way this can be stopped is for people to take up arms and stop in by real old ways, if you understand what i mean, or just stay quirt and let this evil mass invasion happen and someday you will be the illegal inside the usa becuase it will become mexico.

you may as well call bush a tool for he is that thing of the one world ideals; of slave labor.

remember a free people don't have to ask one thing! "am i free".
the fact is that bush will get tought but on people who stand against the ideals of mexico and the one world ideals of making this by de facto into a third world hell on earth.

I have my guns do you? and yes its creepy ok! but normal for a non government to do things like this.

The creepy part isn't that the Mexicans said such a thing. It's clear that is their aim. The creepy part is "our" government helping them while lying to the public about it intentions.
