For the past four years, president Bush has managed to fool millions of Americans into thinking that he's the "homeland security" president. Figuring "once a sucker, always a sucker", he's now reiterated his push for a "temporary" worker scheme and pledging to get tough on border security.
Speaking today, he said in part:
"Together with Congress we are going to create a temporary worker program that is going to take pressure off the borders, bring workers out of the shadows... People in this debate must recognize that we will not be able to effectively enforce our immigration laws until we create a temporary worker program..."
The full WH fact sheet is at whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/11/20051128-3.html
Anyone who even pretends that these "guest" workers wouldn't stay here and end up bringing even their most distant cousins to join them is simply lying to you.
UPDATE: Video of the big speech here.

I appreciate your unique comments on this issue. This is an issue that definitely deserves open and honest discussion. I was very interested to listen to the presidents’ speech Monday. President Bush gave a good speech at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base; I hope there is as much substance to his speech as there was emotion. I hope Bush was sincere in his comments and not just trying to win support for his immigration policies in a border region where the issue is a very hot topic. I listened to Bush state that “Illegal immigration is a serious challenge, and our responsibility is clear. We are going to protect the border.” Relying on vigilante groups that sprung up along the border is not the answer, and the construction of a high-tech fence designed to keep illegal immigrants out is receiving a lot of debate. Hopefully Bushs’ comments on hiring more border officials will help out. Most polls show that the majority of Americans want stronger action to control U.S. borders. Recently governors in Arizona and New Mexico had to declare states of emergency on their borders to protect against illegal activity that was being rampantly perpetrated by illegal aliens in border areas.

To avoid endless spam, I disabled trackbacks. There's a less than even chance that I'll bring them back.

Raymond b. are you joking bush want nothing but our country become just like mexico and here is what mexico really is.
3 percent life like kings ( drug dealers and mexico political people )
7 percent are the mexican controllers of the mass
population.
90 percent live under mass poverty and hate for the USA. Bush is nothing but a rat and his political connection to mexico and its rich families are well known outside the USA, But not inside the USA, Isn't that funny?

Everyone knows that this temporary worker plan will become a permenent worker plan. Who is going to make these people go home after 6 yrs. They will not do that now, so why would they do that then. Remember that they said that we are a compassionate nation that would not want to kick out all of these illegals. Everyone needs to let your reps. know that you do not want this amnesty plan. This would ultimately lead to even more illegal immigration if this were to pass, because it would reward these illegals as they would stay in our country and be eligible to receive social services legally.

Thanks for the explanation on trackbacks. Is linking back through comments, as I've done here a couple of times, an acceptable practice?

As long as it's on-topic and not overused. Don't do what I occasionally do elsewhere.

President Bush could solve the border problem by outsourcing our vegtable needs or raising the minimum wage to $10.00. If we outsourced our vegtable needs, we could sell to Mexico water from the Colorado river which we have choked off from going into Mexico. If we paid a living wage we could find someone to do those Mexican jobs. Bush's friends are the only ones profiting from op9ur border problem
