The latest proposal in Congress for a "guest"-worker program would allow unlimited immigration of eligible workers during the first three years and allow them and their families to remain here indefinitely.Both John Boehner and - naturally - Bill Frist have expressed hopes for the massive amnesty scheme.
Offered by two Republicans [Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison], the plan is criticized by proponents of stricter immigration laws. They say the program would tilt the nation's immigration system toward millions of uneducated, unskilled workers...
Under the Pence-Hutchison plan -- a variation on a proposal Mr. Pence floated earlier this summer -- the expansive "guest"-worker program would not begin until the president certified that the border had been secured. Only then would laborers matched with willing employers at an "Ellis Island Center" outside the United States be admitted indefinitely.
...Detractors are skeptical that President Bush would provide an honest assessment of border security and questioned the commitment of Mr. Pence and Mrs. Hutchison to tough immigration laws and stricter borders...

the question is will any American be a citizens or will this non nation be on the map 20 years FROM NOW? this nation will be disappeared into the third world hell.

And once they become citizens some years from now, they can even bring their aged parents to the US, where, thanks to the ACLU, they will qualify for SSI as soon as they gain permanent status even though they have never paid a dime into the US tax system. Most legal immigration is some form of family reunification - "some foreigner's dependent relative" as JSB says so clearly.

That is a traitorous and dishonest proposal. How are they to honestly be called guest workers who are just some foreigner's dependent relative, and when they can stay indefinitely?
Why doesn't Pence realize that he owes loyalty to the net taxpayer of this nation, not to increase such foreign aggression upon him, as the so-called guest workers flop onto net public subsidy.
they are almost guaranteed to do so, in that they've been chosen for low wage pliability, while invited to seize the chance to throw relatives on to the subsidies.
