American Nursery and Landscape Association: green thumbs up for Bush immigration plan

The American Nursery and Landscape Association joins the other groups issuing press communiques relating to Bush's SOTU speech, in which he (for the umpteenth time) promoted a "guest" worker plan and amnesty for illegal aliens. As can be expected, the press release doesn't say anything, but for completeness' sake here are the thoughts of John Farner, ANLA's director of legislative relations:

"After years of advocating for comprehensive immigration reform, we are very encouraged by the amount of time and focus that President Bush gives to finding a workable solution to the problem... With his leadership, we are confident that Congress can follow the principles laid out by the President and pass comprehensive immigration reform this year... With Congress addressing the H-2B cap each year, along with continuing to show strong support for AgJOBS, we need a comprehensive solution that addresses both our seasonal and year-round employment needs... What the President has laid out is a workable framework to allow us to fix both the current temporary worker programs and create new programs that will ensure our economy and our borders secure. It's time for our industry to join the President and renew our call for comprehensive immigration reform."

My solution: just mow your own lawn.

I worked in that business about 45 years ago as a young person loved it, but now you will only find hispanic in that business, oh yes some-time's a white guy that own's it or some guy who has a hispanic wife, but isn't it interesting when 90 percent are hispanics, and yes most are not Americans but are from all areas of the hispanic third world, so yes most would have thumbs up for mexico and bush rat.
