    With cronies in handcuffs, new urgency displayed by Rove
    Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Times once again gets it wrong, wrong, wrong

    Even with his growing ethics troubles, presidential advisor Karl Rove has stepped up pressure on Congress to "reform" immigration policy. The Bush Administration, according to a Sept 23 "Los Angeles Times piece, wants Congress to pass a "guest worker program that would temporarily legalize the status of millions of illegal workers," i.e., an amnesty.

    The White House describes the Bush plan as "comprehensive" and "realistic."

    It counts as comprehensive because, first, it prevents future "labor shortages" by implementing the oft-stated George Bush goal of matching any willing worker anywhere in the world with any willing U.S. employer. Like an alcoholic who avoids ever needing another drink by ensuring he always has a full case of vodka on hand, the Bush/Wall Street Journal immigration policy provides against future labor "needs" by setting the immigration spigots at wide open.

    Second, and providing its comprehensiveness, the bill simultaneously solves the problem of what to do with the millions of illegal aliens already in the United States. It calls them something else. Illegal aliens, under the Bush guest worker amnesty, would henceforth be known as "guest workers," and presto! illegal alien problem solved.

    Making the Bush plan realistic on top of comprehensive is the plan's somber recognition we've been beat. Illegal aliens are here to stay, the Bush plan says in its best grown-up voice, regardless of our wishes, regardless of our laws, regardless of our well-being. Just admit they're not going anywhere and let's everybody stop throwing these strident little tantrums.

    But that sounds just like granting a blanket amnesty and eliminating the borders, someone might venture. Aren't Americans, like, 99% opposed to that?

    Opening the borders to the world will make our borders more secure, Wall Street Journal Republicans (seriously) argue, because once people no longer need to sneak into the United States, but can walk right through the front gate in broad daylight, we'll suddenly have the enormous advantage of knowing that they are here.

    Furthermore, the Bush plan is notâ€â€

    "shortage"

    What this seems to mean is an inability to find experienced workers willing to line up for employer selection at American minimum wage.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
