Guest worker programs under fire from big labor
http://www.kxlf.com/Global/story.asp?S=4695561
CAPITOL HILL The usual alliances aren't holding as the Senate begins debate on the hot-button immigration issue.
In a split with longtime Democratic allies, the AFL-CIO is criticizing plans to expand guest worker programs for illegal immigrants. Union chief John Sweeney says guest worker programs "are a bad idea and harm all workers."
There's also division with the G-O-P on the immigration issue. The Republican-controlled House approved a bill that doesn't include a guest worker program. President Bush has repeatedly stressed he wants that to be part of any immigration measure. Some other Republicans also support a guest-worker program, but it is not part of a bill proposed by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. His bill focuses on border security and is the bill the senate begins debating today.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
