Encyclopdia Americana
Bush's job-training and foreign markets programs were less ambitious in scope. In a related matter Bush proposed establishing a foreign "guest worker" program that would provide legal status for up to 10 million Mexicans seeking work in the United States. Mexico's leaders welcomed the initiative, whereas many unemployed Americans seemed less sure about its merits. |

There already is a guest worker program! People just would prefer to hire illegals rather than documented Mexican workers.

How could a person not know? He paraded it around like a newborn. As usual though, his followers were too short sighted to catch the implications until it became an issue.

"Amnesty"? Please provide a quote from Bush, or a piece of legislation that he supports where there is automatic "amnesty". "Guest Worker" programs require the guest to leave. It also forces them to turn themselves in for registration. |

It didn't matter. Everyone who doesn't like it either:
A) held their nose and voted for him anyway because he was less bad than Gore B) didn't think he'd manage to get Congress to act on it C) thought it was an empty promise to get elected D) didn't know about it. |

Yes, and not ONE of those say anything about "amnesty" or a guest worker program. He was courting votes from citizens. Citizens who happen to be Latino. Every politician airs Spanish ads. ALL of them. You are engaging in GROSS misdirection. Perhaps even dishonesty. I have to wonder why. Why would you sacrifice your integrity? Why are you claiming something, then providing evidence that you assert supports that claim, when in fact it does not? What is your agenda that would cause you to lie? I don't like the label, but "racist" comes to mind. You parade ads in Spanish and say "ergo" he's courting illegals. That's not sound reasoning. |

There are plenty of folks who are not opposed to a carrot/stick immigration policy (eg 'Guest Worker' program to increase LEGAL immigration, combined with a crackdown on illegal immigration)... This is basically what was being proposed originally... The Dems are using the protests to push for full amnesty, another issue... |

He doesnt say amnesty. He says a temporary worker program for non citrizens already in the country. Sounds Like a free pass or translated amnesty
Whitehouse press release Link From the white house "This program," the president said in announcing the plan, "will offer legal status, as temporary workers, to the millions of undocumented men and women now employed in the United States and to those in foreign countries who seek to participate in the program and have been offered employment here." Undocumented workers now here will be required to pay a one-time fee to register for the temporary worker program. Those who seek to join the program from abroad, and have complied with our immigration laws, will not have to pay any fee. All participants will be issued a temporary worker card that will allow them to travel back and forth between their home and the United States without fear of being denied re-entry into our country. (Applause.) ETA to add that ^^^^ l looks like an amnesty walks like an amnety Smells like an amnesty too |

Same Link Same Press release
Guess you have your SELECTIVE READING GLASSES ON! Some temporary workers will make the decision to pursue American citizenship. Those who make this choice will be allowed to apply in the normal way. They will not be given unfair advantage over people who have followed legal procedures from the start. I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship. Granting amnesty encourages the violation of our laws, and perpetuates illegal immigration. America is a welcoming country, but citizenship must not be the automatic reward for violating the laws of America. (Applause.) Usually in Immigration (my wife immigrated here I know what Im talking about) You need to apply from YOUR OWN HOME COUNTRY. You are not allowed to come here and apply from here |

That's unfortunate. Your immature little photoshop job does not restore your damaged integrity. Nor does it insult me. You are a man without honor. How could YOU insult me? You're like a homeless man grumbling from the gutter. I look down as I pass, I am torn between feelings of disgust and pity. I call you a liar, because you say things that are not true. I'm sorry that you have become so bitter and filled with hatred for Bush, that you have decided to sacrifice your integrity. And your honor. It is so sad. I feel sorry for you. |

No we wont call it an amnesty. We will just forget about the law that says being here illegally bans you for applying for citizenship for 10 years. And if your here illegally now. We will give you a temporary green card. And If your employed you can apply for citizenship regardless of your previous status. Oh excuse me. You r right its not amnesty. Its amnesty with rewards |

So sad. You should talk to someone about this. Once your integrity is gone, it's gone forever. I'm sure you think that your hatred and bile justifies tossing your honor into the trash, but I think you'll regret it later in life. I'm afraid you're going to have a tough time regaining your honor. Look at how weak you've been thus far. It's all downhill from here. Drug addiction, homelessness, worse. I wouldn't surprised in a few years, if you find yourself peddling your ass for crack cocaine. It's the road you've chosen. I pity you. |

None of the Spanish videos he presented say what he claims. Pathetic.

What low self esteem you must have, to consider honesty and the placing of value on one's honor to be "arrogance". No wonder you find it so effortless to toss yours into the trash. Try this... Set a goal for yourself. See if you can go for an entire day without lying. Try to avoid the news, newspapers, etc., because it's clear that Bush is a "trigger" for these episodes of yours. One day at a time. |

Please dont tell my wife She got her citizenship last year And shes asian I have found your attempts at amateur psychology amusing. Since its obvious you have studied a couple of chapters of Dr. Phil. You should KNow that trying to project your failures as a Human onto me may give you some sense of redemption. But at the end of the day its just you alone with your loser self. Please dont do anything self destructive. Not that I would care |

So sad. You get caught telling lies again and again, and this is how you react? Lashing out at those around you, accusing others of YOUR faults, your weaknesses. The first step is taking responsibility for your own words and deeds. You need to IM everyone who participated in this thread, and apologize to them. That will take a tremendous burden from you narrow, spindly shoulders. Again, try to take this one day at a time. Make a pledge to yourself not to tell any lies. If you make it through this one day, try then to do it tommorrow. You can do it. |

So to you then, Spanish speakers are automatically "illegals"? That's what you imply. Spanish ads = "courting illegals".
Backtracking from your claims (title of the thread) "that Bush wanted a guest worker program and amnesty"? That's not quite the same thing as telling the truth. That's revisionism. My God, you don't know the difference between the truth and a lie.... So sad. You should talk to somebody about this. |
