I think it is a political mistake on his part. Gives to the Dems a wonderful issue if they will only exploit it properly. On Bush's right is Pat Buchanan who is against it and the Dems should get the trade unions to organize against it and make common cause with Pat Buchanan Republicans.
It's union bashing and a way to keep a cap on wage rates. Could be seen as part of the race to the bottom for *some* Americans. Let's say for those in the bottom half of the economy. arthur -----Original Message----- From: Brad McCormick, Ed.D.

Or decent sensible policy? What does everyone think: Is Bush's amnesty program for illegal immigrant workers really a way to fill jobs here in the US that no American wants, and to provide the immigrant workers with rights and a more decent life? Or is it another way to reduce American labor costs by increasing competition from persons who are willing to work under worse conditions and for less? Trade union busting? Or civic union enhancing? Could Bush actualy be doing something constructive? What do you think? \brad mccormick -- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works....
