World Magazine had a good article by John Dawson, about the illegal immigrant problem in the U.S. A guest worker program would only increase the amount of illegal immigration because of it's endurance test-like nature. You stay here for three years without getting caught, you get to become legal. I love immigration, I love this country letting people come in and start a legacy with very little religous, economical, or social persecution. I love hard working people trying to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, like the man in this article. The problem occurs when we make it hard for the people to come over, so they come illegally. Then we keep letting them come illegally and make it easier for them. We've got to address the problem so that we encourage hard work, and discourage the drug trafficking circus.

That is exactly what we're trying to do with the temporary worker program: make an easier, legal way for immigrants to work in the US. Imagine how much more difficult it would be to simplify the current process of legal immigration. So it brings more people in, so what? We don't mind more people, we just don't want them being here illegally. I'm not against hard-working people and the bootstraps and all that, but I am against people entering a country illegally and then demanding rights as if they had any.
Hi, I enjoyed your article on immigration, I think this is a very important dialogue to have and that Bloggers are making the climate very democratic. Feel free to look at some of my posts on the issue at my blog www.debaterelatepontificate.blogspot.com
