Bush's original "guest" worker scheme revealed

Margaret Spellings describes how Bush's original "guest" worker scheme would be open to *everyone*, specifically mentioning nurses, teachers, and high-tech workers. In brief, president Bush wanted to open (most of) the U.S. labor market to the world, including (previously) middle-class occupations. Oddly enough, the Democrats completely failed to highlight Bush's disastrous, anti- and un-American plans during the 2004 elections. If they had, John Kerry would be president today.

So, why didn't they discuss Bush's horrific scheme?

(Note: at the time, Spellings was a domestic policy assistant; now she's Secretary of Education.)

From CIO Magazine

"Daniel Soong, who lost his programming job to Indian offshore companies, is willing to relocate to India. But Indian officials have told him they don't hire Americans.

"It would be really interesting to work in Bangalore," he says. "But I was told, 'Daniel, it is against the law for you to work here. You can come here on vacation, but you can't work here."

Go to Americans for Better Immigration web site and look the the voting records.

John Kerry has a grade of D. He is in favor of this crap. Most Democrats are for open labor and borders. Al Gore is the exception. I have always voted democrat and will vote republian in 2008 for Tom Tancredo.
