While most of the media and President Bush are thumping their chests
over the capture of Saddam Hussein, there was a very interesting
question-and-answer that didn't get much attention.

Bush affirmed his support for a guest-worker program and he believes
that companies have a right to import foreign labor.

Most of you on this mailing list are probably aware that Bush supports
unlimited H-1B visas, but if this is new to you, visit this webpage to

On first impression you might think that Bush's pledge to allow foreign
workers into the US will merely allow illegal aliens to take farm jobs.
First impressions are often wrong so don't be fooled. In the
guest-worker bills being proposed to Congress, most of them will allow
all types of workers, both blue and white-collar, into this country in
unlimited numbers.

Bush's libertarian vision is our worst nightmare because he is setting
up a "Global Labor Auction". If you don't what I'm talking about, read

Q In that case, sir, can I follow up on something unrelated?
(Laughter.) Tom Ridge recently seemed to discuss something you had
talked about pre-9/11, and that is finding a way to legalize some of
the illegal immigrants in this country. Could you clarify your policy,
what it is, short of blanket amnesty?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, first of all, I have constantly said that we need
to have a immigration policy that helps match any willing employer with
any willing employee. It makes sense that that policy go forward. And
we're in the process of working that through now so I can make a
recommendation to the Congress.

Let me also clarify something. This administration is firmly against
blanket amnesty.
