Worker Oppression = Reform

President Bush Resumes Immigration Reform Push

President Bush has renewed his push for immigration reform. On Monday, the President said he would call for a temporary guest-work program and massive fines for those seeking citizenship. The announcement came two days after tens of thousands of immigrants and immigrant rights advocates held a massive rally in Los Angeles. Bush spoke at the U.S. border crossing with Mexico in Yuma, Arizona.

President Bush: "Congress is going to take up the legislation on immigration. This is a matter of national interest and it is a matter of deep conviction for me. I've been working to bring Republicans and Democrats together to resolve outstanding issues so that congress can pass a comprehensive bill and I can sign it into law this year."

I expect better of DN, yet you continue to adopt the language of the oppressors.

Since when is driving down US wages by bringing in people who will work for lower wages "Reform"?

Since when is driving down wages in Mexico by destroying the Mexican economy with US imperialism "Reform"?
