Save more than
Chronic Bush-bashing Syndrome, endemic at the Times, results in focusing on Bush instead of examining the issue. It is a technical matter; the editorial presents only the Farmworkers' Union POV. It is fatuous to promote the "bipartisan" AJOBS Act as as a solution. Emphasis on a path to citizenship for temporary workers makes it a non-starter -- it violates the priority of our immigration concerns. We can't debate citizenship for temporary workers before resolving the regularization of longterm undocumented residents, a necessary precedent to meaningful workplace enforcement with the Employment Eligibility Verification System.

Lets get this straight; the LA Times is against the guest worker programs that allow people to work here and then go back home, although guest workers seek higher wages instead of a better life. The Times want them to stay so badly that it validates the arguments of the opponents of illegal immigration, those racists, xenophobes, etc. This drive to increase the Mexican voting population in this country cannot explained by the needs of the illegal workers, the farmers, and certainty not by the taxpayers. I conclude that there is a sadio-masochistic need by the LA Times to share the California experience with the rest of the country.

GWB has again poisoned the well to the detriment of the people he is supposed to be serving. And he probably doesn't even know it.

GWB is not content with the damage he has done, now he is poisoning the well. Let's get all the publicity we can for these events so people will know the mean spirited people who are the "backbone" of the Republican party.
