So we had. I thought. a very well balanced bill until we added a guest worker program. In other words. the bill strengthened the border in one section. created a pathway for the undocumented immigrants currently in the country. and thenaddressed one area. agriculture. where we know we need these workers and set up a very carefully tailored program. The bill also made adjustments for highly skilled workers such as engineers. and fixed some of the visa programs. So I thought that was a fairly balanced bill. Then what happened is. another piece was added. which is this really openended guest worker program which. in my opinion. will result in a permanent underclass of workers coming into our country.
