So that means it is temporary. right? Wrong. All you have to do is read the language of the bill. and as Senator KYL and Senator CORNYN have pointed out. and you discover that the first day the temporary workers are here they can apply for a green card through their employer. And what is a green card? It makes them a legal. permanent resident. Permanent resident. not a temporary guest workers. Five years after that green card is issued. they are entitled to apply for citizenship. every single one of them that enter under this socalled temporary provision. That is the truth. but it is not the message we are being told. Earlier today I thought about offering an amendment or a resolution to bar anyone in the Senate from using the phrase "temporary guest worker" when they talk about this bill because it is so bogus.
