How can that system even take 2 to 300.000 people in a guest worker program and do the background check processing to make sure that the people coming in as guest workers are safe for our American citizens? Even that number. what will that do to the background checks being required? And lets not forget that we also require that every person wishing to come into the United States as an immigrant must have a medical exam to make sure that they are not bringing communicable diseases or other illnesses into this country that we want to prevent from coming into this country. Without even going into the possibility of a pandemic if there should become an avian flu pandemic from the avian flu virus. and it is estimated there could be the death of 200 million people as a result. let us just look at the fact that the World Health Organization has told us that there is a strain of tuberculosis in Mexico and South America that right now we cant cure with our existing drugs to stop tuberculosis because it has mutated to a point we cannot cure this form of tuberculosis. How do we know about the health of these people that are here and those people wanting to come here in the program that the Senate has?
