Loose Lips Start Trips
When President Bush announced his "guest worker" plan for immigrants it was the typical unintended consequences speech. The Federation for American Immigration Reform, under the Freedom of Information Act, recently received over 1,000 pages related to a survey that the government tried to withhold. Story here.
Of the illegal aliens that were arrested & surveyed, 45% said they came to the USA upon hearing rumors of Bush's proposal for "amnesty". They took the trip north hoping to get in while the getting was good. A similar situation occurred in the 80's when amnesty was given to 3 million. There was a sudden rush to the US border as a result.
The President & other government officials need to be careful in what they say. They are sending a message that it is time to pack the bags & take the trip to Los Estados Unidos. As a result, the country has even more illegal aliens to deal with.
