Trump Morphing into George W. Bush
Timothy Birdnow
Donald Trump, recently accused of calling for an amnesty for illegal aliens after suggesting long-term aliens in America should be allowed to work, has backpeddled, now saying he's not in favor of amnesty but of a work program for laborers. Hmmm. Where have we heard this before?
Oh yes; George W. Bush promoted this same idea. He called it a "guest worker program" which was the same thing.
Most of us opposed it at the time because we all knew how it would play out; these "guest workers" would be here a year or two then want to stay and we'd acquisce. There would be talk of a need for a "path to citizenship" since these people were living here anyway and doing the "work Americans just won't do". In the end you have a backdoor amnesty.
also, it creates a serf class. It's much like the Romans importing Germans to do the work "Romans just won't do" and then being amazed when the Germans took over.
We understood this then. Now Mr. Trump is trying to bring back this moldy oldy.
From the Blaze article:
I am loathe to listen to a labor secretary named Chavez, I might add. Anyone remember Hugo Chavez? Or the commie labor leader Cesar Chavez?
If we are going to do a "work program" what is to stop these folks from just leaving and hiding inside the U.S.? Nothing. At a minimum they should have to have an ankle monitor like someone under house arrest; you can't let them take these jobs and expect them to go home at the end of a season or whatnot. They won't do it, and the Democrats won't let it happen.
And once here getting them out will be a real bear.
The fact is the Democrats will fight tooth and nail to keep them here once they are in the country. And they will fight to eventually give them citizenship and the vote. Oh, and use them to increase their numbers in the census so they can hold more House seats.
Also, Trump will only be here four years. The left will simply wait it out and then use this guest worker program to begin refilling the country with aliens to offer amnesty and "a path to citizenship".
Mr. Trump is making a horribly foolish error. He often mocked the Bush family, and yet he's planning to implement the same policies that Bush wanted. Bush had to withdraw that plan because of a public backlash. Let us hope Trump does the same.

From the Blaze article:
President Donald Trump denied that his administration was exploring an amnesty program for illegal aliens after reports of a whisper campaign advocating the controversial policy emerged.
The president made the comments during a media briefing with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins when asked about the possibility of an amnesty program.
'We got to work with the farmers and people that have hotels and leisure properties too. We're going to work with them, and we're going to work very strong and smart.'
"There's no amnesty," said the president. "What we're doing is we're getting rid of criminals, but we are doing a work program."
"This morning we talked about protecting the farmers and the farmland, but obviously this president's vision of no amnesty, mass deportation continues," Rollins explained, "but in a strategic way, and then ensuring that our farmers have the labor that they need."
"[Labor] Sec. Chavez-DeRemer has been a leader on this. Obviously this comes out of the Labor Department, but moving toward automation, ensuring that our farmers have that workforce, and moving toward an American workforce. So all of the above," she added.
