Bush Eyes Legal Status for Alien Workers

Quote:

A plan being proposed by President Bush (news - web sites) would give legal status to foreign workers, including millions already toiling in America's underground economy, removing the fear of deportation but not putting them on a fast track toward permanent U.S. residency.




Tricky tricky move. Will the theoretical benefit of the "latino vote" offset the negative backlash this is sure to create among conservatives and some of the more um.."nativist" elements out there.
