The National Border Patrol Council, which represents all 9,000 of the Border Patrolīs nonsupervisory agents, has told its members to challenge President Bushīs proposed guest-worker program, calling it a "slap in the face to anyone who has ever tried to enforce the immigration laws of the United States."
The agents are told in a letter from Vice President John Frecker that the proposal offered last week during a White House press conference "implies that the country really wasnīt serious about" immigration enforcement in the first place.
"Hey, you know all those illegal aliens you risked 'life and limbī to apprehend? FAH-GED-ABOWD-IT," said Mr. Frecker, a veteran Border Patrol agent. "President Bush has solved the problem. Donīt be confused and call this an 'amnesty,ī even though those who are here illegally will suddenly become legal and will be allowed to stay here.
