The Washington Times Op-Ed
Shortly after the September 11 attacks, President Bush put aside his illegal alien guest-worker proposal to focus his energies on counterterrorism and homeland security. He brought the proposal back in January, but Congress killed it. Last Tuesday, the president indicated he would jump-start it yet again. In Mexico on Wednesday, Secretary of State Colin Powell also vowed to press ahead. This was a bad idea then, and it's a bad idea now. The president should drop the effort.
