President Bush will send two Cabinet secretaries before Congress today to try to boost his guest-worker proposal, but momentum in Congress has shifted from broad reform, like his, to a law-enforcement crackdown.
Mr. Bush has called for allowing new foreign workers and current illegal aliens to enter a temporary-worker program that would require them to return home eventually. The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao offers the chance to regain the initiative for that plan.
