Guest Worker Program Legislation Update
Guest Worker Program Legislation Update
President Bush, business and labor groups, and politicians from both parties, including Senators Ted Kennedy, D-Massachusetts and John McCain, R-Ariziona are promoting legislation that would let undocumented immigrants work legally in the United States.

While President Bush would prefer legislation that allows guest workers to work for a maximum of six years, then return to their home country
