U.S. guest worker plan survives « Thread Started on May 22, 2007, 11:57pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------read at source> http://edition.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/05 ... WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate on Tuesday defeated a measure that would have eliminated a guest worker program from the bipartisan immigration legislation announced last week.The amendment, introduced by North Dakota Democratic Sen. Byron Dorgan, was rejected with a 64-31 vote. The immigration bill would offer the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants now in the United States a path to citizenship, boost border controls and establish a guest worker program that would grant two-year residency for up to 400,000 people. (Watch one Republican invoke "Schoolhouse Rock" and another get booed )It is the result of a deal struck after nearly three months of bipartisan talks and was endorsed by the White House last week.But some Democrats don't like the guest worker program because they think it drives down wages for American workers and creates a permanent underclass of immigrant workers.
