PHOENIX -- The president's plan for an expanded guest worker program is really amnesty for those who broke the law by coming here illegally, Congressman J.D. Hayworth said Tuesday.
Hayworth criticized the call Monday by President Bush to make a new guest worker program part of any plan to deal with the problems of illegal border crossers. The six-term Republican congressman said new programs should not even be considered until the border is secure.
Bush wants not only to expand existing programs but also to allow those here illegally to remain for up to six years if they already are employed.
The president insisted in his Tucson speech none of this amounts to amnesty. But Hayworth isn't buying it.
