Resolution
Opposition to Bush’s Guest
worker Program
WHEREAS, President Bush’s
proposed guest worker program would resemble the
old Bracero Program; and
WHEREAS, one
aspect of President Bush’s proposal would be to
bring in guest workers for 3 years only without
any promise of legalization; and
WHEREAS,
President Bush’s proposal would create a captive
labor force subject to exportation; and
WHEREAS, this
would be a re-enactment of the old Bracero
Program, Public law 78 that was terminated by
President Kennedy in 1963.”
THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED that the importation of guest
workers for 3 years as in President Bush’s
proposal is not in the best interests of Latinos
and will not be supported.
Adopted this 10th day of July
2004.
