Guest worker programs debated

The San Francisco Chronicle talks today about California senator Dianne Feinstein’s beef with the current guest worker bill:
“I do not believe you can have a guest worker come for three years, renew it for another three years, bring their family, settle in, put children in schools, and then they’re going to turn around and go back at the end of six years,” Feinstein said. “It doesn’t happen. They disappear. And that’s the problem. That’s the rub. That’s the magnet.”
So Feinstein is splitting with her party, and wants immigrants to truly be “guests”…meaning they’ll leave forever at some point.
Mexico Needs PR

Mexico’s looking to shine up its image in the eyes of the U.S. and it’s going to do it through the age-old craft of Public Relations:
Fed up with the drumbeat of news stories about drug wars, police corruption, border mayhem and illegal immigration, the government of Mexico has followed a time-honored course for anyone seeking an image makeover: It’s hired a PR firm.
Rob Allyn, a prominent Dallas public-relations craftsman who helped shape Mexican President Vicente Fox’s stunning election victory in 2000, now shoulders the burden of pushing aside a largely negative U.S. perception of Mexico as a land of drug lords and economic hardship.
