NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is no bobo. He knows how vital immigrants are to the success and survival of the five boroughs he watches over. That’s why today Bloomberg is headed to the City of Brotherly love aka Philadelphia to testify in favor of the guest worker program at a Senate Judiciary Committee. The guest worker (please don’t call it amnesty) program allows undocumented workers to stay in the U.S. working and includes a path to citizenship. According to NY1 Bloomberg said:

The truth of the matter is we need lots of immigrants to come into this country every year. Our birth rate is not high enough to sustain the growth in the economy that we need.

This comes as the mass media is reporting that President Bush may be backing down from his immigration reform plan and may be looking at beefing up the enforcement of immigration laws as priority.
