(2006-03-24) — President George Bush today defended his controversial guest worker immigration proposal contending that without the policy, the United States will soon have no way of accomplishing many unpleasant tasks such as harvesting vegetables, cleaning rooms, mowing yards, installing roofing and answering questions from veteran reporter Helen Thomas.
“There are some things that Americans, perhaps justifiably, feel they shouldn’t have to do,” said Mr. Bush. “We’ve relied on immigrants to do the grunt work for years, and the way things are going at White House news conferences, we could use one of them guest workers to deal with Helen.”
“Who wants to crouch in the sun all day, or scrub filthy toilets, do boring repetitive tasks or try to talk over Helen Thomas?” the president asked rhetorically. “We can’t send these dirty jobs overseas, so like it or not, we’re just going to have to let illegal aliens do them.”
The president cautioned that his guest worker program offers no guarantee that illegal aliens could be found to do every tedious and futile job in America.
