Apologies in advance if this is flamebait.

I read this proposal from Bush, and just couldn't help but imagine hordes of vertically-challenged ratio-tuners invading America and taking our jobs. I couldn't help but think that this will make H1-B seem like the good old days. I wish it were a joke. All I can do is take consolation in the hope that it will piss off everybody from conservative Republicans to bleeding-heart liberals to Juan in the lettuce fields and fade away as a political mis-step.

Same newspaper, spin-doctored as to whether it would affect us technoweenies: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/nation/20040107-1215-bush-immigration.html

We can't really know until it turns into legislation.
