Bush: Creating immigration problems where there are none.

You don't have to look far to see how inept the Bush Administration is in running our Federal Government. The latest fiasco in the making is the abrupt withdrawing of tens of thousands of job based visas.

a terse announcement on Monday in which the State Department said it would not grant any more visas for the 2007 fiscal year to foreigners applying to become permanent residents based on their job skills. That notice reversed one the department had issued on June 13 announcing a two-month window starting July 2 for aspiring, high-skilled immigrants from around the world to present applications for visas known as green cards. - New York Times

These are visa's of people who are trying to enter the country legally. Something which should be encouraged. Instead the Bush Administration pulls the rug out from under them. How stupid can the Bush administration be? Well pretty stupid as we all know. Especially when some of their arguments for the passing the Senate Immigration Bill included the need for these workers.
Here is what those apply for the visa have would have had to do had the Bush Administration not closed the door in their face:

To apply, immigrants must undergo medical examinations and assemble documents to prove their job skills and show that a United States employer has sponsored them. Foreigners must be in the United States when they present their applications, which are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sounds like an great immigration plan as opposed to the Amnesty plan they proposed in the Senate Bill. But, not for the Bush Administration. Instead of enforcing our immigration laws on those who entered the United States illegally the Bush administration is making it harder for those who want to be here legally. Welcome to Bushworld!
