 STORY: Bush Speech Transcript

The president supports a temporary worker program that would create a legal path for foreign workers to enter the U.S. in an orderly way, for a limited period of time. This program would match willing foreign workers with willing American employers for jobs Americans are not doing. Every worker who applies for the program would be required to pass criminal background checks, and temporary workers must return to their home country at the conclusion of their stay.
