The Bush administration and business leaders continue their push to expand their so-called guest worker program. They say foreign workers will do jobs Americans won't do, and a guest worker program would assure border security. Critics now say those programs encourage businesses to replace Americans with foreign workers who work for lower wages. The national unemployment rate for black men is 8.3 percent, compared to Hispanic men at 5.4 percent and white men at 4.5 percent. For black male high school dropouts in their 20s, an astounding 72 percent are jobless. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said: "To have a large segment of our society just not having any jobs whatsoever is a real problem for the whole of society." Schumer does not support the guest worker provisions proposed last year because it would bring in tens of thousands of foreign workers to compete with Americans who are already struggling to find work. Frank Morris of the Diversity Alliance said: "Outrage is a benign term for what's happening. We're the only country in the world that gives a preference for non-citizens over our own citizens."
