Now you can sit there and act like I'm just hating on Bush, but I don't know the guy...I'm just writing what I heard on the news--not saying whether it's good or bad

What news was that? I have a few followup questions:
1. Was this a specific OK to hire illegals, or is it the generally accepted wink and a nod that nothing will be done to these "employers" just like every other contractor, landscaper, meat packer, and farm in this country?
2. Which background/record checks are being suspended?
3. What is a prevailing wage?
btw, I'll sit here and hate on Bush, and I'll say that I think this is bad
....well except for the background check and prevailing wage part.
