Guest Worker Equals Surrender J. D. Hayworth Nails It Lou Dobbs Tonight - CNN - December 22 Kitty Pilgrim: Do you really think the guest worker program is defacto amnesty for anyone who is here in the United States? Hayworth: Kitty, undoubtedly, guest worker equals amnesty equals surrender.

Because if we fail to take action, I fear that the House passed Sensenbrenner bill when we return at the start of the new year by February I fear it will simply be vehicle for a guest worker/amnesty plan.
