The president speaks:

From his remarks of 7 January 2004:

If an American employer is offering a job that American citizens are not willing to take, we ought to welcome into our country a person who will fill that job.

Deconstruct:

• WHO IS BEING HELPED?
  If an American employer is offering a job that American citizens are not willing to take, we ought to welcome into our country a person who will fill that job.
  
  
• WHO IS NOT BEING HELPED?
  If an American employer is offering a job that American citizens are not willing to take, we ought to welcome into our country a person who will fill that job.
  
  
• WHAT IS THE POINT OF ISSUE?
  If an American employer is offering a job that American citizens are not willing to take, we ought to welcome into our country a person who will fill that job.
  
  
• WHAT IS ANOTHER WAY OF DESCRIBING IT?
  If an American employer is offering a crummy job, we ought to welcome into our country a person who will fill that job.
  
  
• INSTEAD OF ALLOWING THE CITIZEN WORK-FORCE TO USE ITS ECONOMIC POWER IN NEGOTIATING FOR A GOOD JOB, BUSH SAYS:
  If an American employer is offering a crummy job, we ought to welcome into our country a person who will fill that job.

SUMMARY: Bush is proposing a program that deprives American workers economic power by allowing businesses to bring in anybody to work at dirt-cheap rates.

Can anything be more clear?
