Interview of First Lady Laura Bush by Telemundo

Q Your husband already proposed an immigration plan. But some
people think that it's not good to allow illegal people to work here in
the United States. What do you think?
MRS. BUSH: I think it's really very important. I'm very proud of
his immigration plan that he's come up with. It's terrible for people
who are illegal here. They can suffer a lot of exploitation if they
are involved in any way in -- if they are exploited in any way, it's
very difficult for them to go to the authorities in the United States,
because they're illegal here.
So I think it's a very important move to give workers who are here
who are employed a chance to have a temporary employment visa and be
able to work here. And then that allows them to go back and forth to
their homes, wherever their homes are, without fear of not being able
to get back into the United States after their vacation or their visit
with their family. So I think it's a very important step and I hope
the Congress will work with the President to come up with an
immigration policy that's safe for immigrants, for people who come to
the United States, as well as economically beneficial for American
employers.

Q This proposal, immigration proposal, is going to be really
good for Mexico.
MRS. BUSH: Well, I hope so. I think it will be really good for
the United States. And that's the point. But we're going to need to
work very closely with our Congress to make sure that this immigration
policy passes. There's a long road ahead still. And it's important
for all of us to work together on this.
