Since hearing the plan for treating illegal immigrants as "guest" workers, I now have undergone a complete reversal in my understanding of the proper meaning of words.
I stupidly used to believe that the definition of "guest" is one who is invited. Now I'm told this is no longer correct.
For instance, if a burglar breaks into my home, he really becomes a guest who is only looking for a better life. Because he broke in for that reason, I must accept the obligation to provide health care, education, transportation, and living quarters.
I feel so much better now.
