If Trump's critics say that he must moderate his position on immigration -- for example, should accept a solution that is based upon guest workers -- then I wish they'd explain about that enchilada Mexico is expecting.

The Bush family had worked out the details more than a decade ago. And this is what it was. Sound familiar? Like immigration "reform"?

• there had to be regularization,
  • a concept that Foreign Minister Jorge G. Castañeda says must allow Mexican immigrants to
    • obtain driver's licenses,
    • Social Security cards and
    • resident tuition at colleges.
  • Mexican officials knew better than to say amnesty.

Castañeda imposed the requirement that

• any comprehensive agreement on border safety and
• guest workers must
  • include regularization for illegal workers.
  • "It's the whole enchilada, or nothing," Mr. Castañeda said.
