Stranger is the argument that while we lack the resources and "cannot set up border guard towers every 500 feet" we will have the resources to do background checks and follow up on perhaps millions of "guest" workers.
I am not saying we should set up such towers but how can a GOPer argue they cannot increase the security of the borders while at the same time argue to increase the resources to monitor people once they have reached base and tagged in as "safe"!
In this case secruing our borders does not garner votes while "monitoring" those that made it past our security does.
I am not even touching on the its a post 9/11 world in which we should use more not less of our INS resources to monitor unfriendlies rather than cheap labor.
Its up to us to push the party right.
