That's the Dennis Hastert I'm used to hearing... I hope he sticks by that and doesn't give in to pressure.

I don't see why you're giving Hastert any kudos. He's claiming that "amnesty changes the rules" and "short-circuits the system" yet it doesn't seem to bother him one dang bit that allowing illegal aliens to remain here (with or without some "blue card") also changes the rules and short circuits the system. It sounds to me like he's just spewing more B.S.

And just how do you propose rounding up and deporting 8-10 million people who don't want to be found?

He does appear to support a temporary worker program, which I do not. But at least he's saying no to Bush's idea of granting citizenship to illegals after the fact, which is a major component of the plan.

What it looks like he's open to is a guest worker program along the lines that Tancredo has proposed.
