This is a good program, tho' I don't know that it's that easy to stop illegal immigration at the border. The only thing I don't agree with is forcing those that have jobs to go back to apply for guest-worker status -- that seems unnecessaary and wastful to me.

This was just the summary version of the various bills that make up Tancredo's proposals on the issue. Though I'm not a fan of any guest worker program, Tancredo's is far superiour to that of Bush. Under Tancredo's aliens can only be in the USA for one year out of any two. Their U.S-born children do not get citizenship. They are subject to existing laws about non-immigrants, ie they have to have a residence outside the USA.

Tancredo's overall vision for migration is for a reduced influx. Bush's approach is pure pander, throwing open the nation to far higer migration levels, just for the chance of narrowing his losing margins among Hispanic voters.

That's the very point, DUH !!!!

To make it hard, unnecessary, and wasteful for illegal immigrants and their employers to flout the law.
