Yes, he does, but he was told publicly, by none other than Tancredo, amongst others, that his broad outline was DOA. If Tancredo thinks he can do a much better job, then where is his alternative plan? There are two immigration reform bills in subcommittees right now, neither was submitted by Tancredo, he is only a co-sponsor, and they are nothing like the comprehensive plan he submitted in the last session, that also got bogged down in the subcommittees and apparently died. I applauded him then, I think we all could have lived with that one. Right now I am just frustrated that he continues to beat Bush's dead horse rather than resuscitating that plan.
There's no need for an alternative plan. The government should attempt to enforce the laws that are on the books and then re-evaluate once that has been tried.
