Tancredo's plan differs from Bush's, as I understand it, in requiring that workers apply for jobs from Mexico, rather than apply while here. One problem: how does he get them to go home?

He also has a one-year limit. If Tancredo's plan looks like it might pass, businesses will work to get the three-year limit passed.

But, if Lott is to be believed, no guest worker program will pass.

That means nothing will pass.

I disagree with Limbaugh. I don't think there is any great swell of emotion out there about illegal immigrants. Our service industry would be crippled if there was a severe disruption to the illegals who do most of the dirty work. And I truly believe most Americans recognize that.

I understand the passion of the ardent "antis" here. We have to figure out a way to control our borders. But, beyond that, I don't know what the answer is.

He**, it's so screwed up now that I no longer have the capacity to be surprised in America anymore...hey! - I just saw Richard Nixon's ghost whiz by...lol

We've already capitulated our border, sovereignty, security - let alone economic foundation...a long time ago.

We been had. Sold out. A Great Republic...if you can keep it. Yeah, right. Truth and a man with the brass to keep steady during it - is a luxury America, apparently, no longer possesses. Our Founding Fathers pity our foolishness.

Is there any evidence at all of that happening after "Operation Wetback" --- I doubt the economy showed any dip from that --- and wouldn't from deportations now. Hispanic youth unemployment is the highest of any group --- there are enough people to do the service industry jobs.

If they don't, then they miss out on the program. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.
