Well of course. That is why Congress will, sooner or later, reform immigration policies with a guest worker program. Which program is the question.

I suppose that it is remotely possible that the smallest group could finesse a program thru Congress, but it is most likely that a compromise bill with broad support is the one.

You also ignore the distinct possibilty that there is a Congressional Charade in process. This charade allows all house republicans to appear tough and in the end, only a few republicans in the senate and those republicans on the conference committe catch any blame.

How does a guest worker program close the border? You like so many want to pretend history doesn't exist and we have nothing to go by when making policy.

Are you aware in 1990 Bush and Ted Kennedy teamed up to double legal immigration quotas using the argument that would cut down on illegal immigration by providing more visas? Now be honest Ben, did it work? I wasn't fooled then and I'm not fooled now.

No in the end I suspect we may or may not get something but any claim it will "choke off" illegal immigration will be proven false as it has countless times in the past.
