So says you.
BTW. We have had this discussion already. In case you forgot, I'll include Tancredo's text.

(D) sign a legally enforceable affidavit attesting that they--

`(i) understand that they will not be permitted to change or adjust to any other immigrant or nonimmigrant classification or status while present in the United States;

`(ii) acknowledge that a child born to them during their stay in the United States will not be granted U.S. citizenship unless the other parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident;

No, we have not had this discussion before.

These are examples of why Tancredo's plan would be impossible to get off the ground or to enforce.

What Tancredo and many others don't understand is that if it is not desirable or beneficial, no one will participate. In this case, it is better to be illegal so why would they participate.

Enforcing this is like enforcing a 35 mph speed limit on the interstate.

Even though I really wish it were not true, section ii is blatently unconstitutional.
