"Most Americans can live with a guest worker program (may not like it though) as long as they see the border being shut down, a tracking system for guest workers and employers being held accountable for hiring undocumented illegals."
Let us know when that latter part happens. It was supposed to have happened when Reagan passed his one-time-only-never-again amnesty. Guess you think you'll sucker us again, huh?
"We are in the minority of the Republican Party and that means, like any minority group, must be willing to give more than 50% of a compromise."
Uh, NO. The majority of the American people, and the Republican party, want immigration curtailed or frozen, and the border to be more than an imaginary line in the sand.
Don't "you'll" me because I'm not trying to sucker anyone, just stating fact. Isn't it strange that Bush made it clear before his reelection that he wanted a guest worker program and he still got 52% of the vote? I guess since you're an expert on what people want, tell me what candidate you would have proposed to beat Bush and wouldn't have to compromise with the other Branch because he's just so right?
