Listened to Krauthammer on Fox earlier. He had a couple of observations. He believes that many who oppose the McCain-Kennedy bill would be a little more disposed to support it if we were serious about stopping the flow of illegals. His suggestion, build a fence 10, 15, 20 feet, whatever it takes from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. On the day the Golden Post is driven, then we can talk about guest worker programs and amnesty. Further, he said, if there is a guest worker program for those already here, it is not a ticket for your wife, brother, sister, mother, father, uncle or aunt back in the home country to come to the US. But first build the fence.
Fox had one other statistic -- only one-third of the illegals are from Mexico, the other two-thirds are from other central and SA countries (plus some Arabs, that we also know).

That position is exactly the conservative mainstream position of Cornyn, Kyl and others. Not against legal immigration, but for combination of guest worker program to fill labor demand and for enforcement to keep immigration on legal basis only.
"Fox had one other statistic -- only one-third of the illegals are from Mexico, the other two-thirds are from other central and SA countries (plus some Arabs, that we also know)."
That contradict other recent data shared, which was that 57% of illegal aliens are from mexico.
sounds a lot like Tancredo.
