The only place I have ever seen the use of the word "FastPass" is in Cannon PR articles. Can you provide a link where Jacobs supports this other that what Cannon has alleged? I like to see it, I'm sure we would all like to know Jacobs stand.

I found this statement on the internet, the words are not mine, but the sentiment is.

" Only in the emotional arena of the illegal immigration debate could President Bush and Cannon be labeled liberals. Cannon's voting record repeatedly ranks among the most conservative in Congress, but because he is to the left of some cantankerous groups on immigration, he has been a lightning rod since Bush announced his bid for immigration reform in 2004.
Bush proposed, and Cannon has supported, a guest-worker program that would allow some illegal aliens working in the United States to remain for a period of time, six to 12 years in various proposals, and for some of those to possibly earn the right to apply for permanent residence."

Cannon referenced the "FastPass" in a debate earlier this week, and Jacob fumbled around for an answer and said "I'll have to think more about that" when he was challenged that he was, in effect, also offering amnesty.

You didn't catch the debate? There was a thread here about it.

Jacob admitted that he has not ironed out details of his proposed immigration FastPass, styled after the pass used at Disneyland. Park visitors can go to a ride, obtain a FastPass, and then return during a specific time and go to the front of the line. Cannon pressed him on which illegal aliens would qualify for a FastPass. Jacob said it would not be for everyone, only those who had been in America for 10 to 20 years. If they've actually been here that long, show us the five Social Security numbers you've used, get an affidavit from your wife and children, you get a FastPass." "It sounds like what some supporting you call an amnesty," said Cannon, who pushed for additional details. "I don't know," Jacob said. "I still have to work that out." "Everybody in Utah wants to know where you stand on this issue," Cannon said.

But Jacob likened a guest worker program to giving a car to someone after it's been stolen. Instead, Jacob said he favors offering a fast pass to return to the United States for certain immigrants who leave the country..

However, Jacob didn't outline exactly who would qualify for a fast-pass program.

He said immigrants who can prove they've been here for 10 or 20 years should qualify for a fast-pass program but was short on details. It was also unclear whether he would extend the fast-pass program to immigrants whose families would be split up after anyone who was in the country illegally was forced to leave.

"I don't have all the answers whether fast pass will work. I don't know yet, but it looks like a better idea than keeping everyone here," Jacob said.

IOW, Jacob is just throwing something out there to see if it will stick.

One thing is certain, he is closer to Pence and Cannon than he is to Tancredo.
