Yeah, sounds like another Czar will be needed ...
And I’m sure our disgruntled foreign guests will be lining up to avail themselves of the privilege of running this bureaucratic gauntlet, and paying five grand, in the mess you described.
How about just getting out the razor and agreeing to enforce our immmigration laws? Too simplistic? Not enough federal aparachniks would be needed?
If we can do all of what Newt described, why can’t we just locate them, put them on a bus and send them back where they came from?
Because a predicate to either of these choices is that the border will be secure. Right?
The perfesser’s plan looks familiar (to me): like a lot of fancy footwork (that no one will attempt to enforce) so that the GOP and Donks can grant amnesty. (By the way, Gary Busey just declared his support for Gingrich. Maybe he could be the Czar?)
Well, my lunch break’s over. Good luck squaring this circle. You’ll need it.

Well he seems to address this in
Point 5
We can build on the universal system of biometric, tamper-proof visa documents that all visitors must have, and invite a private-sector firm with a proven track record to monitor the guest worker program.
For guest workers, the new tamper-proof, biometric cards will replace the e-verify system, which has some promising elements, but is too error-prone. Employers will be able to swipe prospective employees biometric cards, and immediately be able to confirm that these workers are in the country legally.
Once a legal guest worker system has been built with real-time, 24/7 verification, there will be no excuse for employers hiring people illegally. At that point the economic penalty on illegal employers should go up substantially.
The new guest worker program should be designed using the proven principles oand it should be easy, convenient, inexpensive and practical for both workers and employers.
So I guess, if you don't line up, you don't get one of these new-fangled fancy "biometric, tamper-proof visa documents".
Once again, sounds difficult to pull off. But I am glad to at least see specifics. And to me it is NOT amnesty.
