Bush will try to make the plan more palatable to conservatives by including stricter entry controls, including increased use of technology at the border and steps toward better enforcement of current visa restrictions and reporting requirements, sources said.

This is perhaps a good way to stop the massive inflow of illegals. The illegals won't stop coming, so I don't see how to stop them. Besides, while there is a demand to fill unwanted low-paying jobs, and while there are greedy business owners hiring these workers, we will always have a problem with illegal immigration. So I think GW's plan is pretty good.
