That is an excellent question and I've never hear a good answer for it aside from the usual "this time around we really really really will enforce our immigration laws... Really."

...

The only way out of this crisis is for the federal government to enforce its own laws and constitutionally bound duties to defend the nation from invasion.

LOL! But they aren't, are they?

Nevermind, sit on the sidelines, hold your breath, turn blue, and hang Tancredo out to dry. You'll have much more to complain about for all the good doing nothing will do.

I disagree with Tancredo on this. Unlike you, I don't believe that bribing our politicos with the support of a guest worker program, especially when one is not needed, to get them to do their job is going to work.

Look at what happened with Reagan's amnesty in 1986. It was SOLD to the public with the promise that it was going to be the LAST amnesty to end all amnesties and forever thereafter immigration laws were going to be enforced diligently. Guess What? Before the ink was dry on the bill, the amnesty provisions were already coming apart and an amnesty that was supposed to only apply to 300,000 illegal aliens turned out to apply to 10 times that number WITH NO enforcement on any of the provisions.

If you believe this time around the horn will be any different when our politicians have proven time and time again not to be worthy of our trust I have some land I'd like to sell you. An excellent foreshadowing of how any Guest Worker program would end up after special interests get through with it, can be witnessed in congress, right now as we speak. There they are busy gutting (under the pressure of the administration) the immigration provisions of the house intelligence bill that were specifically recommend by the 911 commission to make it harder for Terrorists to get drivers licenses, cover and other IDs.

What a sorry hand wringing spectacle! LOL. Now if the Administration and Congress can be so derelict in putting the cheap labor lobby’s interests ahead of common sense security reforms to protect the American People what does that tell you about how Tom’s guest worker program is going to end up IN PRACTICE
