Once registered, those millions will be crossing our border at *legal* checkpoints, not treking through the desert.Do you really believe, I mean really, that the other 30 million residents of Mexico, not to mention the 80 million combined residents of Equador, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, etc., will not come zooming across the border as fast as their legs can move the minute they realize that simply getting their warm body across the US border will increase by, oh about 98-percent, their chance of obtaining American Citizenship (or residency).
I've read much of your posting before Southack, and I like your stuff.
But I am 100 percent convinced that we would experience a massive influx of immigrants across our border if we were to suddenly promise visas or residency to anyone who can get an employer in the US to sign a simple piece of paper saying they HAD NO CHOICE to hire an immigrant cause they couldn't find an American to do the job.
It will be like opening up the borders to anyone and everyone. Mark my words.
In 30-40 years, the Anglos will be fighting for their rights in a country that suddenly has more third world residents than it can handle.
Already our hospitals and schools are being overwhelmed. Take a drive through any mid-sized East Coast city and see if you can make an economic transaction WITHOUT speaking spanish.
"In 30-40 years, the Anglos will be fighting for their rights"
I think it will be much sooner than that.
I, for one, have been preparing my family for the last 10 or so years.
Be prepared and fear not.

Tancredo's and Bush's immigration plans change the incentive for employers to hire illegals.
Once registered, those employers are going to have to show that they've started paying minimum wage or union scale, whichever is required in that area, that they are paying workman's comp, taxes, etc.
Moreover, it only takes 1 illegal who wants a blue card to rat out the entire company...so employing *new* illegals instead of any old ones who register isn't an option.
Thus, both proposed immigration plans change the dynamics of hiring illegal workers. This will change the incentive and behavior of employers.
