"If LE agencies "don't want to scare" the illegals now, what is suddenly going to change after the guest worker program that will make it acceptable to detain, report & deport illegals?"
Post registration, the focus will move to auditing the employers of illegals for compliance. Compliance with tax laws (read: IRS). Compliance with wage laws (e.g. unions enforcing union scale, bleeding heart liberals enforcing minimum wages). Compliance with workman's comp (e.g. lawyers and insurance sharks). Compliance with immigration laws on hiring (e.g. INS).
By rewarding illegal aliens to register themselves and their employers, you suddenly give law enforcement personnel some amazing tools with which to pressure the businesses that hire illegals.
That's a change from the current situation.
Why you would oppose such registration in favor that such businesses and illegal workers remain anonymous instead boggles my mind, however.

Compliance with immigration laws on hiring (e.g. INS). You are really dreaming now. None of this is happening now & it will never happen under a guest worker program. There are immigration laws on the books now, and other than Wal-Mart janitors, they aren't being enforced. That is is real hoot.

Is the Easter Bunny going to deliver these amazing tools? What more amazing tool do you need than pulling over an illegal with a matricular consular card? The LE officer knows they are illegal - but Special Order 40 prevents him from even asking about nationality, not alone illegal status. Guest owrker programs aren't going to change that. Can we say ACLU?

I'm done going in circles with you, I have stated several times I support legal immigration & enforcement of the immigratin laws, not support anonymity.
