There's that word again: required. Tancredo and Bush aren't talking about more useless and redundant "requirements." Their plans offer *rewards* in exchange for illegals registering themselves and their employers so that they are no longer anonymous.
Rewards can do things that "requirements" can't.

Why am I against the plans for "registering" illegals?

You just stated it above, so we register a few million with a reward, how about everyone else? How are we going to enforce registration later if we can't now? What about those that don't register?

I guess you have never been in law enforcement, how is it going to be enforced and how much money and how many people will it take to enforce it?...its all a political show without teeth, same as last time around. I don't see any guarantees of enforcement...How is it physically possible to determine if 2 or 5 or 10 or 20 million jobs can't be filled by legal workers? Who is going to do it How long would it take to do that? We currently have laws on the books for that, why not just expand the numbers of visas a little instead of a blanket program?

You don't enforce registration, you reward it.

Once one illegal registers, then you've got the IRS, INS, union reps, ACLU, and various do-gooders who are suddenly paying that guy's illegal employer regular visits. His entire sweatshop just got busted, all because just 1 guy took the reward for registering himself and his employer.
