This would be a positive step; but what is crucial is that the talk of guest worker plans and paths-to-citizenship (amnesty) be scrapped until the border bleed has stopped. The mere debate has encouraged an even worse flood of illegals than usual. If his take is, "I'm sending the national guard to the border ok, so let's get my guest-worker plan passed", that won't make anyone happy.
No, it won't.
Nor will the idea that the NG is really there to provide safe passage for the illegal aliens and to insure the Minutemen do not interfere.
While I do not necessarily believe that will turn out to be the case, given the record of the federal government to date on the illegal alien issue, nothing would really surprise me.
