With the Senate headed toward a final vote on an immigration bill this week, a leader of House conservatives is asking his colleagues to support a free-market plan aimed at bridging the gulf between the versions in the two chambers. The proposal by Rep.Mike Pence (R-Ind.), provided to TIME ahead of an unveiling speech at the Heritage Foundation, is arguably less compassionate than the version being debated in the Senate and supported in principle by President George W. Bush.But it looks to be more palatable to House Republicans, many of whom have opposed creating a guest worker program before new border crackdowns have been given a chance to work.
Pence, a rising star in the House, is suggesting a temporary worker program based on a data base run by private industry. And unlike the leading plan in the Senate and the blueprint sketched by Bush, his “Border Integrity and Immigration Reform Act” would require all applicants to leave the country first.Pence tweaks a phrase from Bush’s address to the nation by calling the compromise “a REAL rational middle ground.” Even though Bush has said his preferred solution “ain’t amnesty,” Pence appeals to hard-liners by calling the compromise a “no-amnesty solution.”
“The solution is to set up a system that will encourage illegal aliens to self-deport and come back legally as guest workers,” Pence, the grandson of an Irish immigrant, says in prepared remarks. “The visa will be issued only outside of the United States.Outside of the United States. That is a key point because it is the provision that will require the twelve million illegal aliens to leave. Now, some of you are thinking to yourselves that 12 million people aren’t going to pack up and leave just to get a visa to come back legally. But,I believe most will.”

LOL
It won't matter. You could send back all the illegals, and the Hispanics would still, eventually, outnumber whites. Whites are simply not reproducing, or even marrying, at previous numbers.
fyi, I was not the first poster to use the words "contemptable dishonesty". Actually, when I used it, it was 100% cut and paste.
Gee. And that matters why? China and India outnumber us signicantly as well. That just means that there are more starving and/or poor people over there than over here. They can outnumber us all they want to... in Mexico. That's not going to spell dominance.
Moonbat Americans-those who would rather sacrifice our nation than risk alienating a "voter-bloc".
I have no idea. I believe the collective wisdom of the republicans in congress, senate and executive branch outweigh my own. I will support whatever they come up with.
Common sense reasoning will get you branded a rino. But I like your post. I agree, the question of how many (my guess is a lot less than now like maybe 4 million would do.) is the big issue.
Spit it out. You believe that the white nations on earth are racist if they want to maintain a white majority.
Would it be racist of India if they want to maintain an Indian majority? How about South Africa maintaining a black majority?
The big thing is not so much race, but culture. If we can "convert" the Mexicans, or the Chinese, or the Indians to our European-American culture and way of thinking, the US will continue to be the most stable, successful, prosperous, humane, and free civilization in the world. The melting pot is intended to break down the barriers that defined our ancestors overseas, such as religion, race, and nationality, and create a united "American thought".
Feel proud that you are doing your part to hurry along this happy state of affairs. [/sarcasm]
(btw, I expect that there will be some serious blood spilled before the last Euro-whites accommodate themselves to your vision.)
No. I believe that certain posters on FR are racist when they argue that a white majority is the most important thing on earth.
Would it be racist of India if they want to maintain an Indian majority? How about South Africa maintaining a black majority?
I don't see why this is important. Nobody cares when Protestants outnumber Catholics, or vice versa, but when skin color comes into play, that's a big deal to you.
What, exactly, is "American thought" and European-American culture? Please be specific.
I don't have a "vision." And, if there is blood spilled, it will be by hot dog militia types who are itching for a fight with somebody, anybody.
Well at least its tasty.
Which predominantly white countries do you believe should replace their white majorities with melting pot experiments? All of them or just the US?
"White" seems to be your color. Do you have confederate flags on your truck?
Do you have the Mexican flag on your import?
