The latest proposal in Congress for a "guest"-worker program would allow unlimited immigration of eligible workers during the first three years and allow them and their families to remain here indefinitely.
Offered by two Republicans, the plan is criticized by proponents of stricter immigration laws. They say the program would tilt the nation's immigration system toward millions of uneducated, unskilled workers.

Detractors are skeptical that President Bush would provide an honest assessment of border security and questioned the commitment of Mr. Pence and Mrs. Hutchison to tough immigration laws and stricter borders.
Team America PAC, a group co-founded by Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican, has began a "Pence Watch" on its Web site (www.teamamericapac.org) and dismissed the proposal as a "massive amnesty" and an "atrocity." Although Mrs. Hutchison opposed the Senate bill that many consider to include a grant of amnesty to many of the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens, she voted earlier this month against including federal funds in the homeland security appropriations bill to pay for 800 more Border Patrol agents and fencing along high-traffic border areas.
"Having employers which have already broken the law determine the number of cheap foreign workers that will be admitted into the U.S. is a classic example of the fox guarding the henhouse," said Mr. Tancredo, who is no longer directly involved in Team America. "No plan that allows temporary workers to stay permanently is a 'guest'-worker plan."
Among Republican leaders in both chambers, the proposal was received warmly.

They just don't get it.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Hilarious.
you are right. Because of this I no longer consider myself republican. I live in alabama, and there are hispanics EVERYWHERE. At least charge them a freakin fee to come here and send money home and a consumption tax if they can't prove they are citizens, to make up for NOT PAYING INCOME TAX. They get free hospitals, schools, and we pay for it, then they get drunk wreck their cars and then just run away... the beater car is under a stolen social anyways. 95% of the outstanding warrants in Los Angeles are for illegals... what does that mean? They are 20 times harder to find!
Amnesty, no matter what you call it is amnesty.
Pence is being dishonest or he's got no clue how our immigration laws work.
I think we are fighting the wrong thing:

You're offering us a choice as to whether a CongressCritter is dishonest or clueless.
Why does it have to be one or the other?

Unlimited and indefinite, just like now! What's not to like? Sure I'll vote to turn my town into a third world pest hole to keep the Dims out of power! You betcha!
My head is going to explode!
My town is already a third-world pesthole. Save yourselves, it's not pretty.
It very well could be both!
Some of these goofs are going to wonder what hit them in November.
the pukes still don't get it. the USA is up to its eyeballs in aligators. enough with the foreigners for a couple generations.
I never thought the day would come, in America, where criminal illegal invaders would be more important to our congresspersons than the concerns of the American-born citizens, but so it has. Pretty soon I may have to renounce my citizenship from mexico, slip across the border into the US, so I can get in on all the freebies our congress and states are giving criminal illegal invaders.
Big Brother says, "Amnesty is enforcement."
I don't like this pessimistic feeling I get that we are going to get the shaft after the fall elections when the campaigning pressure is off. I had thought maybe Pence would show more backbone. Pence can go to hell. Which part of "NO AMNESTY" do these congress-turds not understand???
....but, but, but.... the border IS secure.....
"The illegal alien who drove 100 miles an hour on Interstate 485 on the wrong side of the highway, killing a University of North Carolina coed in November 2005, had been returned to Mexico 17 times."
