Why did Tancredo back off his guest worker program? Because he got flack over it. Folks were more against a guest worker program back in 2003, then they are today.

Politicians often change their views as time marches by and things and events enfluence their thinking. Nothing new here.

Mr. Keene, if you're reading this: I respect all the work you've done on behalf of conservatism over the course of many years, but you've spent too much time inside the Beltway. Do try and get out more.
No amnesty for illegals.
Close the border now; with a permanent, effective, barrier.
Enforce our laws against hiring illegals.
Roll up the welfare red carpet.
End catch and release. Deport every foreign national that is caught here immediately.
It's really very simple.

...you've spent too much time inside the Beltway. Do try and get out more.I agree wholeheartedly!
I have agreed with Keene much of the time, but his solution to this illegal mess, allowed to flourish by our ineffective, busy elsewhere government is completely wrong.

My guess would be Tancredo's, which was quite different then Pence's.That would be my take as well.
I have read Tom's plan and as far as Mr. Pence's efforts, I have heard quite enough from him.

"Why did Tancredo back off his guest worker program?"
If he did "back off" of it that would be a good question. He didnt of course and you know that.

He did back off. When has he last pushed for a guest worker program?

Do you have a link to him denouncing this plan or is this just your own feeling on the subject?

When did Tancredo last advance his guest worker plan? I haven't heard a peep out of him for three years about a guest worker plan?
He doesn't talk about it, hoping that everybody will forget he ever advanced one.

He submitted the plan and others decided not to introduce it. There is nothing he can do about that. How do you suggest he should beat that particular dead horse and non starter of a bill? What a silly non-point youre making.

Tancredo could offer his guest worker program as an alternative to Pence's.
Instead, he trashes guest worker programs altogether, when he himself offered one.

Tancredo already introduced a guest worker program. So he has already offered an alternative to Pence. Stop this ridiculousness.

Tancredo never mentions that he introduced his guestworker program. He's obviously ashamed of it.
