What the WGA has endorsed is not an immigration plan 'based in reality,' but a surrender plan based on capitulation to cheap labor interests. What is needed, and what the American public is demanding, is a true enforcement plan that is based in reality and the political will to enforce this nation's laws.
More Quotes from Dan Stein:
Overcrowded, multilingual, schools will not become manageable because the kids are suddenly the children of guest workers, instead of illegal aliens. Millions of unskilled laborers will not magically become high-earning taxpayers because they have work visas. State budget crises will not be alleviated, housing will not become more affordable, traffic will not become less congested, and middle class jobs will not become more plentiful if we give everyone who is here, or who wants to come here, a piece of paper that says they're legal.Dan Stein
They need to fix the system. Not only do they need to make the enforcement commitments work, they need to reduce immigration ... and eliminate the nepotistic family chain migration system that fuels the seeds of unmanageable immigration growth.

We believe that the actions and rhetoric of the Mexican government constitute an attempt to infringe on the sovereignty of the United States, and we urge an immediate and strong response from the Bush administration.

The damage that the Domenici bill would do every aspect of life in America would be incalculable. In very short order, America would become a vastly overpopulated nation devoid of a middle class. The United States Senate owes it to the American public to reject this and similar amnesty and guest worker bills and focus on protecting our borders and the survival of the American middle class.
Dan Stein
That's how we ought to feel when we see an amnesty. People crashing the borders, breaking the law, getting ahead of the line. Telling the guy who waits patiently and plays by the rules that he's a sucker.

In reality, the choices we have before us are amnesty and guest workers on the one hand -- which would amount to a massive sell-out of the American middle class -- and, on the other hand, a comprehensive enforcement effort that eliminates the reasons why people come and remain in the U.S. illegally. There is a whole smorgasbord of options available to enforce our immigration laws, yet the president is still claiming that there is only one item on the menu.

Basic human contact - the meeting of eyes, the exchanging of words - is to the psyche what oxygen is to the brain. If you're feeling abandoned by the world, interact with anyone you can.
