The Washington Times Op-Ed
It's no secret that both presidential candidates are steering clear of discussions on immigration reform. The issue resonates with a majority of Americans on both sides of the aisle in such a way that makes it difficult to pander to any one voting bloc without severely offending another. President Bush addressed immigration reform during the 2000 election, saying he would make it a priority in his first term. Though that sputtered after September 11, the president returned to the issue earlier this year by proposing a guest-worker program, which, stricken of all its lofty rhetoric, we feel is simply amnesty lite. The problem is John Kerry's plan is far worse.
