Diplomat backs guest worker bill
By Hector Gutierrez, Rocky Mountain News
September 27, 2005
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo did not take kindly Monday to a Rocky Mountain News report on Saturday that a top Mexican diplomat said his government opposed the congressman's immigration reform plan while it favored a guest worker program for illegal immigrants that eventually could lead to citizenship.
Tancredo criticized Geronimo Gutierrez, Mexico's undersecretary for North America, for injecting himself into U.S. politics when he told the News last week that he supported the McCain-Kennedy bill that would allow unauthorized employees to become part of a guest-worker program, permit them to normalize their illegal status and give them the opportunity to become citizens while imposing a monetary fine.

The bill is named after Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D- Mass.
In a statement released by his office Monday, the Republican congressman called the McCain-Kennedy bill a "blanket amnesty" for illegal immigrants. Tancredo has been trying to tout his immigration reform proposal called the Real Guest Act, which would require unauthorized immigrants to return to their homeland before they are given guest worker status and would limit their stay in the United States to 365 days every two years.
Gutierrez said the Real Guest Act was not "feasible" because hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants have established themselves in the U.S. with homes and families and are not about to abandon them while they return to their countries.
Tancredo criticized Gutierrez's remarks, saying it has been the Mexican government's unwritten position to encourage illegal immigration and disregard America's efforts to get control of its porous southern border.

quote] This is the only thing I Disagree with in Tancredo's Statement. It is a written position. Just look at the pamphlet that the Mexican Government printed out last year to show how to get into the United State.http://www.alipac.us/
