    "Ultimately, we need to enforce our laws. The American people need to see us protect our borders and enforce our laws," Mr. DeLay said. "Then, they'll be willing to talk about a guest-worker program."

He also defended his chamber's record on spending and passing the Medicare prescription drug bill, said he is driving a project to "redesign" government around Republican principles and added that in the wake of the Terri Schiavo case he has asked the House Judiciary Committee to oversee judges.

    "The reason the judiciary has been able to impose a separation of church and state that's nowhere in the Constitution is that Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had judicial review is because Congress didn't stop them. The reason we had a right to privacy is because Congress didn't stop them," he said. "We're having to change a whole culture in this â€â€

    Maybe a LIMITED guestworker program.
