Just curious as to who the Coloradans intend to support in the Senate race between Udall and Schaffer.
I came across an article from the Denver Post on his immigration stance which seemed to suggest he was somewhat moderate on the immigration issue, which I suppose if the comparator is Tom Tancredo, that is correct. This struck me as odd though:
The Northern Mariana Islands as a successful model for a guest-worker program that could be adopted nationally? That doesn't seem to be a very good example of a successful guest-worker program. I mean, maybe I'm confused but it seems that creating an underclass of guest-workers with no path to citizenship coupled with being forced into prostitution, child prostitution, forced abortion, slave labor, beatings and other atrocities isn't a great idea. Nor is it anything close to "moderate."
In any event, what's your take on this guy?

He pointed to the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. protectorate that imports tens of thousands of foreign textile workers, as a successful model for a guest-worker program that could be adapted nationally.
"The concept of prequalifying foreign workers in their home country under private- sector management is a system that works very well in one place in America," he said of the islands' program. "I think members of Congress ought to be looking at that model and be considering it as a possible basis for a nationwide program."
