Mike Pence a Republican Congressman from Indiana published an article in the Wall Street Journal which deserves a read. His proposals aimed at bridgeing the gap between the Senate and House bills on Immigration on the surface appear to be logical and based on common sense.

Here is the Executive Summary to his proposal.

The Four-Step Solution: No Amnesty Immigration Reform

I see the solution as a four-step process:

• 1. Secure our border.

• 2. Make the decision, once and for all, to deny amnesty to people whose first act in the United States was a violation of the law.

• 3. Put in place a guest worker program, without amnesty, that will efficiently provide American employers with willing guest workers who come to America legally.

• 4. Enforce tough employer sanctions that ensure a full partnership between American business and the American government in the enforcement of our laws on immigration and guest workers.
