Immigration-plank-Keyes

In response to the president's speech, Alan Keyes published an essay rejecting the president's token plan for border security, coupled with a "guest-worker cum amnesty plan," as Dr. Keyes labeled it. 
* Keyes argued for holding off any decision for or against deportation.
* Dr. Keyes called for replacing the National Border Patrol with a National Border Guard patterned after the Coast Guard in purpose and scope. 
:Given the "insidious threat of terror" we are under, in which "the danger to our national security could hardly have been more explicit" than it is, Dr. Keyes argues that such a decisive new force is called for, "as an element of our armed forces."
* Backing up the National Border Guard, Dr. Keyes envisions, would be a Citizen Auxiliary.
: organized, trained and equipped to act as spotters (like the citizens of Great Britain who kept lookout along that nation's coastline during World War II). They would work along a fenced perimeter, in coordination with electronic surveillance, to supply information to National Border Guard outposts that would handle the deployment of appropriately prepared rapid-response teams.
