Governors, you’ve talked a lot about work visas as part of immigration reform, but the details are pretty vague for something that would have a direct impact on the lives of millions of people. In President Johnson’s America,

  • Would the work visas be unlimited in quantity?

  • Would the work visas have an expiration date, as is the case for green card holders?

  • Would they require payment of a fine or back taxes for those who entered illegally?

  • Would they require English proficiency?

  • Would they require registration for Selective Service (assuming it is still required for citizens and green card holders)?

  • Would background checks disqualify applicants with misdemeanor convictions?

  • Would work visa holders ever be able to apply for permanent residence or citizenship?

  • What will happen to those who are already living here unlawfully but are denied a work visa for some reason (or fail to apply for one at all)?

  • Would businesses be required to comply with the same labor standards (minimum wage, overtime rules, health and safety regulations) as they do for citizens and permanent residents?

Finally, on a much lighter note, who is better at chess, Gary or Bill?
