Today the feds will announce a huge nationwide crackdown on illegal immigrants, especially gang members.
The goal is to take some of the more violent illegal immigrants off the streets.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says the crackdown serves as an example of how important the issue is. "For many years, the way we dealt with illegal immigration was we paid political lip service to toughness. I think we've got to show the public that we are serious about enforcing the laws."

Let us wait and see what they accomplish.
I read a post elswhere that said even if we deport 10,000 a month it will take 10 years to get them all.
We’d better get started and open an express lane. Cutting social services and penalizing people who employ them and will help start the exodus.
OK, can we start laughing now??
Too late for you to have any credibility on this whatsoever, Chertie. You've shown your hand. "Homeland Security"... phfft. Smoke and mirrors.
Until ICE shows up in Southern California, its all just smoke and mirrors.
“Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff”
One person I trust less then Hilary Clinton.
Why start now? There are so many Americans left to be raped and murdered by illegals.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh....that little puff of smoke he just blew up my rectum felt sooooooooooooo good.
LOL
How’s the wall comin’ there Skelator?
... camp out in front of Lowe’s or Home Depot, or any hospital emergency room, for that matter. This ain’t rocket science.
All the major politicians are all pushing for the same long term goals, because they are all funded by globalists. We fuss over the empty peanut shells while they make fools of us and run away with the gold.
The man is rather unwholesome looking.
Just go into any McDonald's!
I’ll take a ride in a bit to the Culmore Shopping Center in Northern Viginia. Let’s see if the 75 to 100 “undocumented immigrant day laborer” illegals have gone back into the shadows of the 7-11 parking lot due to this “crackdown”.
On the day I see Hormel, Libby, Tyson, Swift, et al placing 10,000 help wanted ads at livable American wages, that’s the day I’ll know that Chertoff is serious.
Which he is not, as a rule.
Jailtime for American employers and significant penalties of $100K to $10M will do nicely to start the exodus.
...anyplace that offers Western Union to Mexico, any Bank of America, and coming soon...New York DMV.
Just throwing us a few crumbs, hoping we will shut up and go away. It’s a good thing but not nearly enough, even for a start.
You won’t find them in the fields picking crops. I hear that the crops are rotting in the fields.
Bookmarking.
They just finished conducting an operation here that had “local activists” bitching to high heaven.
Code for marxist subversives.
If it actually happens, places like Langley Park, Maryland, and Manassas, VA will be ghost towns.
For months and months and months now, we've pushed, we've've prodded, we called, we've stood up to him via our AM radio talk show hosts....so he finally listened??? THIS is interesting.
FANTASTIC...I'm looking forward to seeing some really great MUST SEE TV in the news in the near future then.
we’ve’ve = we’ve
That's some series apostrophication.
Off to breakfast - have a nice day everyone!
It's absolutely beautiful in "America's Finest City!"
Took a while to post this note - I had to stop laughing.
Would this have *anything* to do with an upcoming election?
Nah, could possibly be posturing.
Even if real, it is 10 to 15 years overdue.
BTW, when Cubans are returned, then I will know these guys are serious.
Lettuce prices shoot through the roof!
Chertoff frets!
Women and children hardest hit!

You got that right.
That’s because they found out how much better the pay is working in construction and landscaping. You know, the jobs no American wants.
Wish we could have ONE THREAD solely devoted to Freeper’s experiences with illegals in their hometowns and chronicle whether a ‘clean-up’ has actually begun, per Chertoff.
I can tell you that they do raid large construction being finaced with federal monies involved. They do this more regualarly than many imagine especially when there are complaints. I have seen raids with dozens of ICE and other law enforcement being done on a regular basis over the last few years. One I saw got three illegals out of 150 tradesmen in a midwestern area...none of them worked for me, thankfully.
Very encouraging!
>>>>>You wont find them in the fields picking crops. I hear that the crops are rotting in the fields.
We have a plethora of inmates in every state. Bring back the chain gangs to pick the nations crops. FREE LABOR.
If you have a broken water line that is flooding your basement do you:
A-grab your shop vac and begin to suck up the water.
B-move all the items stored in basement so they won’t get wet.
C-shut the water off before steps A & B
BUILD THE DAMN FENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ICE and W and The politico-ho's aren't going to doing nuttin' but token gestures. Business as usual.......
But I thought local LEO’s aren’t trained to do ICE stuff? I guess it’s just what the politco ho’s seem OK at any given time.....at least that’s what I hear all the time in NC. If we make it unrewarding to be here illegally, then illegals will pack up and leave and apply legally...yeah get in line and wait your turn.
Yeah....make the illegals harvest crops for free for six weeks and then deport their butts!
Local law enforcement is often contacted and can augment an ICE/DOJ team if they do a major raid of a construction site.
There are few things as disruptive to work-flow as law enforcement surrounding a construction site at 8:00 AM. LOL.
I wish they’d spend more effort on actually doing it rather than going out of their way to generate the press coverage.

You know... forget the fines. Put the employers in jail. Waaaay in the back of the jail. And not just some independent roofing contractors. Start at the top with the presidents and CEOs CFOs COOs etc and then work you way down (as if you would need to after the first two weeks of locking them up) as far as it takes until the Help Wanted Ads are doubling the size of the classified.
There are a many, many good and decent Hispanics in this country now legally and illegally, however, it is no business of our government to give our tax dollars away as handouts especially to those here illegally. The average family of four with both parents working full-time earning between $65-$85K annually have to work now to to the end of June to pay all their taxes and fees to the government. In NC taking in all workers (full & part-time and all income brackets), tax-freedom day, is April 25th.
