ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge told a Miami audience Tuesday that the country should legalize millions of undocumented immigrants living in the country.



"The bottom line is, as a country we have to come to grips with the presence of 8 to 12 million illegals, afford them some kind of legal status some way,but also as a country decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it," Ridge said at a town hall meeting at Miami-Dade Community College."

...decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it.

What a dangerous idiot. Our 'policy' is called "the law" and needs enforcing. Granting amnesty to terrorists is a poor idea. What a nightmare. How much did CAIR and Grover pay this guy?

"........but also as a country decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it"

That's what they said before the amnesty in 1986. Hollow words.

This problem will never be solved until we repudiate, break, and overcome the Business Wing of the GOP. They never met a hungry immigrant they didn't like. They're addicted to wage-breaking, and to illegal immigration. "It's all in the numbers."

No, we don't. They are illegals, plain and simple. We need to kick them out, enforcing the laws we currently have. If we have yet another amnesty they how long before we have yet another 8 to 12 million illegals. And on, and on.

Baloney. We decided. We have laws. They are illegal.
