What was it that the Delta boys "coughed" after Marmalard made his opening comments during Delta's "hearing"?

Oh yeah....Bull$h!7!

 There is the answer to the problem! You only need seven of them. Two for the Texas border, one for the New Mexico border, two for the Arizona border and two for the California border. the will to use them and the problem is solved in just a month or two.

F him and Bush they could care less - expect them and the GOP to do nothing.

Hey, all you illegals! Look out! The Feds are standing back and taking a look, and you know how serious that can be. Why, they may even appoint a blue ribbon panel to examine the issue.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

Chertoff is not serious......he still uses "immigration" in conjunction with "illegal"

[FreePaul]

...the federal government's detention and deportation system must be fundamentally restructured.

Planning will take about three years, organization another five years, implementation will take... About the time Social Security goes broke we may have something in place to take care of illegal immigration. Of course then we won't be able to afford it. Maybe we'll all adapt the Mexican lifestyle, mañana.

FEDS VOW TO GET TOUGH ON ILLEGALS

Yeah, right. I have a warm fuzzy when I see President Bush and Congressional Republicans proposing amnesty schemes and telling us that they're nice people looking for jobs, not smuggling drugs and turning southwestern towns into gangland battlefields.

Their idea for "getting tough" probably means making laws to increase punishments for companies who don't do the government's job well enough in detecting illegals during hiring.

[inquest]

said Tuesday that the federal government's detention and deportation system must be fundamentally restructured.

Still on Step 2 while ignoring Step 1. All the deportation in the world isn't going to help if they can just come right back over the border again. Step 1 is to build a fence like the one Israel has. No hemming and hawing, just do it. There's no excuse not to.

"We have decided to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem and solve it once and for all," Chertoff said

You've been standing back for 20 years. How long will it take for you to "take a look" and then to "solve it"? Forgive me if I don't hold my breath.

[Ron H.]

"We have decided to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem ......

Hey Cheorty, can you and the rest of the useless tax-payer dollar gobbling federal Homeland inSecurity bloated bureaucracy stand any further back than you are already standing?! Bloated as in top heavy pencil pusher types that is but apparently not as in actual working BP agents in the field.

In all seriousness, this sounds more like part of the warm up comedian routine for Bush and his sidekicks, Rove and Fox big push this fall for Bush's lame brain guest worker (aka shamesty for the current 12+ million criminal aliens) program. Expect to see more smoke-n-mirrors BS in the coming weeks.

This talk of getting tough on illegal immigration reminds me of the scene in "Team America World Police" when Kim Jong Il asks Hans Blix what will happen to him and his country if they don't comply with UN sanctions and Hans said " well we will really really really be angry with you". LOL.

"We have decided to stand back and take a look and solve it once and for all," Chertoff said

Well nooooooo shiite!!! It's been what? 12 friggin' years since the first WTC bombing and almost four friggin' years since the second WTC bombing and these geniuses in DC thinks it's time to "look at how we address the problem?"
Hey Chertoff, I think the proverbial horse is out of the friggin' barn, MORON!

[kellynla]

Somebody tell Chetoff that he can start "solving the problem once and for all" by building one of these on our southern and northern borders.

Just more rhetoric!

[John Lenin]

Want to know why the FED has ignored the immigration problem ?

Look in the mirror for the answer, we have a declining birthrate and government sponsored abortions.

[billnaz]

I'll believe it when I drive along the border and see American troops planting land mines and stringing concertina.

[mad_as_he$$]

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it is raining! The Bushies don't care about illegals never have, never will.
