CSPAN TV, Live.
Sentate Judiciary Committee on Illegal Immigration.
Head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff just said that any crackdown on illegal immigration would have to balanced with the strong demand business has for workers from south of the border.
Also stated that full scale deportations would be cost prohibitive.
I saw a posting from Real Clear politics that spelled out how Bush had sold out conservatives that got yanked today. Lack of immigration enforcement was mentioned.
BTW, you do know that 40 million native born Americans have taken out of the workforce since 1973, due to abortion.
cost prohibitive?
cost prohibitive?
give me a friggin' break!!!
it's costing the border states upwards of 15 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to allow these illegals to stay here and this clown is trying to tell us we can't afford to deport them?
One third of all the incarcerated in America are illegals!
It's costing every state in the union eight thousand dollars a year to educate each and every one of their children and I won't even get into the cost of food stamps and hospitalization which is causing hospitals to close all over America!
And this clown is trying to tell us we can't afford to deport them?
Hell, we can't afford to keep the little bastards!!!
DEPORT THEM ALL!
Ike did it, so can Bush!
gezzzzzzzzzzz louise!

What Homeland Security? Nothing to see, move along please.
Both true. What's the problem?
We need to enforce zero tolerance for illegal immigration while increasing and streamlining legal immigration (possibly including guest worker).
And don't give me any garbage about that just increasing illegal immigration. If it's enforced, it'll be just a trickle of drug dealers etc that the cops will be able to handle.
"I saw a posting from Real Clear politics that spelled out how Bush had sold out conservatives that got yanked today. Lack of immigration enforcement was mentioned."
I think you're talking about an article I posted from Real Clear Politics.
It got pulled because it was a duplicate.
And your plan it to replace those 40 million lost workers with illegal Mexican immigrants Dane? I think you will run into some opposition on that one.
The problem is he doesn't offer the solution of building a barrier on the border. Until then any immigration regulation talk is pure rhetoric to kill time and allow more illegals to enter the US.
I have no problem with legal immigrants.
Where did I say "illegal". I'm all for a guest worker plan(Kyl/Cornyn), that doesn't lead to citizenship(If they want to be a citizen they go to the back of the line).
Bush was bought and sold by business - he could care less about national security or the honest American worker. Bush has been a complete failure except for the war with Iraq.
take off those rose colored glasses...
Reagan tried amnesty in the eighties and look what it got us!
Ike did it right!
Deport 'em all and let God sort it out!
This will cause a crackdown on my wallet when it comes to donations to the GOP.
I'm watching this too and it's truly sickening. A complete sellout of our country.
I was in a 300 home new construction project last week. Every construction worker I saw was from south of the border and I'm not talking about South Carolina.

This is just more propaganda.
Well who else is willing and able to farm and build.
Not Americans from what I can see here in NC.
Was there zero tolerance for illegal immigration?
No?
Well then it ain't the same thing, is it?
No policy will work if it's not enforced!
