He's too smart to not understand the problem (remember, it was Chertoff alone who unveiled The Lippo Group ten years ago).
So he's being an obediant lackey. Period.
There was a post on FR a day or two ago stating that GWB intended to start an enforcement program first (PR value) as the new lead-in to the guest worker/amnesty program.
That's precisely what we're seeing right now.
We're seeing an enforcement program? Or merely talk of an enforcement program?
Technically, we've had an enforcement program all along. It's called the law. The administration has refused to enforce the law, instead offering lame excuses for non-enforcement. But now they're going to propose some enforcement "program"? I don't buy it (though I am paying for it, I'm sure.)
