Did You See This from Mike Chertoff on Friday?
National Review ^ | May 21 | Kathryn Jean Lopez

Posted on 05/21/2007 6:55:22 PM PDT by PghBaldy

MICHAEL CHERTOFF, HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY: You know, Wolf, first, I understand there's *** some people who expect anything other than capital punishment is an amnesty. *** The reality is the proposal here requires people who came in illegally who want to stay to pay a penalty. Like a fine. That's a punishment. That's not an amnesty.

Chertoff visited the nuclear lab in Livermore, CA a couple of years ago. In a Clintonesque move he insisted that they shut down the highway (580) out to Livermore to ensure his personal security, and he was very touchy about who at the lab could be near where he was (these are guys with clearances to work on nuclear bombs). What he forgets is that if it is unsafe out there it is HIS job to do something about it for the people.

Just another perfumed prince.

This administration has been a horrible disappointment. Michael “Skeletor” Chertoff is a disgrace. Just like his “awesome” buddy Ted Kennedy.

They don’t pay a fine based on what they’ve stolen.

They pay a small paperwork processing fee to stay, and an extra fee if they want a permanent green card.

They get rewarded. You don’t normally get rewarded through an amnesty process.

An amnesty is like in Australia, where they declared certain firearms illegal and you could turn them in without going to jail- that’s amnesty, you don’t go to jail but don’t keep the guns.

In this case the illegals pay the fee, and stay, so TECHNICALLY it’s not amnesty, it’s a gift. A nice gift, and they help out by paying some of the paperwork fees.

The jerks is power are intent on having us overrun by Mexicans and others. Why the f**K is the NATIONAL GUARD being sent to Iraq while our borders are virtually wide open? We are being controlled by traitors and globalists! I’ve never had so much anger at an administration as this one. If this crap passes may as well call it a night. It will get very dark. They're all traitors.

Please tell me that this idiot is not really this stupid. Good grief, I can't stand these people anymore.

You just create a system within the already existing Dept. that local LEOs contact when they locate someone who is illegally in the country. Any suspect that is, don’t even ask the victims so they won’t be afraid to contact the cops when they are victimized. But anyone booked into jail has their background checked for immigration/citizenship status.

It is the American people who are being punished, first by the illegals themselves and then by the Congress who wants to turn a blind eye to our plight.

JUST BUILD DUNCAN HUNTER’S FENCE. IT THE DAMN LEAST THAT YOU COULD DO, CONGRESS.

"What would you do if these 12 million were al queda?"

Would you give them amnesty also?

Depends on how cheap they would pick lettuce & cut grass.

The ironic part? If they really believed we were at war, there would be "capital punishment" for, shall we say, "uninvited guests."

I really, really dislike this man.

Chertoff has shown to be a paid robot for the NWO.
