Of course you are right. This is not about right and wrong, it’s about cheap labor and new Democrat Party voters. Without a influx of several million new poor citizens the Democrat Party will be out of business.
On the other hand the country club GOP want the cheap labor. The fact that it revitalizes the Democrat Party doesn’t matter as much to them.
Take the money and run.
Talk about unintended consequences...
Ok, which player has 666 on his/her head? Or do they all?
I do not go a day without reviewing it. Clear, concise, succinct and always professional. No wasted time at this site. The contributors are all currently professionally employed in the very specific field of Counter Terrorism and are acknowledged experts in the field.
Old “Brick Agents” like myself are no longer privy to current classified data and as a result our opinions are flawed for the information and purpose Mr Hewitt seeks.
Here are two which struck me as particularly poignant...

This "Comprehensive Sellout of the American Citizen" will have consequences you have not even considered, not that you care.
I have been an active civic minded citizen for 47 years. Flying my flag on Flag day, July Fourth, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, etc. Standing for the national anthem. Serving on juries when requested. Serving on community boards. Voting in every election.
Our Constitutional Republic rests on the premise of consent of the citizens. If you succeed in jamming this amnesty down the throats of the American citizens you will have broken the contract. I will henceforth consider myself just another permanent resident. All of my positive citizenship activities will stop. I will remove the U.S. flags from my home and vehicles. I will ignore whatever laws get in the way of my "having a better life", just like the illegal aliens. I will dodge jury duty. Shade on my taxes any time I can. No more Good Samaritan acts. No more litter patrols. No more volunteering. No more charitable donations. No more USO donations. My son will not serve in your Armed Forces. I will only be looking out for myself, just like the cheap labor importers and hispandering vote whores. God help the U.S.A.

Hobson Choice would be better than this
Chertoff would grant legal status to, oh I don't know, maybe 10 or 20 or 30 million illegal aliens because that will enable us to spot the 500 or 5,000 AlQaeda terrorists??
And they'll stand out because their paperwork will not be up to snuff, or ALL 500 to 5,000 terrorists will get stopped for speeding or somethin' and we'll nail 'em that way! Yeah, that could happen. Not!
Well, at least the well-to-do will be able to pinch pennies getting their hedges trimmed before the nukes go off. That's a fair trade.
At the very best, if Chertoff were right, the worst that happens is a permanent underclass of 30 million poorly educated foreigners (and their 100 million offspring) who have little interest in, or awareness of, our glorious and miraculous Constitution and all that goes with it.
So we either get nuked or slump into 3rd world lawless proclivities, or both.
THAT sounds like a win-win, doesn't it?
It sure does...
If they can’t and won’t locate and arrest the admitted 600,000 illegal alien felons how are they going to winnow out the more dangerous ones among the 12 to 20 million.?
The delusion is that ALL the illegals will just rush to register. When has that ever happened?
As long as CAIR is given guided tours and consulted by the DHS on issues and procedures regarding Islamo-fascist killers the real threat level remains at least the same but the warm and fuzzy PR will make us all feel better about it.
