Chertoff: We can't really enforce laws on illegals
World Net Daily ^ | 7/1/07 | World Net Daily

Posted on 07/01/2007 2:15:53 PM PDT by captjanaway

Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff is blasting the U.S. Senate for failing to pass an immigration bill, and claims the federal government doesn't have the ability to enforce laws when it comes to illegals working in America.

"We're going to continue to enforce the law. It's going to be tough," Michael Chertoff said. "We don't really have the ability to enforce the law with respect to illegal work in this country in a way that's truly effective."

"Chertoff: We can't really enforce laws on illegals"

"But on the other hand, we do a great job kicking our own citizens' asses so it's not all bad news. Sure, an illegal smuggling 900 pounds of pot might get away once in a while, but you should see what we do to people who have memor failures! Man, do we rock or what!"

If people like him are unable to secure the borders and enforce the laws, why in the hell is he even in the Government and why did he ever get appointed in the first place?

I’m really amazed when I hear the government say that “the first part of this so called ‘CIR’ law WILL be enforcement.” Why do they need to pass a new law to enforce, when they don’t enforce existing laws?

This is something that I’ve shouted at the radio repeatedly. The simplest question to ask is, “Why should I believe you when you say you’re going to enforce these new laws, when you don’t enforce existing laws, like building a fence on the border?”

“We can’t enforce the law but we will continue to enforce the law”!

Wow! It’s worse than I thought. Bush must have raided the ‘Loony Bin’ when he appointed his staff. Well, it confirms my belief that the country has collectively stepped through the looking glass and that shortly we will be introduced to the Mad Hatter and the Queen of hearts.

I still like the dsc plan. Arrest them, and sentence them to community service: cleaning the roadside from wherever they’re arrested to the Mexican border, in leg irons, sleeping in tents, subsisting on bread and water, and guarded by men on horseback with shotguns.

Another FReeper had a similar plan. Arrest the illegals and sentence them to building the new border wall.

I'd extend that to include Lady J's suggestion that we should punish employers who cheat. They should be arrested and sentenced to work alongside the arrested illegals in building the wall.

If Chertoff doesn't know how to enforce the law with illegals, he needs to step down and give the job to someone who does know how...

Strange, you never hear the IRS saying that. I guess it depends on what laws they want enforced as to whether they have the ability or not.

Resign now and let someone who CAN and WILL enforce the laws take the job you CAN’T or WON’T do! Idiot.

Exactomondo!

Times TWENTY MILLION!!!NO way it's going to happen.

My gosh...they don't even allow our military to carry loaded rifles or guns while guarding ordnance on German bases.

Give it up. "You" lost our only chance to garner votes from 20+MILLION future Americans.

Thanks a lot. ;^)

This really poses the question, “why do people bother to play by the rules?”. I know of a guy who has been waiting 5 years to get a Visa. His wife is already here legally - a U.S. citizen. There doesn’t seem to be much incentive for him to continue to wait, when there are no penalties for coming here illegally.
