Today the feds will announce a huge nationwide crackdown on illegal immigrants, especially gang members.

The goal is to take some of the more violent illegal immigrants off the streets.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says the crackdown serves as an example of how important the issue is. "For many years, the way we dealt with illegal immigration was we paid political lip service to toughness. I think we've got to show the public that we are serious about enforcing the laws."

I read a post elswhere that said even if we deport 10,000 a month it will take 10 years to get them all.

We’d better get started and open an express lane. Cutting social services and penalizing people who employ them and will help start the exodus.

Too late for you to have any credibility on this whatsoever, Chertie. You've shown your hand. "Homeland Security"... phfft. Smoke and mirrors.

Why start now? There are so many Americans left to be raped and murdered by illegals.

If they truly want to catch illegal immigrants, all they have to do if follow the California free tuition program for illegal immigrants which is sitting on the Republican Governor’s desk.

All the major politicians are all pushing for the same long term goals, because they are all funded by globalists. We fuss over the empty peanut shells while they make fools of us and run away with the gold.

I’ll take a ride in a bit to the Culmore Shopping Center in Northern Viginia. Let’s see if the 75 to 100 “undocumented immigrant day laborer” illegals have gone back into the shadows of the 7-11 parking lot due to this “crackdown”.

On the day I see Hormel, Libby, Tyson, Swift, et al placing 10,000 help wanted ads at livable American wages, that’s the day I’ll know that Chertoff is serious.

Which he is not, as a rule.

Jailtime for American employers and significant penalties of $100K to $10M will do nicely to start the exodus.

Just throwing us a few crumbs, hoping we will shut up and go away. It’s a good thing but not nearly enough, even for a start.

You won’t find them in the fields picking crops. I hear that the crops are rotting in the fields.
