Chertoff Says Border Will Be Secure 3 Years After Bush Leaves
CNSNews.com ^ | June 10, 2008 | Penny Starr

Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff on Monday blamed tightened security on the U.S.-Mexico border for increased violence there, and he said the border probably will not be fully secured until 2011, three years after President Bush leaves office.

"(Increased violence) is what typically happens when you start to enforce and make it harder to fight over the shrinking pie, so to speak, and who gets the best opportunity to exploit the additional space that's left," Chertoff said at a news conference at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Monday.

"That's a good sign," he said. "The bad news is, it's created a lot of violence and created a lot of havoc, particularly in Mexico."

Chertoff added that quelling the violence will require working with the Mexican government - and millions of dollars from American taxpayers if Congress funds the Merida Initiative. The multi-year proposal would give Mexico $500 million and $50 million to Central America in 2008 to fight the drug cartels - another $450 million and $100 million respectively will be given for fiscal year 2009.

"We simply do not have enough workers at both ends of the spectrum," Gutierrez said, "from low-skilled field laborers to high-skilled technology workers."

That's a bunch of bull! Oklahoma's unemployment rate decreased after it passed more strict anti illegal immigration laws. There are more than enough American IT workers! The problem is Congress increased the number of H1B working visas a few years, due to influence from lobbyists on behalf of large IT firms, in order to bring in cheaper labor from India. The result is displaced American IT workers.

Easy for you to say Chertie. You won’t be there. Come to think of it, if you are out of the way, it actually could happen.

Chertoff doesn't get it.

Obama's lawless society won't have a need for border security.

McCain's amnesty will grant all of the criminals the right to stay here.

Either way, individual Americans had better utilize their Second Amendment rights to stock up while they still can.

McCain is lukewarm to the 2nd Amendment, and Obama is a Stalinist toward the concept of self-defense.

Either way, I don't see any type of true border security or immigration law for the foreseeable future.

It's up to the states, cities and individuals to defend themselves against the horde of criminal invaders, because the federal government doesn't give a rat's ear about us.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Chertoff does look like Skeletor now that you have juxtaposed them together.

Why did he lose all of that weight?

Good job! Bush and Congress failed America in this regard.

A noble effort Mr. Chertoff, but unless the Border is effectively sealed by Jan 2009 you may as well start job hunting right now.

Maybe if we offered citizenship to illegals who join Border Patrol and receive bonuses for how little traffic passes through their assigned section of the border...

“”(Increased violence) is what typically happens when you start to enforce...”

Admission of guilt. Border Security is one of the major functions the Founders created the Fed for in the first place. There should have been enforcement all along. The Fed reniged on there responsibility.

Wow, that was a great interview. His comments about the judge appointments conflicts with his "Gang of 14" past, does it not?

Why does McCain receive lukewarm grades on the 2nd Amendment, then?

Gunowners of America gave him an "F-"

What's the deal?

Can’t remember the last time I got a magazine or newsletter from GOA so don’t know their position.

“(Increased violence) is what typically happens when you start to enforce and make it harder to fight over the shrinking pie, so to speak, and who gets the best opportunity to exploit the additional space that’s left,”

I blame the corrupt Mexican government, the scum who are actually doing the killing and the US government for not securing our border over the last decades.
