How about that? He's bought off the greedy geezers with our money, and now it looks like he's going to pander to the illegals next.
It's a darn good thing we have a republican house, senate, and president to keep such lunacy from happening.
No. Wait...

''I'm not saying make them citizens,'' Ridge said. ``They violated our laws to get here. You don't reward that kind of conduct.''You don't reward illegal conduct, except to give them some kind of status...okay, it feels like I stepped back in time to the height of Clinton's spin doctoring.
I can't see this happening but if it does...I could not honestly support the administration with my vote. Ridge's comments sound like something a liberal would spew.

Ridge is officially an idiot.

''I'm not saying make them citizens,'' Ridge said. ``They violated our laws to get here. You don't reward that kind of conduct.'' He's speaking out of both sides of his mouth then. If they are here illegally and you give them legal status, just what the heck is that Mr. Ridge? A punishment?
To: Klickitat
Ridge also urged the end of special screening for Islamic fith columnists immigrating to the U.S. to help undermine our Bill of Rights.
Ridge is a MEATHEAD. All meat - no brains.
The next thing you know, he will be suggesting a color coding system for illegal aliens - Arabs red, Mexicans orange, etc.
Ridge is a meathead who couldn't even deliver his own state to Bush in 2000. He is also an anti-gun nut.
When I saw Bush appoint Ridge, Powell, and Whitman to important posts in his administration, I KNEW we were in trouble.

''I'm not saying make them citizens,'' Ridge said.OH, well, it's all right, then! He doesn't want to make them citizens! What a relief! (sarcasm)
What an incredible IMBECILE this man is! Most of the illegals flooding in here now probably don't want to be citizens, anyway. They are loyal to their countries of origin. They just want to leech off the U.S. taxpayers for as much as they can get. They'll have all the benefits of citizenship, anyway, if Ridge gets his way, so what do they care if they are technically "citizens" or not? With driver's licenses they can even register to vote, and chances are nobody will stop them. Ridge wants to hand over the store to line-jumping, law breaking, America-hating, leeching invaders, slapping every legal immigrant in the face. This is unbelievable.

(1) The Bush Administration should announce that beginning on a given date U.S. immigration policy will be strictly enforced. Enforcement should begin as announced. (2) U.S. military troops should be placed along the entire length of the Mexican border to enforce its security.
(3) Amnesty and U.S. citizenship should be offered to all illegal aliens living in the U.S. who are not felons, who renounce citizenship of any other nation, and who apply for U.S. citizenship before a given date. All others should be deported.
(4) The Bush Administration should propose an amendment to the Constitution saying that birth in the U.S. does not automatically confer citizenship unless at least one parent is a U.S. citizen.
I agree with you and with 1, 2 and 3 but not 4. I wish more politicians thought like you. In fact, I think NOT implementing your points above is a threat to national security and the federal government is negligent in their duties to protect and police the borders.

and should be given ``some kind of legal status.'' I believe the legal status he is looking for is CRIMINAL INVADER.

All the more disingenuous when Ridge just met at Fort Huachuca a few days ago to watch the unmanned drones survey the border. What a stab in the back of the border efforts.

Ridge eyes Ariz. border defenses By Michael Marizco
ARIZONA DAILY STAR
PHOENIX - A massive crackdown against coyotes - people smugglers - needs to be sustained along with more high technology tools along the U.S.-Mexico border, Homeland Security Department Secretary Tom Ridge said Wednesday.
Ridge met with Arizona law enforcement officials in Phoenix to discuss the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's recent operation against people smugglers, then flew to Fort Huachuca for a presentation of the unmanned aerial drones the agency is preparing to deploy along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Ridge said such technology could reduce illegal immigration and cut deaths among border-crossers. Many migrants die of heat exposure and in accidents while crossing the harsh Arizona desert. ...

Hey Mr. Ridge, look what happened when Gray Davis sided
with Illegals-HE GOT HIS A__ KICKED OUT OF OFFICE! The
same thing will happen to you.
To: Klickitat
Michael Savage has a poll on his website concerning this
proposal by Mr. Traitor himself (Tom Ridge). Sounds
like Mr. Savage will be on fire tonight on his show!
To: Klickitat
Naming Ridge to head Homeland Security is akin to naming Jimmy Carter to be Sec. of Defense.

Just keep telling yourself, "this is a conservative, Republican administration and a Republican controlled Congress." You decide whether to laugh or cry.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Tuesday that he believes the vast majority of illegal immigrants in the United States are not a threat to national security and should be given ``some kind of legal status.'' AAGGGGGGGG!
Ridge you idiot.

Ridge is as bad Zeigler, might be time for him to leave soon, the open borders CATO Institute is calling.
I'll only support open borders if the rest of CATO's agenda is enacted- end public education, medicare, medicaid, minimum wage and social security.
