| 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.'' Ridge's comments came during a town hall meeting at Miami Dade College in response to a question from the audience about whether offering amnesty to illegal immigrants might make them easier to track and make the country safer.
Who's surprised?

Ridge is setting you up for Amnesty. The argument will be made that we need to legalize the Illegals and document them, as a security matter.
This is a Trojan Horse for Bush and Rove's Amnesty, nothing less.

Ridge says Mexican consular ID cards have security problems
While saying any changes in immigration laws would have to be approved by Congress, Ridge said he believed there was growing momentum to change the way the nation dealt with illegal immigrants. ''I'm not saying make them citizens,'' Ridge said. "They violated our laws to get here. You don't reward that kind of conduct.''
How many sides does his mouth have? "Not making them citizens" is now the bar to determine if Illegals have been rewarded for lawbreaking? They've been rewarded for years by the malfeasance of characters like Tom Ridge. What a disingenuous shill. Of course giving legal status to Illegals is a reward for lawbreaking. Whether that status is as a "guest worker" or by green card, it's a step to eventual citizenship, if the Amnestied Illegal so desires.
