FEDS VOW TO GET TOUGH ON ILLEGALS Tue Aug 23 2005 17:15:30 ET

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, acknowledging public frustration over illegal immigration, said Tuesday that the federal government's detention and deportation system must be fundamentally restructured.

"We have decided to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem and solve it once and for all," Chertoff said during a breakfast meeting with reporters.

The NEW YORK TIMES is planning a front page placement for the Chertoff comments on Wednesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

The unusually blunt assessment by the nation's top immigration official comes after governors in New Mexico and Arizona recently declared a border-related "state of emergency," citing a surge in smuggling and violence associated with the steady flow of illegal immigrants.

Amazing. Believe it when I see it will be the common sentiment on this.
Lets hope they mean it.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Standing back is unusually blunt?
No new news here.......

The feds must be getting worried about the restless natives (of the USA). They are blowing more smoke than usual.

Of course, until we see the present waist high rusty cow fence replaced by a modern multiple fence system, we will know it is only smoke and lies, meant to gull the sheeple back to sleep.

After a long established history of deliberate indifference to this problem, I'll need more than wind to convince me.

Rather than taking Mr. Chertoff at his words, I'll wait and see what their actions are. And THAT BETTER NOT BE AMNESTY I SMELL!

Only benefits illegals get is a deportation

"We have decided to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem and solve it once and for all," Chertoff said during a breakfast meeting with reporters.

Translation...ignore the problem completely and continue minimal enforcement of current immigration law and border security.

[madtiger]

I hear ya. It is more like aggravated apathy.

Chertoff is getting more press now...he and La Gubernadora made the local front page above the fold. Need to see if it's online, yet...

[meema]

LOL! I'll believe that when I see it, Secretary Chertoff!

And I won't be holding my breath!

[thelastvirgil]

Chertoff might just be the catalyst we need to get this ridiculous open border situation under control. Let us hope he is, and a few thousand e-mails to him might stiffen his resolve. Anyone?

[skeeter]

We have decided to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem and solve it once and for all,

Care to be more specific, Secty Chertoff? This sounds suspiciously like all the other flakey pronouncements from the administration on this subject.

After a long established history of deliberate indifference to this problem, I'll need more than wind to convince me.

You mean deciding "to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem" along with plans to "solve it once and for all" didn't impress you?

"We have decided to stand back and take a look at how we address the problem and solve it once and for all," Chertoff said during a breakfast meeting with reporters."

Well, WTF have you been doing all these years, jack-ass? This clown has about the same amount of common sense as fatso Tommy Ridge. Is there a brain infection in DC? (That was a rhetorical question).

[Travis McGee]

Just remember,¨"guest worker program" is spelled "amnistia" in Mexico.

[the anti-liberal]

Believe it when I see it

Very first words to pop into my head. You said it!
