But before I outline our vision, I want everyone in this room to know how committed the President is to solving this problem. Just a few days ago, when he signed the DHS appropriations bill, he said that it is his Administration's goal to catch and remove every single illegal entrant caught at the border -- with no exceptions.Those were carefully chosen words [a la Clinton ??] and the President meant each one of them. That's why he told me that one of his highest priorities for DHS is to get control of the border and restore confidence in our immigration laws. And I'm going to do just that.
Temporary Worker Program
Nope. No way, no how. The guest worker nonsense will be just another loophole that every criminal, terrorist, and free-loader will utilize to enter this country.
The unions are for illegals because they want to eventually 'organize' them. This country does not need a permanent new 'subclass' of cheap labor. There is NO job an American won't do, just jobs they don't want to do because of crappy pay from greedy employers.
Pretty soon computer programmers, policemen, garbagemen, teachers, etc. will be 'jobs Americans don't want to do'.
The only way to fix this problem is remove all the economic opportunities that draw illegals across our borders.
oh yes, and blanket amnesty.
I'll bet Chirtoff thinks he scored with this announcement. Let's look at just one aspect of illegal immigration that the ole boy forget to mention.
In Los Angeles the Unified School District, affectionately known as the LAUSD (NOT), manages a student populace that is at least 1/3rd the children of illegal immigrants.
So bad is the current situation, that LAUSD cannot physically build school rooms fast enough to house the children of illegals that show up in greater numbers every day.
Much as been made about the 'Big Dig' in Boston. It is the largest single construction project in the United States. You haven't heard so much as a peep about the second largest construction project in the United States. It's the building effort in Southern California to create enough classrooms so that we can accomodate the children of illegal aliens.
When the cost of illegals is tallied, this building project is NOT on the tally sheet.
If Chertoff were being sincere, he'd know right where to find hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants and their parents. He is not sincere. This is once again a nice smoke and mirrors effort that we have come to recognize before the words are even out of the mouths of the new quisling masters.
Chertoff, go suck an egg. You and I both know we'll be burdened with paying the bills of the illegal immigrant. Don't patronize me. I'm sick of it!
They still don't get it, We want all illegals gone, then bring them back in a regulated manner if we need the labor, but this your safe if you get past the border nonsense has never worked and America is fed up with this open invasion of our cities and states.
Interesting post.
I can live with a "guest worker" program. Photo, fingerprints, retinal scans and a DNA sample, if you please.
Line forms at the border- on the South side.
What I don't want to see is any amnesty program that lets those who entered the US illegaly ever become citizens. Permanent residents, yes- but not full citizens.
I would grant an exception to this for illegals who agree to join the Armed Forces for a ten-year hitch.
Why don't we hear the Dems railing about the horrible treatment and exploitation of illegals in the U.S.? They are literally treated worse than slaves. They have to accept literal "coolie wages" and unsafe working conditions. Those who complain are either fired with no recourse, or handed over to the INS.
Where are the champions of the working man on this issue?
The Republican Party should use illegal immigration as a wedge issue, to separate the Unions and Hispanics from the rich white elitists in the Democratic Party.
I quit reading this here : "President Bush has placed ever-increasing importance on immigration control, including border security"

Interior Enforcement
DHS will strengthen interior enforcement efforts to target those who enter illegally by unequivocally enforcing our laws and making sure that removal is achieved.
Workplace Enforcement: DHS will implement an employer self-compliance program that will link government and business in a united effort to reduce the employment of unauthorized aliens in specific industries. The partnership will assemble a "best practices" methodology that employers will use to minimize certain known vulnerabilities in the legally required employment eligibility verification process. The employers will assist DHS by using their corporate and industry leadership to influence competitors, vendors, and contractors to adopt the best practices methods to ensure all businesses dealing with participating corporations are in compliance with legal hiring requirements.
DHS will seek to strengthen current worksite enforcement regulations to place an affirmative duty on employers to make inquiries on information suggesting that their employee is not authorized to work.

ping for the latest in immigration reform
Do they then contact the immigration authorities? Nope, that's not fair and they can't do that.
I'm in Los Angeles so I feel your pain.
Chertoff went on record last week stating the so-called "guest worker program" would be part of the new "strategy" (I believe it was on the Sean Hannity show). The President has no intention of deporting all illegals. He is throwing us a bone, hoping we will forget about illegals for a while.
Throughout history there havent been too many of those. Not really.
And, yes, you are correct about this being beneath slavery. Something in my life I never thought Id see surpassed in this country! A slaveowner at least had to feed the slave, clothe him, get a doctor when he was sick. When the slave got old the master had to care for him.
The new masser has convieniently even bypassed that. Theyre not dumb. Corrupt, evil, willing slavemasters, but not dumb.
Much of this, of course, is due to their own kind, who smuggle them, rape them, exploit them, envolve them in organized crime and drugs. Not much different than the tribal leaders in Africa did with their own when they rounded them up and sold them to the slavetraders. They expliot their own for whatever particular piece of silver they deem they need at the time. Thats how little they care about the working man.
Bigotry at its finest. And they tell us this is compassionate?
He who controls the language controls the debate. Our words are twisted out of shape, ie. guest worker, undocumented, etc., etc., etc.
GOD, they must really think we are stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In recent months, Mark Krekorian has said that the illegals cannot be deported and we will have to rely on his attrition theory to remove the illegals.
Tom Tancredo, in his recent immigration reform bill, said that the illegals can't be be deported and we will have to rely on the theory of attrition to remove the illegals.
Downsize the Illegals!

More empty, meaningless rhetoric to serve the folk.
Mmmmm, yeah. I want my stapler back. Bad things could happen. I don't think the management takes us seriously. The fire escape plans should be looked at. Yeah uhumn.
Mr. Chertoff needs to hear from us. He needs to know that Americans aren't falling for these lies anymore. He has heard from me already.
