This CSPAN WMV file has DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff saying the following:
"If we're going to change the dynamic here we've gotta be completely honest with the American people about what's practical and what's impractical, about how long it's going to take, about how much it's going to cost and about what the collateral consequences are going to be and this bill was an effort to really be straight with the American public...
...After promoting a "holistic" aka comprehensive approach, the host asks about the NYT Mexican consulates article. Chertoff replies:
"I don't think the Mexicans are encouraging illegal migration in this country, I don't think they're discouraging it... I think they're servicing their citizens in another country... as long as they comply with the law that's really their business....I think they realize that in the long run they're better off [with a "guest" worker program with circular movement]"

It seems clear that the Mexican government HAS been aiding and encouraging illegal immigration. In addition, they seem to encourage a notion of “dual citizenship” and voting in both countries’ elections.
Let’s help them some more. Use their dime to call, call, call.
1-800-882-2005. (Spanish number)
1-800-417-7666. (English number)
Both statements are big fat lies
Hey Chertoff, can we just adopt Mexico’s comprehensive immigration policies? They seem to make things clear in a lot less than 800 pages.
IIRC, there is a provision in the Patriot Act that allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend any Law that stands in the way of building the Fence.....how long has Cherthoff been the Secretary????????
“I don’t think the Mexicans are encouraging illegal migration in this country”
That’s an obvious lie.
The Mexican Government proudly and openly does so.
Where does Chertoff get for saying such a bald-faced lie?
“I don’t think the Mexicans are encouraging illegal migration in this country, I don’t think they’re discouraging it...
I know he's not on the same planet as the rest of America, but I thought he was still in the same universe.
Was I ever wrong on that one!
Today on Michelle Malkin's HotAir.com Chertoff is quoted:
"I understand that some people think it's not enough. Maybe they want people thrown in jail for ten years or they want people executed."
Claiming that Americans want to execute 20 million people is a step far too far, Chertoff should be fired!

Somebody post the BS meter . . . quick!
Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
- in the country legally
- have the means to sustain themselves economically
- not destined to be burdens on society
- of economic and social benefit to society
- of good character and have no criminal records
- contributors to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that:
- immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor
- foreign visitors do not violate their visa status
- foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics
- foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported
- foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported
- those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison
Damn liar Chertoff!
Bravo Sierra!
I think Chertoff should just go back to his former job - as an extra in Star Wars.
And I’m Mr. Green Jeans.
Thank for your anal pretense, Mr. Chertoff.
No, open debate leading up to this fiasco would have been..."an effort to really be straight with the American public" on such an important issue you elitist creep.
And this guy is DHS Secretary??? GOD HELP US!!!
