Government to Step Up Immigration Law Enforcement

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration plans to step up immigration enforcement by raising fines on employers who hire undocumented workers, overhauling temporary worker programs and speeding up deployment of border agents, according to a summary of the plans.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez planned to announce broad immigration changes at a news conference Friday.

Some of the initiatives are similar to proposals contained in recent immigration legislation, although they are not nearly as sweeping as the bill that failed to pass the Senate. Other measures are already under way.

An outline of the announcement, obtained by The Associated Press from a congressional aide, said the administration plans to expand the list of international gangs whose members are automatically denied admission to the U.S., reduce processing times for immigrant background checks and install by the end of the year an exit system so the departure of foreigners from the country can be recorded at airports and seaports.

You have no right to bitch about the criminals if you don't make the call.

Yeah, sure, Jorge, you'll deploy more agents to monitor the borders, but then when they enforce the law, you'll stick them in prison and destroy their lives.

You're a two-faced hypocrite who should never have been elected and will go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever. I hang my head in shame and disgust for ever trusting you.
