Wonder why Chertoff decided that illegal immigration for "economic" reasons was important in the last 90 days or so. Just a couple of months ago, he was on a talk show and said that ICE didn't have the resources (money, men) to chase those with no other illegal acts. They were too busy chasing drug dealers and potential terrorists. The old canard that "we can't deport ?? million" seems to have vanished. Now, all of a sudden, ICE has the resources to enforce the immigration laws against those who hire larger numbers of illegals (chicken pluckers, airport workers, etc).

Can we get them to round up the "day laborers" standing around the local Home Depot stores? Hit the building areas of new home contractors and see who is swinging the hammers? Hit any area that has gone through a hail storm and check roofing contractors and their employees? Hit the restaurants all over the place? Hit the landscaping industry in almost any city? Hit the laborers doing road construction? Hitting any of these does not take a SWAT team. One person can do the job. Simply checking these potential hot spots would cause mass migration of illegals to "more friendly" areas. Hit enough spots and the more friendly area would be their original, legal home. The people in charge of these illegals could be arrested and prosecuted. This done a few times would dry up the employers of illegals. The news all across the land is that the tough enforcement of immigration laws by local authorities causes mass movement of illegals to more friendly territories - some are even said to go back to their country of origin. Obviously, a crackdown on ALL illegals throughout the U.S. (and so-called sanctuary cities) would cause illegal immigrant self-deportation just like we have been screaming. Why is this so hard for some to see?
