Chertoff to Hand Obama Immigration Successes

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff declared success Wednesday on President Bush's vow to double the size of the U.S. Border Patrol and near-success on his pledge to build a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. The two measures leave President-elect Barack Obama in a better position to get an immigration bill passed, he said.

"Even in its dying days the Bush Administration is trying to get amnesty and citizenship for 20-40 million illegals (AKA Democrat voters)."

I understand what you are saying and your complaint but, the article only discusses Bush beefing up illegal immigrant ENFORCEMENT! I think the wheels came off your apple cart.

[SJSAMPLE]

So, doubling the size of a government agency is their measure of success.

Cops are the tool, not the goal.

[Deo volente]

Well, I've had “near-success” in building that rocket ship in my back yard that will take me and my family to Mars!

(Just a little project I've been working on...)

Chertoff has no conscience if he can leave office and let Ramos and Compean rot in prison for doing their jobs while a Mexican drug dealer gets immunity and 20-40+ Illegals are rewarded with amnesty. The world according to Chertoff is backwards and rewards the lawbreaker rather than the those who uphold the law.

Chertoff and “immigration successes” is the biggest oxymoron to come down the pike in quite a while.

[usurper]

It seems that they are more supportive of Obama, who will reverse everything Bush did.

He’s not that stupid. He will be big on border enforcement and stopping illegal immigration. But don’t worry the aliens will not stop coming, they will just be able to come through a port of entry with a guest worker card. Problem solved.

This has been the governments plan for the last 10 years.

Interesting... I got this in an email today:

...minus a couple communities that file legal action to block it in their region.

I have no problem with those kinds of cities.

That just means we'll have to circumnavigate their city limits to ensure they lie on the south side of the fence.

Problem solved.

They’re here, they are deeply entrenched and they are not leaving. Like fleas covering a dog, they will drink of blood until the dog dies.

[La Enchiladita]

In their mother countries there are no checks and balances upon governmental overreach. In their fatherlands there are no separations of church and state. In their homeland, they never accepted rights we accept as god-given. Even in business, the majority possess a “bossman” mentality that north generally do not accept.

Correct in every way, and this is what makes the Latin American "immigrant" so desirable to the powers-that-be. These people WANT socialism/communism, a la their hero Che.

Chertoff also noted that the seaports in New Mexico and Arizona are secure!

Yep....their organizing and ability to organize is what we are up against. We need a public voice, we need someone like a Tom Tancredo or Duncan Hunter to step forward and run with this...organizing and assembling All of the anti-amnesty/anti-illegal immigration/pro-border security groups, all under one umbrella. And then we must make a visual statement. If we don’t, our visual statement will come negatively, out of reaction and necessity.

[AmericanGirlRising]

Agreed. Without an organized public voice on this issue, we’ll be painted as obstructionist hatemongers.

If anybody has contact with Tancredo or Hunter, we’re interested...

“Correct in every way, and this is what makes the Latin American “immigrant” so desirable to the powers-that-be. These people WANT socialism/communism, a la their hero Che.”

Bears repeating.

[ari-freedom]

there was a big incentive to build the pipeline because of all the $$$ it would generate. Businesses want a pipeline but they don’t really want a border fence.

Successes? I guess if you want border guards imprisoned and the border wide open....I guess you could call that a success. All depends on your point of view.

[Grunthor]

“Near-success” is like, uh....FAILURE”

Depends on what they were trying to accomplish.

I am still doing a slow burn on Ramos and Compean. Johnnie Sutton is a worthless POS. He makes Nifong and Fitzpatrick(?) look like choir boys.

Glenn Beck was really the only one in media who really dug deep into the travesty that was the case that unfairly convicted R & C. Too bad the shot in the a$$ of the smuggler did not do more harm....
