Title: Chertoff: We can't really enforce laws on illegals Post by: Soldier4Christ on July 01, 2007, 03:25:13 PM Chertoff: We can't really
enforce laws on illegals Homeland Security chief rips Senate for failing to pass immigration bill Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff is blasting the U.S. Senate for failing to pass an immigration bill, and claims the federal government doesn't have the ability to enforce laws when it comes to illegals working in America. "We're going to continue to enforce the law. It's going to be tough," Michael Chertoff said. "We don't really have the ability to enforce the law with respect to illegal work in this country in a way that's truly effective." Chertoff appeared on both "Fox News Sunday" and ABC's "This Week." As WND reported, a procedural vote in the Senate effectively killed the controversial immigration reform bill crafted by the White House, Democrats and key Republican leaders. Chertoff said Senate opponents deprived his department of the ability to ensure stricter enforcement by requiring companies to enter in a system to check their employees' work status. "That would be the single greatest additional weapon we could use if we're serious about tackling this problem," he said. "I wish we had some of the tools that were left on the floor of the Senate when they abandoned the bill last week, but we will do what we have to do with the resources we have at our disposal." Though lawmakers from both parties have said further action on immigration was doubtful this year, Chertoff expressed hope an overhaul of the current system was not dead. "I think we're going to say to the members of Congress who think they have a better way that they should produce legislation and pass legislation, which they have not done for the past two years," he said. Title: Re: Chertoff: We can't really enforce laws on illegals Post by: Faithin1 on July 05, 2007, 02:42:30 PM It’s infuriating to hear the Secretary of Homeland Security make such outlandish statements. The most powerful country in the world, can’t secure its borders without the passage of a bill granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Come on! That’s as ridiculous as saying you can’t secure your house unless you refuse to press charges against a burglar. I can only imagine our enemies ROFL at such idiotic comments.
To proclaim to the nation (and the world) that our government lacks the resources to close the borders and enforce our laws underscores the absolute deception and corruption of this administration. It is not that they can’t secure our borders. They won’t secure our borders. Had the amnesty bill passed, our borders would still remain open, because the ultimate goal is not sovereignty but the integration of the U.S., Mexico and Canada into the North American Union. Fortunately, Americans are beginning to open their eyes to the “real” reason for the lax border security. Thank God for the internet. If not for the wealth of information available via the internet, many people, including myself, would be oblivious to the NAU. The mainstream media is well aware of the threat posed by this, and are therefore complicit in this treason. The #1 topic of every media should be the NAFTA Superhighway and the North American Union. Instead, we are fed an incessant diet of Paris Hilton. Chertoff and the rest of the crooks should be fired. I get so angry at the sight of these traitors, I can hardly stomach the sight of them on TV. I have to constantly ask the Lord to strengthen me, because as a Christian, I really hate to feel such contempt. |
