   A note about that $4.4 billion - another ruse. Senator DeMint had the Congressional Research Service look into the particulars of that particular carrot, and learned that “Supporters of the bill say it provides $4.4 billion in immediate mandatory spending for border enforcement, but according to the CRS analysis, the funds could also be used immediately to implement the amnesty provisions in the bill.”

   Don Chertoff has sold out the Americans to the Law breaking illegals, employers and the Mexican government. As we can see with the recent London attacks, nut roots will start to ask, “ Could the government have done anything to prevent this? If so, it’s their fault.” The leadership at Homeland security is setting the Republican Party up for failure.

    His arrogance is only exceeded by his foolishness.
    Time to replace him with someone that is not a political hack. Someone with REAL creditials in security. And someone who is genuine in their concerns for the protection of the Amercian people.

    As talk radio and conservative bloggers demonstrated, the power of change is still in the hand of the people no matter how maliciously the federal government is trying to shove unpopular decision in people’s throats.

    Chertoff and other Bushies can do little to protect the American people.

    The first line in securing this country lies in the hands of the people who out of love for their country raised hell on the government by forcing it to start building a fence on the Mexican border, and by defeating a legislation that would’ve granted pardons to millions of outlaws.

    The vigilance, the courage and the patriotism of the American people will defeat the Muslim terrorists, not Chertoff, not Bush and certainly not the Communists Democrats.

    I always thought this guy was a dud. When this Dept. was being formed by congress, I regularly email my Senator Susan Collins, who was in charge of writing the bill, to say this dept is too big and will never work. They cobbled together a bunch of different agencies with different cultures. It’s now so big and dis-functional with so many different missions and priorities from border security to terrorism to natural disasters. Every time I see Chertoff on TV , all I hear is a lawyer parsing words….blah blah blah.

Yeah, that was absolutely the right priority - especially as ABC News is now reporting intelligence chatter on the order of pre-9/11 for a domestic attack this summer.

    I watched Secretary Sure-Fool on Fox News Sunday. It is obvious that the President Bush Administration is not serious about building a Wall, sanctioning Tamper Proof ID cards and Employer Sanctions unless we give them the Amnesty they are fighting for! According to this Former Federal DA, the only one allowed to stay on in the Justice Department after Clinton fired every other Federal Attorney, is it is up to Legislative Branch to put forth a BILL. Hello, Sure-cough it was the Senate that put together that Toothless Frankenstein of a Bill that his Boss was supporting. Why? Read Sovietologist Fredo Arias King’s take on this. He is an American educated Mexican National who was an advisor to Vicente Fox. He met with over 50 US Senators on multiple occasions and said:

    Some (US)legislators had also mentioned to us (oftentimes laughing) how they had “defanged” or “gutted” anti-immigration bills and measures, by neglecting to fund this program or tabling that provision, or deleting the other measure, etc. “Yes, we passed that law, but it can’t work because we also…” was a usual comment to assuage the Mexican
    delegations.

    Given that this Author is a Mexican National and not some Conservative “Neo-Con” and our our Leaders in Washington are mostly Pro-Immigration I think he may be on to something. Especially when he discusses that the Federalist Papers indicate that a Key to making our “Inspired” Constitution and System of Democracy work is the “Vigilant and Manly Spirit which actuates the people of America!” Apparently Jefferson speculated “whether Latin American societies could be governed thus?” Read it and then take action aka VOTER IMPOSED TERM LIMITS FOR US LEGISLATORS! The Fairness Doctrine that GOP Senators Lott and Graham seem to support will shut up us “Loud” “Vigilant and Manly” voters and Amnesty may give them Clientelism(”Clientelismo”), a prominent phenomenon of the Political systems South of the Border and Amnesty may give them the type of constituents our National Leaders Prefer! More Malleable….

    Some of the Fort Dix suspects did just that yet it barely managed a blip. The sad truth is we are in a war for survival right now and alot of people just dont care.

    The Houston Chronicle was apparently reading from the same playbook.
    
    Let us fisk shall we?

    The bill did not pass, so clearly it is impossible for it to have had an effect. Could it be that the stepwise increase in interior enforcement might be playing a role? If so, that would give lie to the usual statement that it is unreasonable to think that it is possible to deport 12-20 million (Or is the number really closer to 30-40 million? Who the hell knows?) people.
    Clearly enforcement is having an effect far beyond the numbers of people that are actually being caught. People are not hiring illegals because they are afraid that they might just lose their business or go to prison or both. Just IMAGINE what would happen if enforcement was where it SHOULD be!

    I wonder why Conservative Constitutional Law Type, Senator John Kyl of Arizona pushing Amnesty last week when last year while running for re-election he was against it? Seems that he is running for a new and permanent Position where voting is of no issue….He wants to be Bush’s next Nomination to the SCOTUS! See Federal Observer for details:

    He began his career as a lawyer, became president of the AZ Chamber of Commerce and eventually became AZ Republican Party Chair, ran for Congress and ultimately for the US Senate. He loved the power of being a US Senator, but there was something missing. Rather than having to run for re-election periodically trying to convince voters not to hold him accountable for his voting record, he really wanted to be a judge. Not just a county or state judge, but a federal judge with a lifetime appointment…no matter how blatantly he pandered to special interests or powerful politicians.

    Like JeffWNV says Bush “Lap Dogs”, guess Kyl is another one waiting for a dog bone…These Plutarchs of both Parties running the Country are going to get us killed when Beslan takes place in a Border Town! DISGUSTING!

    Voting them out of OFFICE is the only answer!

    If he can’t enforce the laws on the books then the administration needs to get someone who can.

    By the way, what was he enforcing before the immigration bill was defeated? After all, he was doing his best to convince the public that they will be tough on enforcing immigration laws.

    I don’t guess he sees the irony of it all — he says he can’t enforce the current laws but is criticizing the senate for not passing additional unenforceable laws.

    I think they fired the wrong fellow after Katrina. Where’s “you’re doing a good job” Brownie when you need him?

    I predict that if Chertoff ever does attempt to enforce the laws on the books, he will go after the elderly, widows and orphans making sure the cameras are rolling in order to garner sympathy and show conservatives how wrong they were in defeating it.

    He knows that our economy would fall apart if we did not have hard working Amigos from the south to pick our sacred lettuce, doing the job that lazy Americans would not even do for $50 an hour.

    He also knows, WHAT APPARENTLY NONE OF YOU DO, that lettuce is a wonder plant.

    Someday soon a cure for cancer will be found from an extract from lettuce.

    Someday soon highly fermented lettuce will power all our cars.

    Someday soon lettuce reactor plants will provide all of our electricity.

    A derivative from lettuce may even hold the cure for old age!!!

    And the thing is folks that only hard working Amigos from the south know how to pick the sacred lettuce plant in just the right and loving way to keep it from losing all of these magical properties.

    The buck stops at the Oval Office. The greatest failing of Bush the Younger was not putting our country on a war footing on 9/12. This means, among other requirements I will likely mention from time to time, securing our borders against “fifth columnists.” During World War II and the Korean War, homeland security was known as civil defense, implying that vigilance in protecting our country was the responsibility of each and every one of us, if only to actively assist the authorities. The phrase “homeland security” implies that we leave our defense to professionals. This appears to be in keeping with the business as usual philosophy of the Bush Administration that has caused us much failure and embarrassment.
