Chertoff doing Bush's work.

Chertoff predicts dire consequences if border crossings are not tightened with stricter document regulations because of opposition from business interests.

"What do you think is going to happen to your business when a guy comes across the border with a phony document and blows up a target in Buffalo or Detroit?" he asked. "Do you think the American public is then going to allow the border to remain open?"

He said there would be security repercussions from Congress' failure to pass immigration reform. Chertoff had hoped that granting a path to citizenship to illegal immigrants would cut away "the tall grass" hiding criminal elements among the undocumented workers.

But now, Chertoff said, his agency must uphold current laws, and that means a further crackdown on workplaces.

"We are going to do more law enforcement actions," he said.

Conceding the raids are "going to be ugly" and tear parents from their children, Chertoff warned that "the consequences are going to be tough from an economic and humanitarian standpoint."
Do you believe this because they didn't pass the Bush immigration package they are trying to scare us by saying they are going to enforce the law in the work place.
I worked for the last 10 years in a plant with illegal aliens and they should enforce the law.
At the start I had sympathy for the illegals but i soon learned that the company used them to hold down wages and to make working conditions worse. The only people who profit from working the illegals aliens is the rich companies in this country and that is why Bush's crowd is so up set when they didn't get what they wanted. You say if they had passed that bill there would not have been illegals. Don't believe it. there would have been more and some where in that bill was protections for the rich and powerful to walk on the American worker.
Some how this group of politicians try to twist the facts to suit their purpose this is just another example of their work. The laws on the books are enough to stop the companies from working the illegal aliens and if they are enforced the aliens will go home.
