WASHINGTON (AP) -- Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff promised Tuesday to end the "catch and release" policy that has allowed tens of thousands of non-Mexican illegal aliens to disappear within the United States.

"Return every single illegal entrant -- no exceptions," Chertoff said in prepared testimony to a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on proposals to overhaul the immigration system.

8. US security chief (Chertoff) strives to expel all illegal immigrants

While improving the border security is always a positive step, this could be a very controversial issue, since "illegal" is not just the migrant crossing the border from Mexico, but also people in other immigration status, reviewing status, or in process of changing status. Chertoff says he will make "no exceptions."

Also, many illegal immigrants have very American wives and children already.

US security chief strives to expel all illegal immigrants


Oct 18 11:47 AM US/Eastern

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said his department aims without exception to expel all those who enter the United States illegally.

"Our goal at DHS (Homeland Security) is to completely eliminate the 'catch and release' enforcement problem, and return every single illegal entrant, no exceptions.

"It should be possible to achieve significant and measurable progress to this end in less than a year," Chertoff told a Senate hearing.

Thousands of "Mexicans who are caught entering the United States illegally are returned immediately to Mexico. But other parts of the system have nearly collapsed under the weight of numbers. The problem is especially severe for non-Mexicans apprehended at the southwest border," Chertoff explained. (...)

Considering how the Bush administration has handled everything before, they'll turn this new measure into a nightmare.

These are the people who brought you the Katrina mess.

9. I'll believe they are serious

when they prosecute businesses and rich people who purposefully hire illegals. Prosecute and fine businesses until they scream. Prosecute and jail rich people until they gasp in horror.
