Chertoff & Chao refuse to go to immigration hearing

2 Bush Cabinet secretaries back out of Senate immigration hearing

Two of
President Bush's Cabinet secretaries scrapped scheduled appearances Tuesday before a Senate hearing on overhauling immigration law, raising questions about the president's commitment to repairing the nation's immigration system.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., displayed frosty annoyance after
Homeland Security Secretary
Michael Chertoff and Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao backed out of the committee's first major hearing this year to begin shaping an immigration bill.

"We're going to do our work," Specter said. "When the administration wants to chime in, we'll be ready to listen."

I keep saying:

our borders are open because the criminal bushgang want them open


Specter sounds like he's talking to children. his language needs upgraded.

the bushgang does not do "chime". chime relates to harmony

1. Come on Specter...actually put your foot down!
Tell them to come and talk or accuse them of having something to hide.
