Thread: U.S. to reform immigration: homeland security chief

Why I wonder do we have to get this news from Xinhua China?

Michael Chertoff, the visiting U.S. homeland security secretary, said here Friday that the United States would approve immigration reforms which include an amnesty for undocumented residents.

The future reforms need to put more focus on security and make U.S. citizens feel more secure, Chertoff said.

Total reform will allow the U.S. to focus on capturing what Chertoff described as "undesirables" -- criminals and other dangerous figures.

Chertoff, speaking to press during a visit to the U.S. chamber of commerce in Mexico City, said the U.S. needs "just and humane" reform.

He arrived in Mexico ahead of a visit to the country by U.S. President George W. Bush, as part of a larger tour of Latin America which will also take him to Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia and Guatemala.

Chertoff said it was possible that the U.S. Congress could approve such reforms before Bush leaves office in 2009.

The U.S. has been tightening migration policies and border security, sending 6,000 soldiers to the Mexico-U.S. border. The measures have made life much harder for undocumented migrants.

Chertoff said the U.S. has not adopted additional measures against Al Qaeda in response to threats by the armed Islamic group to attack Mexico, Canada and Venezuela, the major oil suppliers of the United States.

The threats showed that terrorism is not a problem that only affects the United States, he added.

Chertoff, speaking to press during a visit to the U.S. chamber of commerce in Mexico City, said the U.S. needs "just and humane" reform.

What we need and want is (1) American laws and justice to be upheld according to the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. This was your oath to the American people! And (2) reform against the despicable FABRICATORS in Congress and Presidency.

OUR COUNTRY IS BEING SOLD OUT ALL OVER THE GLOBE!

CHERTOFF IN MEXICO?!!!
GET YOUR BUTT HOME AND FIX DEFECTIVE HOMELAND SECURITY SO IT DOES ITS JOB!

I think Chertoff and Bush have a bigger fight on their hands than they're counting on.

I think we need to start a focus campaign to get Chertoff fired from his job, he evidently is not for the American citizens, to be saying in another country we are going to give amnesty, what is he now a psychic, able to make statements like that before Congress actually passes the bill?Is he trying to encourage more illegals to run to our country?

ShockedinCalifornia, except for a few honorable politicians, our entire government is for the NAU. Even our legal system is in league with them. This whole situation reminds me of Russia under the czar. And I think we all know what happened.

That our own leaders don't have the guts to tell us this BS themselves just goes to show what kind of people we have running this country.

We need choices for candidates that reflect the peoples good interests not corporations or some ideologues' soft and fuzzy, one world, can't we all just get along stupidity.

Be sure to read the Voice of America account where there is no mention of this statement.

Anyone find a link yet to a full text of the Chertoff speech? I'm kind of curious to see if the Chinese reporters are able to parse English in situations where our PC journalists can't.

Here's how the Miami Herald put it:

Chertoff: Immigration reform will make borders more secure

The Homeland Security chief said changes in U.S. immigration laws will help the Border Patrol to focus on real threats instead of on arresting people coming here to work.

What a slap in the face to the American people by the Miami Herald. But you have to remember the Miami Herald is no longer a fair an honest newspaper. They do not know what freedom is anymore. That is what happens to a newspaper when a city is overtaken by massive, massive, massive immigration, both illegal and legal. They can no longer speak the truth because if they do they will offend their patrons. So they present totally biased news and they bend the truth, negate the truth, twist the truth and censor the news.......whatever it takes to please their customers.

That is not news. That is not freedom. That is not America.

When politicians speak in Miami they must also censor, negate and twist the truth, otherwise they will not be tolerated. I believe we all remember when Congressman Tom Tancredo tried to speak in Miami what happened. It was deemed to be too unsafe and therefore Miami got what it wanted.....no opposing views on immigration.

Probably at least a million native Americans have felt it necessary to take their families and leave (flee) Miami since 1970, because they knew that their voices had been silenced. Many, mostly middle and lower middle class U.S. born citizens have fled Miami financially devastated, and with broken hearts as well, as they suddenly found themselves to have become refugees inside of their own country and in dire need to get out of the area in order to take care of their families.

I call them the true forgotten ones.

Chertoff said the U.S. has not adopted additional measures against Al Qaeda in response to threats by the armed Islamic group to attack Mexico, Canada and Venezuela, the major oil suppliers of the United States.

So here is more rationale for a North American Union....to protect oil interests in neighboring countries from terrorists. What a load of you know what.

This entire administration is full of decay and rot. Every one of them deserves to be in prison.
