U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez on Aug. 10, 2007, announced several procedural changes to strengthen enforcement of existing federal immigration laws.

As part of the enhanced enforcement effort, DHS finalized a set of regulations that employers must follow when they receive “no-matchâ€

"Gutierrez said that government officials were well aware that the crackdown could hurt some industries more than others—particularly agriculture, where more than half of workers are believed to be undocumented."

Try 2% Chertoff!!!!!!

...particularly agriculture, where more than half of workers are believed to be undocumented.

Didn't these same government officials just say they don't know who and where the illegals are and must bring them out of the shadows with an Amnesty bill?

Is the illegal agriculture number padded up that after the crackdown and labor shortage, they can introduce another guest worker program bill?
