Mighty Tough Words

These are some mighty tough words:

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.

Now, let's see some action.

Indeed. I must admit to beng skeptical about any Republican, especially an offical of this administration, talking tough on immigration. Rarely do we see any follow-through. I'd love to surprised, but I doubt it.
