Michael Chertoff, Homeland Security Secretary either has a lot of optimism or else he is a braggart of imense proportions.
"It should be possible to achieve significant and measurable progress to this end in less than a year," Chertoff told a Senate hearing.
An admirable goal and I hope I'm wrong and that he can accomplish even half of that, but he will get no help from congress, or the adminsitration for that matter. Bush is for amnesty (under a different name) and "worker permits." Congress for the most part either want the cheap labor (Republicans), or potential votes (Democrats) legal or not. The latter also being one of the reasons Democrats strongly oppose valid Voter ID legislation.
