Getting Tough on Illegal Immigration

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said today that his department is set to get tough on illegal immigration.

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.

I’d say it’s about time. Do you think they’ll follow through on this?
