Excuses for Foreign Invasion

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is making excuses for allowing a silent invasion of the United States.

From USA Today:

He dismissed the argument of Republican conservatives, such as Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Calif., who argue that illegal immigrants will leave if strict enforcement of U.S. laws makes it impossible for them to find a job.

"You're not going to replace 12 million people who are doing the work they're currently doing," Chertoff said. "If they don't leave, then you are going to give them silent amnesty. You're either going to let them stay or you're going to be hypocritical."

Bilbray said his idea hasn't worked because "there's been a conscious strategy of not enforcing the law."

Then Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez adds a new excuse: we don't have enough people in the work force.

"The reality is, we don't have enough people," said Gutierrez, adding that many of the USA's economic competitors, such as France, Germany, Japan and China, will be facing a similar demographic shift.

Now here's a novel idea: instead of killing 1.3 million unborn children in the United States every year, let's allow them to be born, replace illegal immigrants in our work force with natural-born citizens, and send every illegal alien we can find packing.

But no; enforcing existing border/immigration laws is too much trouble. Much easier just to kill unborn children and replace them with cheap labor from Mexico.
