Were Chertoffs Recent Comments Another Attempt to Equate the Undocumented with Terrorists?
The blogosphere is “abuzz” with the comments made yesterday by Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff (Source: Chicago Tribune) It seems the Secretary, during face-time with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, stated matter-of-factly that the United States was under increased risk of terrorist attack this summer — based on a “gut feeling” he had and past summer attack trends of Al-Qaeda. The White House was quick to denounce Chertoff’s gut. Maybe it was coincidence, or one of those ironic things again (see previous post) that happens in life, but funny that Chertoff should make such a statement when he was in town to address the national conference of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).

- Chertoff says explicitly that he does not endorse giving licenses to undocumented immigrants. Doesnt that mean he still thinks that part of the system is not secure?
- Should the campaign include specific outreach targeted at recent documented/undocumented immigrants?
- Are terrorists trying to blend into the Mexican culture in an attempt to later harm the U.S.?
