It's about stinkin' time!
WorldNetDaily reported today that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has announced the end of the "Catch and Release" program, where "other than Mexican" illegal immigrants were released into the US.
Law enforcement authorities are holding nearly all non-Mexican illegal immigrants caught in the U.S. until they can be deported to their home countries, Chertoff declared.
The new "catch and detain" policy, he noted, does not apply to Mexicans, who are to be sent back immediately after being stopped by Border Patrol agents.
The news isn't all rosy, however.
As WorldNetDaily reported today, the White House plans tomorrow to make a show of support for Rep. Mike Pence's proposed immigration compromise, which has been criticized by some conservatives as another form of amnesty.
The White House intends to make a push to get some form of immigration reform passed by the Senate and House so President Bush can sign the legislation before the November elections, the sources tell WND.
When you push for "some form of immigration reform," you get garbage that isn't worth the reams of paper it's printed on. Much better to push for real immigration enforcement.
