Gee, Ya think?

DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff , as reported in the New York Times, said that Americans are “rightly distressed about a situation in which they feel we do not have the proper control over our borders.”

No, really?

He went on to say that DHS plans to go beyond the simple answer of more border patrol agents, to add cameras and fences, and expedite deportation.

Hopefully, we’re finally going to get tough on this issue. It’s unfortunate that it has to come as a reaction to Democrat posturing on immigration, but maybe it’s the wake up call the Right side of the aisle needed.
