I don’t have much to add to the undocumented immigrants cleaning the Department of Homeland Security Secretary’s home, but I love how the story is being spun that the cleaning company sent the workers. One would hope that someone in a position to enforce immigration laws and policies would be extra careful about any labor employed inside his home, especially since so many people have been caught doing this (see Zoe Baird and Linda Chavez).
But I did like this blog post summing up this latest display of hypocrisy from the people at America’s Voice. Check it out when you get a chance.

Must we remind ourselves that Michael Chertoff, the outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security, along with Viet Dinh is the author of the USA PATRIOT Act? That infamous act alone addresses the heartless hypocrisy this man promotes to the American people, and it contradicts the principles and history of his ethnic background. You can write 10,000 words on this man’s political abuses, but why give him the spotlight. He is just another walking feces who betrayed his principles to serve Bush. And he would’ve done the same for Adolf Hitler.
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is Michael Chertoff’s career in a nutshell.

Michael Chertoff had to blend into the whole cast of political inbreds populating the Bush Administration. Of course that really wasn’t a stretch. After his experience working with Ken Starr investigating Whitewater, Michael Chertoff was already accustomed to wasting tax dollars for political witch hunts. His use of illegal migrants to clean his house clearly displays his arrogance for the laws he enforces on other people. He’s worse than walking feces. He’s a giant pile of feces.

This is just another example of hardcore cronyism practiced by the Bush Administration. You would think the vetting process, especially to head Homeland Security, would have genuine concerns regarding someone’s past personal, professional and political behavior. But it doesn’t. Michael Chertoff is further proof of that.

This topic is way over the heads of most of the Latino community. Only people who scan topics at the Washington Post would appreciate this commentary.
