Chertoff: Illegals ‘Degrade’ Environment

"Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff on Monday defended the construction of a fence along the southwest border, saying it’s actually better for the environment than what happens when people illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico line. ‘Illegal migrants really degrade the environment. I’ve seen pictures of human waste, garbage, discarded bottles and other human artifact in pristine areas,’ Chertoff said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. ‘And believe me, that is the worst thing you can do to the environment.’"
Finally, we get a rock-solid explanation about all this immigration hysteria. It’s not because we’re xenophobes, it’s because we’re environmentalists. We’re keeping out immigrants because they’re dirty. Letting in more immigrants is the absolute worst thing you can do to the environment, in fact. And that, dear citizens, is why they’re building the border fence out of plutonium.
