HomEland Security chief MichaEl ChErtoff said today that he understands the trauma caused by the government's crackdown on illegal aliens.  (AP story) 

He said he feels the pain of employers who are left short staffed when their workers are deported.

I am kinda not thinking of businesses when the subject of disruption due to sudden deportations comes up.  Maybe it's only because redozdachs and I are watching the first season of Ugly Betty on DVD.  Or, maybe it's my lefty liberal pinko commie bleeding heart upbringing.

I don't know.  Maybe I'm wrong?  I should have more compassion for those poor businesses who need undocumented workers so that they can pay sub-minimum wages to those criminals who entered our country illegally???

Naw.
