Agreed.

Great news! Each of these criminals should be required to serve lengthy prison sentences, and should forfeit all ill-gotten assets. It’s time to make them really pay.

It is way past time. It will be interesting to see what Obama's latest LaRaza appointment will do in terms of the crack down illegal alien workers. She has made statements in the past that infers that she is an OBL and a racist.

News about several more key appointments by President-elect Barack Obama emerged today. His choice for Secretary of Labor will be Representative Hilda Solis of California, a bit of a surprise since she didn't seem to be on any of the short lists leaked so far. Solis comes from a union family and is a passionate supporter of the Employee Free Choice Act (also known as "card check," which would make it easier to organize workers in non-union workplaces). Her voting record on labor issues is very solid.
