In a Dec. 12, 2007 speech in Washington, D.C., Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff stressed the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS's) priorities in the 2008 calendar year which include immigration and border security, secure identification, cyber security and institutionalization of the functions within the department,
Chertoff again called for a comprehensive program that would provide options for the estimated 12 million immigrants currently living in the United States illegally.
Moreover, he recognized that "the government needs to make a down payment on credibility with the American people by showing we have the willingness to enforce the laws the way they are, and that we're prepared to use all the tools at our disposal to get the job done," Chertoff continued. "And that's a good deal of what we've done over the last year and what we intend to do over the year to come, although I am not prepared to give up on some kind of comprehensive reform, or at least some progress toward comprehensive reform, during 2008."
