Resolute Michael Chertoff vows to do something about sanctuary cities

In a performance no doubt worthy of the over-acting evident in professional wrestling, DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff vows to do something about those cities with sanctuary policies. He vowed to enforce the new no-match requirements (Basic Pilot Program):
Mr. Chertoff told the House Homeland Security Committee: "I certainly wouldn't tolerate interference" by cities who attempt to block the program.

"We're exploring our legal options," Mr. Chertoff said. "I intend to take as vigorous legal action as the law allows to prevent that from happening, prevent that kind of interference."
Sounds good so far! Of course, he then went on to say:
"I don't know that I have the authority to cut off all Homeland Security funds if I disagree with the city's policy on immigration... And of course, I have to say the consequence of that might be to put the citizens at risk, you know, in the event of a natural disaster... I don't want to put people's lives at risk, but I do think where the law gives me the power to prevent anybody from interfering with our activities, we will use the law to prevent that interference."
