Cafferty: Should Gonzales go?
WATCH "The Cafferty File": Attack Iran?.

In light of recent revelations, will Alberto Gonzales be able to hold onto his job as Attorney General?
If President Bush continues to tell us how much he supports Alberto Gonzales, then Alberto had best start packing his bags. -Albert, Las Cruces, New Mexico

Congress should stand up to its constitutional obligations to 'check and balance' the executive branch and impeach Gonzales, Cheney, and Bush. -Thomas, Silverdale, Washington

It is obvious from the testimony regarding what happened with the hospitalized Ashcroft that Gonzales never got a grip on that job in the first place. He thought he was appointed to aid and abet the White House campaign of subverting constitutional guarantees. Not since Nixon have we seen so many flunkies falling all over themselves to sell out America. -Tom, Wilton, Maine

He will hold on to his job as long as he keeps his mouth shut and continues not to remember anything. But he better be real careful. -Laura, Niles, Michigan

Is there any reason to believe that this latest immigration law will be any more effective than the laws that have been ignored by the government for years?
There should be benchmarks for our government to meet before any provisions in the immigration bill kick in! -Tom, Jefferson City, Missouri

Jack, I simply do not understand why this Congress seems to ignore the wishes of the American people. NO ONE I know or have spoken to is in favor of allowing the invasion of illegal aliens.
-Susan, Atlantic Beach, Florida

Jack, The laws you say are on the books are meaningless because they are unenforceable. To solve the problem we need to bring the illegals out of the shadows, secure the borders, penalize employers who cheat and greatly expand legal immigration at the top and bottom of the employment scale. This compromise does at least some of that. -Alan, Newark, Delaware

Once again the Senate has betrayed the interest and the will of the loyal, patriotic, law-abiding citizens of the U.S by passing a "bi-partisan" law giving amnesty to millions of aliens who are living here illegally. The lawmakers are bought and paid for by special interests, and they do not care what they are doing to the electorate. It will be interesting to see what the next election does to alter the numbers of the partisans in the Senate. I know whom I will not be supporting.
-Tom, Temple, Texas

Do Americans get enough vacation time?
I want the Iraqi parliament vacation plan. Two months paid vacation while the country collapses around them. -Don, Palm Springs, California

Jack, if I gave my employees paid vacations or health insurance or paid them anything more than minimum wage, I wouldn't be a multi-millionaire, and that is absolutely un-American!-Ken, Richland, Washington

Coming from Canada, I have to say the U.S. does not get enough vacation time! It's almost frowned upon to take time off and it certainly does not feel as though it is encouraged.-Rebecca, Phoenix, Arizona

As a Canadian citizen and U.S. resident, I can't understand why this country has so many federal holidays that are holidays only for the government. If government employees can have the day off with pay so should we all. -Rob, Oak Park, Michigan
