| As America faces war and the threat of terrorist attacks on the U. S. homeland, the situation with respect to the nation’s borders is as follows: Our borders are completely unguarded along hundreds of miles Illegal aliens continue to cross the Southern border in massive numbers Terrorists can enter the United States at will, in large numbers Drug smuggling continues across the U.S. Mexican border
Railway tank cars enter the United States at the rate of thousands per day. The railway cars are not inspected or searched. Nuclear plants, chemical plants, dams, power plants and other critical points of America’s infrstructure are undefended against terrorist attacks.
Neither the White House nor
a majority of Congress advocates supplementing the Border Patrol with elements of the U.S. military. Neither party has demanded strengthening interior enforcement of immigration laws. The President has the authority to completely transform the administration of U.S. immigration law currently performed in a most studiedly derelict and incompetent fashion. The Federal bureaucracy charged with immigration enforcement actually facilitates mass immigration through its non enforcement and nulification of U.S. immigration law. Neither party will advocate the deportation of illegal aliens. Merely six months after the greatest loss of civilian life on American soil in a single day, perpetrated by foreign nationals, the Congress at the behest of President Bush nearly authorized an amnesty for foreign nationals illegally in the United States. Lack of enforcement of immigration laws allowed the September 11th terrorists to enter the U.S., overstay their visas and murder 3,000 American civillians.
America’s political leaders refuse to adequately increase border security or enforce immigration laws within the country’s interior. Various excuses are given including: The cost is too great, It can’t be done, “we live in an open society” (National Security advisor Condaleeza Rice), “cultural reasons” (Department of Homeland Security Tom Ridge). Yet the United States
can expend over $200 Billion on war in Afghanistan and Iraq. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan is being fought in part so that Americas borders can remain open and undefended so that over 10,000 foreign nationals can enter the U.S. each day. After all we have an “Open Society” which requires Open Borders. America can’t change so we must change the world. |
