Maybe fewer pardons for convicted immigration law-breakers would help send a message that we’re serious about homeland security. But, hey, that’s just me.

To terrorists? Doubtful that it’ll have a real effect. They could just use another means of getting into the country if they’re on a watchlist. And remember: all the 9/11 hijackers entered the country legally. Terrorists are expendable, as I think the entire idea of a suicide bombing should underline. It’s not a big deal if one of their guys get caught. There’s no way we’re going to catch them all. The strategy of immigration control as some magic bullet against terrorism is destined to fail.

That actully in a terroist campaing would be more effective, as it sows fear doubt and worry nation wide. One large attack tends to just piss people off (9/11, 12/7)and drains resources with little gain, might be something to boast about and get CNN’s Attention, but in the end it gets an ass kicking. Luckly it seems no one in the terrorist networks thinks like I do.

As to all the claims of needing to do something with mexico, I came across a little Jem that in Canada many of the airport jobs are in gang hands, including Security, which has lead to a goverment shake up.

Word of the wise to the Weary.

A wall is only as strong as its weakest Brick.

Nothing will work on the border EXCEPT the military, armed and on alert. Let them patrol OUR border like they are in Iraq and Afghanistan, and nothing will get through that isn’t supposed to: Land, sea or air!

Something bad could have easily already come across north or south I just hope we get ahead of it before any more Americans are harmed.

Where is that “report”? I want to read it for myself!

Proud xenophobic vigilante conservative bit—choo!

For me this travesty will always be what I remember most about the Bush administration.

Could not agree more, President Andrew Jackson did one hell of a lot of good for this country as it was maturing into a country to be recognized. In my mind I will always remember and never forgive him for “The Trail of Tears”. Another president’s legacy tarnished by a closed mind, stubborn bull headedness.

Terrorists will continue to try to evade U.S. border security measures and place operatives inside the mainland to carry out attacks, the 38-page assessment said. It also said that they may pose as refugees or asylum seekers or try to exploit foreign travel channels such as the visa waiver program, which allows citizens of 34 countries to enter the U.S. without visas.

How many miles of fence could have been built with the money spent on this “assessment” or how about the auto bailout it’s self?
In these trying, dangerous times the country should be locked up tight in regards to type of invasion that can be envisioned…whether that be closing the boarders and enforcing immigration laws already on the books to stopping all the willy nilly visas being allowwed in.
Lack of these items being taken care of lead me to wonder just how secure are we after 911, lots of hype and not much domestic action. The reason I’m holding judgment on Bush securing the country since 911. Out enemy is very patient, do not forget.

As I personally said to a liberal relative of mine about 7 years ago (before the rest of Bush’s stupidity came out in full on a variety of issues). Below is a paraphrasing of what ideas I communicated then:

You should be grateful Bush is going after the Jihadists because if we kept doing the things the way they were done under the Clinton administration, it would only be a matter of time before someone got to nuke NYC or some other US city, and if they did the balance of political power easily tip in favor of red-state policies (especially when the blue state voters aren’t there anymore to vote in the aftermath of a nuclear attack) after all do you really think Jihadists are going to waste their time trying to nuke Fargo, North Dakota for example? They would want a high value target, and these targets are almost always Blue state concerns politically.

Bush in reality is keeping millions of blue voters alive-you should have been thanking him (at the time).

Frankly Bush has p#ssed away his legacy, and has left us economically vulnerable-a source of sure delight to Jihadists and others.
