The 9/11 family members have expressed their overwhelming opposition to the so-called "International Freedom Center." They recognize this monstrosity for what it is: an effort to hijack the memories of our loved ones and exploit them for political purposes of the schemers behind the IFC. President and CEO Richard Tofel has admitted that the IFC will present controversial viewpoints. Yet the IFC, in its latest attempt at damage control asks, via its website, that the families trust the IFC promoters

Given the records of those involved in promoting the scheme, there is absolutely no reason for us to place any trust in them.

Family members recognize, along with the 9/11 Commissioners a very obvious fact: if the terrorists had not been able to enter the US, they could not have hijacked four aircraft and murdered our loved ones.

Many 9/11 family members have turned their understanding of this simple concept by joining 9/11 Families for a Secure America to force the President and Congress to prevent further terrorism by securing our borders.

Yet, the main promoters of the IFC are also major promoters of open borders. Tom Bernstein, Chairman of the IFC Board is founder of "Human Rights First" an outfit that consistently presses for virtually unhindered, unscreened access to the USA by people from other countries.

George Soros, the convicted insider trader who has used a considerable portion of his extremely large fortune to oppose enforcement of US immigration law is among those funding Human Rights First.

The head of the ACLU is also an adviser to the IFC and of course, ACLU is among the most important and dangerous members of the open borders combine, using its considerable resources in support of causes that will encourage illegal aliens to enter the US and facilitate their remaining here: granting them drivers' licenses to illegal aliens, granting instate tuition to illegals, welfare and free health care etc. The ACLU has even opposed rules to speed the deportation of illegals convicted of violent felonies.

Thus, it’s clear that the people who created the open borders nightmare that allowed the 9/11 terrorists to enter the US are the very same ones who are behind the IFC.

Soros, Bernstein, Tofel, et al., responsible in part for the attacks of 9/11 are unfit to exploit the memories of our loved ones for political purposes.
