Because it certainly isn’t “news” to people with IQs higher than 80.
Islamofascists have exploited our lax immigration laws. Oh, no! Whatever.
The report provides newly compiled data on U.S. terror arrests to illustrate gaps (GAPS?) in the nation’s border security, visa approval and immigration systems. It was written by Janice Kephart, who served as counsel to the 9/11 Commission that investigated missteps leading to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
“The attack of 9/11 was not an isolated instance of al-Qaida infiltration into the United States,” the 46-page report found.
“In fact, dozens of operatives both before and after 9/11 – other than the 9/11 hijackers – have managed to enter and embed themselves in the United States, actively carrying out plans to commit terrorist acts against U.S. interests or support designated foreign terrorist organizations,” the report concluded. “For each to do so, they needed the guise of legal immigration status to support them.”(Emphasis added) (Source)
Here’s one lie in the story: “Tightening U.S. borders has become a top priority for Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who last week called immigration enforcement an issue of utmost importance.”
Bush and his cronies have no intention of “tightening” anything (See A Nation of Outlaws), and if you believe they do, perhaps you’d better have your IQ checked. And I’d like to comment on this statement:
“The department has enacted a slew of programs…to harden immigration laws against terrorists.”
They’ve got it all twisted up. We need to “harden” laws against ALL immigrants, not just terrorists. The Department of Homeland Insecurity, Bush’s big, bloated baby, must put more agents on the border to keep Mexicans and Central Americans out not only for the damage they cause, but to prevent Muslims from jumping the border right along with them.
So what’s the solution, you ask? Well, you know I’m considered an extremist about certain things, and this is one. For the next five years at least, close the borders to immigrants from countries harboring or suspected of harboring Islamofascists. CLOSED, with no exceptions.
Second, scrutinize young men of Middle Eastern descent no matter which country they’re from. I don’t care if they’re from Iceland. Strictly scrutinize them to the point they get bored with the process and change their minds about immigrating.
Third, close and seal the Southern border. Mexicans and Central Americans wanting to enter this great country must get in line and go through the proper channels just like everyone else.
Isn’t it a shame that my suggestions are considered extreme? Evidence of cultural rot.
