Thread: Case Closed: Illegal Immigration Is a Threat to Homeland Sec

Case Closed: Amnesty Would Pose an Even Greater Threat to Homeland Security

WASHINGTON, May 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The arrest today of six
Islamic radicals in a plot to attack Fort Dix, New Jersey, should put an
immediate halt to plans by the Senate to craft an illegal alien amnesty
bill next week, declared the Federation for American Immigration Reform
(FAIR). The fortuitous arrest of the six terrorists before they carried out
their plot provides strong proof that lax enforcement of our immigration
laws does pose a severe threat to the security of the nation, and that the
government's screening process for granting green cards and other
immigration benefits is perilously flawed.
Three of the men arrested in New Jersey today were illegal aliens,
while two of their comrades were green card holders, meaning that the
government had investigated their backgrounds and failed to identify them
as threats to homeland security. The facts of this case demand that
Congress end all discussion of an amnesty or a "pathway to legalization"
and focus instead on their primary responsibility of protecting the
security of the American people, demanded FAIR.
"Today we found out once again that our failure to control illegal
immigration and our inability to manage the current caseload of people
applying for immigration benefits poses a lethal risk to the nation," said
Dan Stein, president of FAIR. "After years of denying the obvious -- that
terrorists can and will take advantage of the same unenforced immigration
policies that have flooded this country with illegal immigrants -- we now
have irrefutable proof that the terrorists understand where we are
vulnerable. We can be certain that there are many more terrorists who
entered the country illegally or overstayed visas, and we may not be as
lucky next time."
The arrests in New Jersey further provide proof that the sort of
amnesty program being considered by the Senate, with the support of the
Bush Administration, would compound the threat to homeland security. "At
the current caseload, the government has neither the resources nor the
competence to identify terrorists who apply for green cards," charged
Stein. "An amnesty or a 'pathway to legalization' program would add tens of
millions more applicants to the queue. If they can't pick out a terrorist
now, how are they going to protect this nation when a flood of new
applications hit their desks? While the names of the agencies in charge of
protecting our security have changed, the screening process is still being
carried out by the same people who renewed Mohammed Atta's student visa six
months after he crashed an airplane into the World Trade Center.
"Given today's events, the American public has a right to demand, not
ask, that Congress and the Bush Administration drop all talk of amnesty and
guest worker programs and get to work on the single most important
priority: controlling our borders and fixing an immigration system that
allows terrorists and just about anyone else to enter and hide out in this
country," continued Stein. "Luck was on our side this time, but luck is not
a substitute for due diligence and an immigration enforcement policy that
protects the nation and its people."

I MUST AGREE TOTALLY. FORGET REFORM AND ENFORCE OUR LAWS AND ADD A FEW TO MAKE IT SIMPLER FOR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO HELP, STOP ANCHOR BABIES AND ALL BENIFITS, NOT MORE FREE EDUCATION.

While the names of the agencies in charge of protecting our security have changed, the screening process is still being carried out by the same people who renewed Mohammed Atta's student visa six months after he crashed an airplane into the World Trade Center.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. When will Congress get their heads out of their arses and realize amnesty will not pay.

ROCK
you've got that just a bit confused.

Congress knows IT PAYS FOR THEIR PORTFOLIOS!!!

At the expense of our nation and our American brothers & sisters!!!!!

And now they're going to attempt to pull out of their sleeves............
The Hail Mary AMNESTY Bill!!

Secure all borders, bring the guard back home to do it.
Begin immediate ICE raids..
Enough is enough!

Today was a wake up call to the naive.

2ndamendsis--in the long run, it doesn't pay because after all of the wages are reduced to ashes, there will be no more buying power for their profits to soar from and they'll be left with 7,000,000,000 people on this planet that will kill to get to them for creating a global slave class. Just my opinion.

I pray to God that America wakes up before it is to late. I've said it before, there are already terrorist cells in this country who are preparing to detonate one or more crude nuclear devices. The think tanks that ponder these things believe this will occur in one of more of our major ports. When this happens, and it is highly likely that it will, our lives will be forever changed in ways we can't even imagine.

This is what makes me nuts.
We know what is going to happen if things don't change and quickly but we are at the mercy of people who can not or will not make the necessary corrections and they are the ones holding the reins of power.
All our screaming.....My GOD a child can determine from one night of watching the news that the border should be secured...all of them and yet they are wide open. How do I accept this? I can't. Because it is so unreasonable.

What is particularly strange about this scenerio is, following some great calamitous event, all of our so-called "leaders" will suddenly become irreverent. We will form new ruling parties and elect new leaders. It sounds like something out of science fiction doesn't it?

Maybe we are having a hard time understanding because we are using reason.
