This country has a problem with Islamic
terrorism. In addressing this threat, the federal government has unfortunately
overreacted at the airports while
letting the Canadian and Mexican borders go unattended.
Border checks limited to
speed traffic. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in Texas have been ordered to
abbreviate national security checks at one of the nation"s busiest ports of entry to speed up travel between
the United States and Mexico, according to official documents and multiple interviews with agents.
7,000 Iraqi refugees allowed to enter
the US. The United States agreed yesterday [2/14/2007] to allow up to 7,000 Iraqi refugees to enter the
country, greatly expanding the number allowed until now. It also agreed to pay more to help Iraq's
Arab neighbors cope with the human tide fleeing increasing violence and economic hardship in their country.
The decision for this fiscal year came after mounting political and diplomatic pressure on the Bush
administration to do more to remedy the consequences of a war it largely started. Only 202 Iraqis
were allowed in last year.
71% Say Immigration
is a Threat to the U.S. A national poll commissioned by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and
conducted by Susquehanna Polling and Research shows that five years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks,
Americans are more aware of people from foreign countries and believe illegal immigrants pose a threat
to the United States, particularly as terrorists.
Left-Wing
Extremists Want to 'Reconquista' Southwest . [Olin] Tezcatlitoca is the leader of a tiny group
called the "Mexica Movement," which advocates on behalf of "indigenous Americans," or those people without
European ancestry. "Kind of like the Jews wanted to take their land back after 2,000 years," said
Tezcatlitoca. "We're saying we lost this land 150 years ago in a clearly unjust war, in a clearly
racist war against our people."
U.S.
admits nearly 10,000 from "terrorism" states. Nearly 10,000 people from countries designated as
sponsors of terrorism have entered the United States under an immigration diversity program with relatively
few restrictions, a report released on Friday [9/21/2007] said. The report quoted a U.S. security officer
in Turkey as saying it would be possible for Iranian intelligence officers to pose as applicants and not be
detected if their identities were not already known to U.S. intelligence.
"American" Jihad, Courtesy of
the Open Borders Lobby. Most of the mainstream media have grudgingly reported that three of the
six Muslim extremists arrested Tuesday [5/8/2007] for plotting to attack Fort Dix are illegal aliens.
Agents are now investigating whether they were smuggled across the border — and whether the others lied on
their immigration papers to stay in the country. However, not one major outlet has mentioned the fact
that the ACLU, People for the American Way, and other pillars of the Open Borders Lobby opened a major
battlefront in the jihadists' backyard in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, to prevent city officials from
evicting illegals like them.
Brothers Charged in Terror Plot Lived Illegally
in U.S. for 23 Years. Three brothers charged in the alleged Fort Dix terror plot have been living
illegally in the U.S. for more than 23 years and were accepted as Americans by neighbors and friends who
had no idea they would scheme to attack military bases and slaughter GIs.
The Real
Illegal Alien Threat: As details emerge from the plot to kill American soldiers at Fort Dix, New
Jersey, one thing is clear. The United States may have more of a homegrown terrorist problem than some
people imagine.
Political Correctness Will End Up Killing Us.
It boggles the mind that a nearly 1,000-page behemoth immigration proposal — the first major immigration
reform legislation in a generation, and the first since the September 11th attack — has virtually nothing
to say about addressing possible terrorist threats. But the inadequacy of proposed immigration reforms is
only part of the crisis. As a new Pew Research Center poll makes clear, America faces a potentially greater
problem: American Muslims whose sympathies lie not with America but with its enemies.
Jihadists
Exploit Our Hospitality and Open Borders … Again. Well, here is the thanks we get. Eight
years ago, America opened its arms to tens of thousands of ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo. The first
planeload landed at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Military leaders worked day and night to turn the base into a
child-friendly village. They coordinated medical and security checkups, mental health and trauma
counseling and ethnic food preparations.
U.S. agencies missing links between illegal immigration and
terrorism. Alfonso Salinas was not who he seemed, according to U.S. Department of Justice and
Department of Homeland Security documents. He lied to the agents about who he was, where he came from
and what he was doing. It would take nearly a week of interviews with federal agents before Alfonso
Salinas would give his real name: Ayman Sulmane Kamal, a Muslim born in Egypt — a country designated as
"special-interest" by the United States for sponsoring terrorism. Kamal's case is not an isolated one.
Texas
Sheriffs Say Terrorists Entering US from Mexico. The chief law enforcement officers of several
Texas counties along the southern U.S. border warn that Arabic-speaking individuals are learning Spanish and
integrating into Mexican culture before paying smugglers to sneak them into the United States. The
Texas Sheriffs' Border Coalition believes those individuals are likely terrorists and that drug cartels
and some members of the Mexican military are helping them get across the border.
Iraqis are
entering U.S. through Mexico. U.S. and Mexican immigration agencies are investigating the arrival
of small groups of Iraqis at the border in the past week and their possible connection to smuggling
organizations. Baja California agents and Mexican federal immigration officers found a group of four
Friday night [12/22/2006] at a Tijuana hotel. In addition, two groups of about two or three Iraqis
turned themselves in earlier this week to U.S. inspectors at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of
entry, asking for political asylum.
Undercover Investigators Get Into U.S. With
Fake IDs. Undercover investigators entered the United States using fake documents repeatedly
this year — including some cases in which Homeland Security Department agents didn't ask for
identification. At nine border crossings on the Mexico and Canadian borders, agents "never questioned
the authenticity of the counterfeit documents," according to Government Accountability Office testimony to
be released Wednesday [8/2/2006].
Illegals
From Terror-Sponsoring Nations are At Large in the US. Almost half of the illegal aliens arriving in
the U.S. from terrorist-sponsoring or "special interest" nations in the past few years have been released
into the American population following their apprehension. This key finding is published in an
internal audit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) obtained by Cybercast News Service.
Terrorist Loophole: Senate Bill Disarms
Law Enforcement. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S.2611) before the U.S. Senate
is touted by proponents as a "compromise," combining amnesty for current illegal immigrants with stepped-up
enforcement provisions. Nothing could be further from the truth. A previously unnoticed provision in
this complicated legislation would disarm America's state and local police in the war against terrorism.
Making it easier
for Al Qaeda. Rep. Ed Royce cited specific security defects in the bill, including Section 117,
which requires every level of government in the United States to consult with every level of government in
Mexico before any fencing or other structures can be built on the U.S. side of the border.
Immigration's Fifteen
Minutes: Why Now? There are far better routes than the Mexican
border for terrorists to enter the US. The Canadian border — much safer than
the brutal southern desert — has about one-tenth the security of the Mexican border,
even though at least two al Qaeda terrorists (Mohammed Atta and Ahmed Ressam) have
used it to enter the United States in preparation for actual attacks.
Immigration Removal Procedures
Implemented in the Aftermath of the September 11th Attacks. The Federal government has very
wide Constitutional authority to deal with matters of immigration. And it also has a Constitutional
obligation to insure national security.
9/11, the
Pentagon, and our borders: I know the White House didn't intend it, but the Pentagon 9/11
video release underscores why President Bush's push for a massive "guest worker"/enforcement-later approach
to border security is such a betrayal of the memory of those who died in the attacks.
Nice catch for
Homeland Security. The IFCO bust was the biggest ever for ICE. But if Chertoff follows through,
IFCO may soon seem like just a nice-sized fish in a sea teeming with monstrous scofflaws. The Social
Security Administration already knows where the immigration-law-breaking Leviathans lurk. We will soon
learn if Congress and the administration really want to catch them.
Dual citizenship is a national security issue.
When a U.S. Citizen Is Not an
American. For terrorists and their sympathizers, U.S. citizenship is a powerful tool. It
gives them unabridged rights of access to the country, not to mention the right to work in sensitive
installations such as nuclear plants, defense facilities, etc. To those who are intent on destroying
America from within, obtaining U.S. citizenship is a critical step. To them, it is a clever subterfuge
that wards off suspicion.
Red Alert: Amnesty
for Tens of Millions of Invaders on the Horizon. While the invasion of our nation through the
southern border continues unabated, our fearless leaders are once again busy cooking up cures that are worse
than the disease. The latest scheme is a form of de facto amnesty euphemistically called the
"Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act." And if it passes, it could be America's final act.
The illegal
alien "gold card": Nearly five years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, our borders
remain porous. The deportation system remains broken. The government's tracking systems for
criminal illegal aliens and visa overstayers remain incomplete. So, what's Washington's latest
homeland security solution? "Gold Cards" for illegal aliens.
Homeland
Security: Red Alert. As illegal immigration continues unabated, the White House
has seen fit to honor the chief of the Border Patrol, David Aguilar, with a presidential "Meritorious
Executive" award, which comes with a cash bonus, for his outstanding performance. I kid
you not.
Open
borders, closed minds. Even in a world gone mad we should not expect to see a
headline that Mexico is invading (or even incursioning into) the United States.
Is A War
Going On In Texas? If you don't have access to Texas newspapers or the internet, you may
not have heard the sensational news about the enormous cache of weapons just seized in Laredo,
Texas. … If bomb-making factories and firearms assembly plants are ordinary day-to-day business
in the drug war along our southern border, the American people need to know more about it.
Border crossings: News
this week of the arrest of four Iraqis in Mexico on their way to the U.S. border is cause for
concern. The good news is that the Iraqis themselves appear to be harmless. Mexican
authorities have found no connection to terrorism and there are reports that they could in fact
be part of Iraq's Christian minority. But their attempt to illegally gain entry into the
United States by way of Mexico undermines the false hope that terrorists wouldn't try to do
the same.
By any means
necessary. A few weeks back, "uniformed drug traffickers" confronted Texas
sheriff's deputies on the U.S.-Mexico border. Texas authorities had tried to stop
three SUVs near El Paso, but the SUVs immediately fled south. The authorities gave
chase, where what appeared to be the Mexican army was waiting for them. They were
armed, wore uniforms and their Humvee was allegedly topped with a .50 caliber machine gun.
Violence
jumps on US-Mexican border. Attacks on American border patrol agents along the U.S. border with
Mexico have jumped more than 100 percent in the last year, Homeland Security officials said on
Thursday [2/9/2006].
Secret Memo: Smugglers
Plan To Kill U.S. Border Agents. Federal officials have warned U.S. Border Patrol agents that
they could be the targets of assassins hired by immigrant smugglers, according to a confidential memo.
Able Danger and the
jiggered timeline. Of course, the very idea of considering INS entry records dispositive
is itself a howler to anyone who pays attention. Aside from the sloppiness of the controls at
our borders and the inadequacy of the INS' record keeping, we know that [Mohamed] Atta's April 2001 entry upon
which the Commission apparently relies, is itself mysterious. He is recorded as having entered
twice on the same day at the same entry point under two different visa numbers.
Illegal
Aliens Captured Working at Hard-Target Facilities. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agents have arrested 60 illegal aliens who performed contract work
at 12 critical infrastructure sites, including seven petrochemical refineries,
three power plants, a national air cargo facility, and a pipeline facility located
in six different states. … There is no evidence that any have terrorist ties
or were engaged in a terrorist plot.
Oak
Ridge: our de facto border. Because the administration has not
dedicated the resources needed — or shown the political will — to
stop illegal aliens at the border, or to stop employers from hiring them inside the
United States, America's de facto border now runs through Oak Ridge, Tenn. We
have found a place where the immigration laws will actually be enforced: It is
inside the gates of a nuclear weapons plant.
Foreign
Workers With Fake Documents Entered Tennessee Nuke Plant. Sixteen foreign-born
construction workers with phony immigration documents were able to enter a nuclear weapons
plant in eastern Tennessee because of lax security controls.
A glowing illegal
alien alert. It has now been almost four years since the September 11, 2001,
terrorist attacks. But because the Bush administration has not made a priority of
securing our border and enforcing the immigration laws within the United States itself, it
has also failed in at least one instance to secure a weapons-of-mass-destruction facility
on our own soil.
Immigration
Policy: A national security imperative. Immigration, now more than ever before,
has become a national-security issue. And as the leader of the free world and its Western
values, the United States stands in strategic and ideological opposition to the goals of these
Jihadi terrorists. We are thus their prime target, and a soft one at that, as demonstrated
on September 11, 2001. And yet our borders remain wide open to those who
would destroy us.
Homeland insecurity: The
year in review. Border Patrol officers and local investigative journalists in the Southwest
reported on increasing numbers of Middle Eastern males entering illegally from Mexico. Muslim prayer
books and Arabic diaries were discovered on "Terrorist Alley" in southern Arizona. Suspected
al Qaeda operative Adnan Shukrijumah, a
fugitive Saudi pilot who reportedly met with MS-13 earlier this year, is believed to be in Mexico.
Illegal aliens, with us
forever. All 19 hijackers on 9/11 entered the United States legally on government-issued visas,
several of whom illegally overstayed their allotted time. Now we hear there is another way aliens are
able to remain in our country. They sneak over our borders illegally, or illegally overstay their visas,
and then become legal by exploiting a now-expired loophole known as 245(i), the section in a 1994 federal law
that allows an illegal alien to apply for a green card, stay permanently in the United States, and subsequently
apply for citizenship.
Why
Revoke Tariq Ramadan's U.S. Visa? It's not every day that the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revokes a visa issued to a Swiss-national
scholar scheduled to teach at one of America's premier universities. But this
has just happened, and it's a good thing too. Americans should thank DHS for
keeping Tariq Ramadan out of the United States.
The
academic/media complex. For some reason, Ramadan's inability to enter the
country for an extended stay in an influential post seems to raise the hackles of weighty
editorial pages from around the country. Why would this particular academic get such
special treatment? It is just another manifestation of class solidarity within
the liberal academic/media complex.
Hate
Tour. How the State Department invites and pays for extremists to
visit the US. Inviting members of extremist organizations or individuals that
refuse a rational, civilized debate is, frankly, a waste of money. If, moreover,
the Americans chosen to meet with the program's foreign participants happen
to be hard-line critics of the US, we have a recipe for disaster.
"Harmonizing"
Our Decline: Our standard of living is being deliberately undermined to merge
our nation into a centrally directed global economy.
Revolution
in America: "I am not an American. There is nothing about me that is
American. I don't want to be an American, and I have just as much right to be here as
any of you." Thus spoke one individual identified as a "Latino activist" during a session
of the "National Conversation on American Pluralism and Identity," a $4 million project
funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Aliens
hiding in plain sight. Nearly half of the 48 al Qaeda terrorists tied
to violent acts in the United States between 1993 and 2001 committed significant
immigration-law violations prior to those events but were never detained or deported,
federal records show.
America's
insane asylum for terrorists: Do you know how the alleged "shopping-mall"
bomber entered our country? He didn't cross the border illegally. He didn't
sneak in on a ship. He came through the front door at America's invitation.
Just what we need...
US
Offers Citizenship To 7000 Ahiska Muslims. The United States has agreed
to grant citizenship to 7,000 Ahiska Muslims who will be settled in Pennsylvania,
according to a Russian newspaper, Novie Izvestia. It added that the
Muslims would be housed near the grand mosque in Philadelphia.
Can Jihads be Assimilated? Nothing
has made Europeans wake up to what they have allowed mass immigration to do to them than the jihad many Muslims
are licking their whiskers to wage against the new countries to which they have invited themselves.
Immigrants pour into US, unabated by war on
terror: The State Department saw only a 4 percent dip in immigrant visas. The US
still draws many from the Mideast.
Thanksgiving for immigrants: Is it possible to take wise precautions against both terrorism
and future disunity while honoring the pro-immigration flavor of American and biblical history?
Foreign Student Tracking
Fiasco: The INS can tell us that there are some 1 million foreigners now in the United
States with student visas. But it can't say how many of them actually are attending the schools they
applied to, where they are if they transferred or dropped out, or whether the student data that schools give
them are truthful or fraudulent.
State Department's Visa Boss
Quits: The chief of the State Department's consular affairs division announced her resignation
Wednesday amid mounting criticism over how the department has issued visas to Arabs in the wake of
September 11 terrorist attacks.
Feds Lose 2,000 Aliens Sought for
Questioning About 9/11: Thanks to more bungling from the INS, the federal government could not
find nearly half the 4,112 registered immigrants sought for questioning about the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks, according to a report issued today. [11/21/2002]
Who let Lee Malvo
loose? The mainstream media informed us this week that Lee Malvo, the reportedly "17-year-old"
youth charged as a material witness in the sniper investigation along with John Mohammed, is a "Jamaican
national." As of this writing (Oct. 24), the Immigration and Naturalization Service refused to
comment publicly on the exact nature of Malvo's immigration status.
Complex INS laws spared
Malvo: When INS officials released illegal alien Lee Boyd Malvo, aka the "sniper," they
were just going by the book.
What to do about
Malvogate: There is a growing clamor for new congressional inquiries into how the Immigration and
Naturalization Service recklessly releases illegal aliens like sniper suspect Lee Malvo — and then watches
them disappear to commit brutal crimes against American citizens. Please, no more hearings. What we
need now is action from the White House, not another redundant confab on Capitol Hill.
Three out of four in the
U.S. want less Arab immigration: More than three-fourths of Americans want U.S. immigration laws
tightened to allow fewer immigrants from Arab or Muslim nations into the country. Instead, Washington
pays to move Muslims to the United States.
INS intensifies screening of
Arab-Canadians: The Justice Department, in a reasoned but controversial move, has given
immigration officers authority to fingerprint, photograph and monitor visiting Canadians born in high-risk
Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, according to sensitive internal documents obtained
by WorldNetDaily.
Immigration is a Terrorist Weapon:
Unable to shut up about the glories of uncontrolled mass immigration, the Open Borders lobby ever since
September 11 has periodically tried to tell us that the 19 foreign terrorists who entered the United
States legally weren't really immigrants. Therefore, you see, mass immigration is OK. Like
everything else the Open Borders crackpots claim, this is wrong.
End sanctuary for illegal
immigrants: What does fighting terrorism have to do with stemming massive illegal
immigration? Much more than government officials have been willing to let on over the
past year.
Another immigration
loophole: Despite all we know about the people who are plotting to kill Americans, the United
States has issued 50,000 visas since 9/11 to non-Israeli visitors from the Middle East. Yet, the
plan to consolidate border-security functions in the new Homeland Security Cabinet office doesn't include the
issuing of visas by the State Department, which is the chief venue of potential terrorists.
Deadly Diversity, Dumb
Program: In the drawer of dumb, post-September 11 immigration ideas, the State Department's
Diversity Visa Lottery program sits near the top of the heap. How many lives have been sacrificed at the
altar of diversity through this immigration set-aside program?
Who is Janis Sposato?
Here's a closer look at how bogus the immigration reform charade really is.
Banking on American
Stupidity: Here we are, at war with deadly foreign terrorists who exploited our lax immigration
policies, and what are these U.S. financial institutions doing? Making it easier for illegal immigrants
to do business inside our borders.
Damaged by diversity:
Our national borders are the front lines of America's war against terrorism. It should come as no surprise
to anyone that our borders are being overrun. They are open doors to the easy
entry – legal and illegal – of those who would do us harm.
"Arab terrorists" crossing the
border: Middle Eastern illegals find easy entrance into U.S. from Mexico.
Student Visa System
"Fraudulent": At least 16 of the 19 terrorists who hijacked the four commercial airplanes used
to destroy the World Trade Center and damage the Pentagon entered the U.S. with student and tourist visas that
expired before Sept. 11. This failure to enforce immigration policy has prompted calls to revise the
system that permitted the terrorists to remain in the United States while they plotted their actions.
Restrict immigration, not
civil liberties: It is folly to be allied with Israel against its Muslim enemies and
simultaneously to keep one's borders open to Muslim immigrants.
U.S. Wide Open to Terrorists,
Experts Warn: The United States' wide-open borders and chaotic immigration control system
permitted the easy access of the terrorists who carried out the New York City attacks, and that openness
is hampering the FBI's investigation, according to immigration experts. The virtual breakdown of U.S.
immigration controls, these experts say, will make it impossible for the Bush administration to effect
the "homeland defense" that it is planning.
Immigration Reform Prophets vs. The Treason
Lobby: For years prior to the recent atrocities, critics of mass immigration and advocates of
immigration restriction have argued that uncontrolled immigration would lead to precisely what it led to.
The Enemy Is Here—Not Just In Afghanistan.
By an overwhelming majority of 77 percent, the American public believes "the government is not doing
enough to control the border and screen people allowed into the country," according to a Zogby poll just
released last week.
Future widows of America:
write your congressman: Congress has authority to pass a law tomorrow requiring aliens from
suspect countries to leave. As far as the Constitution is concerned, aliens, which is to say
non-citizens, are here at this country's pleasure. They have no constitutional right to be here.
Many Mexicans would prefer to forcibly reclaim the southwestern U.S.
Mexicans: Southwest
U.S. is ours. A healthy majority of Mexicans claim that their country rightfully owns
much of the southwestern United States, while most Americans believe Washington should adopt stricter
immigration standards and deploy U.S. troops along the border, a new poll says.
Same story:
Most
Mexicans Believe Chunk of US Belongs To Them: A majority of Mexicans, according to a new
Zogby International poll, believe the southwestern part of the United States rightfully belongs to Mexico and
that Mexicans should have the right to enter the United States without first obtaining U.S. government
permission.
Aztlan and Amalgamation.
While American troops engage al-Qaeda terrorist cells in far-flung battlefields across Asia and our military
leadership prepares for a Gulf War encore against Iraq, our "friend" and "neighbor" to the South is relentlessly
invading our homeland. The Mexican government and radical "Chicano" groups in this country are pursuing
the dream of La Reconquista – the "re-conquest" of the southwestern United States.
Mexican aliens seek to
retake 'stolen' land. La reconquista, a radical movement calling for Mexico to "reconquer"
America's Southwest, has stepped out of the shadows at recent immigration-reform protests nationwide as
marchers held signs saying, "Uncle Sam Stole Our Land!" and waved Mexico's flag.
Southwest shall secede from U.S., professor
predicts: Charles Truxillo, a professor of Chicano studies at the University of New Mexico,
suggests "Republica del Norte" would be a good name for a new, sovereign Hispanic nation he foresees straddling
the current border between the United States and Mexico. The Republic of the North — he
predicts its creation as "an inevitability" — would include all of the present U.S. states of
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, plus southern Colorado."
Mexico reconquering U.S.
territory? Writer says emigration is imposing Hispanic culture on North America.
Do We Want Mexifornia?
Californians cannot even obtain accurate numbers of how many of the state's more than 10 million Hispanic
residents have arrived here from Mexico unlawfully in the last two decades. No one believes the
government's old insistence on a mere 6 million illegal residents nationwide; the real figure
may be twice that.
