Open Borders = Open Sores
Obama’s Open Borders Policy Spread Disease Causes Deaths
If there ever was a more winning issue for the Republicans, this is it. The Dems know that this is a loser issue for them.
Christopher Hatley’s book, written in 2009, is an excellent treatise on the subject. He foresaw the health dangers even then, as well as national security issues, drug cartels, etc.

A Revelation of Vulnerability
By Charles C. Brooks on August 2, 2009
“Provide for the Common Defence,” caught me totally off-guard. What I assumed would be a simple treatise on the deficiencies of U.S. border security, was instead a multi-faceted revelation of errors, threats, misconceptions, vulnerabilities, and predictions of things to come, good or bad, depending upon our future plans and actions. The book presented not only a revelation but a solution as well, and not just any solution, but a well-thought-out, researched, and supported solution that I believe would be well received by a majority of Americans, should it be proposed.
The author, Christopher Hatley, came well-equipped to handle the task of creating this book, as a West Point graduate, a three-decade veteran of the U.S. Army, and a trainer of military decision-making processes. From reading his book, it became apparent that he has a deep-seated knowledge of the content, meanings, and principles within our nation’s Constitution, supporting documents, and legislative system. The book reflects Hatley’s intuitive insight into the problems at hand, along with his investigative analysis and strategies based on military, political, economic, diplomatic, and philosophical observations and findings.
The book touches on many topics related to or affected by border security, revealing shocking facts and figures that will quickly remove any sense of safety and security that you once had, and removing all thoughts that we as a nation are strong and protected on all sides. I was shocked to discover the massive size, sophistication, and corruptive support of the Mexican drug cartels. I was surprised to find that the cartels are using mini-submarines, that are virtually undetectable, to carry 12 to 15 tons of narcotics up to 2000 miles through Caribbean waters into the U.S. I was also surprised to find that the cartels now have advanced regular army military units and advanced hardware, and have attempted to purchase Russian helicopters and Tango-class submarines.
Christopher Hatley travelled to both sides of the border towns along the California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas borders to observe and analyze the security practices being used there. His findings were deeply disturbing to me, making me want to rush through the book to get to his suggested solutions. He writes about human trafficking of Mexican nationals into the U.S. and trafficking of human slaves into both the U.S and into Mexico and beyond for labor and prostitution. He writes about the Mexican border as a gateway for terrorists into the U.S. and methods they use to gain entrance. He writes about infectious diseases entering the U.S. and the threats they impose.
Most importantly, Hatley talks about what is being done and not being done about border security, and talks about why there is a difficulty in reaching a consensus of opinion and a proactive approach to a solution. He offers up a well-thought-out, researched and documented solution that I believe should be on the desk right now of our nation’s political and military leaders. This book is filled with the wisdom that our nation needs to survive, and we owe it to ourselves to make sure that it is read.
The next time Christopher Hatley runs for any office, I will surely vote for him, and would encourage citizens of Texas and of any other state in the U.S., who want to put people with his knowledge and credentials in office, to do the same.
A final word to the wise - read this book and encourage others to do the same. We all owe it to our families and our heirs.

I agree. A good TV ad would have the impact of the Daisy Ad
No, Tillis hasn’t been a RINO. Are you from NC and do you see what the legislature has done here! I din’t vote for him in the primary, but he has not been a RINO in state government.
Here is the link to the aforementioned Tillis story—
Republicans aren’t really campaigning hard on anything substantive, they know its not going to matter...
They are riding high on the wave of the conservative base giving them one more shot at gaining ground, numbers, in D.C., and some of the state houses...
There is going to be no change at all after November as far as approaches to issues, and nothing will get done of any real significance...
It is only delaying the inevitable...
We are going down the path further and farther into a post Constitutional society, one without real respect for the Rule of Law, and any law needed, will only benefit the political power this government has over the population and further isolate the Christian and Tea Party conservative base...
Doesn’t leave us with much left really...
Maybe our principles and means to back that up will suffice, but I do not see a lot of people standing up at that point...Maybe quality (in our numbers) of purpose and Virtue will win the day at that point...

Pres Reporter: w4w’s post about the very conservative legislative agenda that the NC House has driven is correct. Part of the problem is that Greg Brannon, a good man who ran a bad campaign, will not support Tillis - and many of his supporters are following suit, or so it appears. Another problem is that outside groups have poured in zillions of anti Tillis ad cash. A TON.
I supported Brannon, but his non support is infantile and self defeating. Their reticence has caused a lot of people to think Tillis is more of a RINO than he is. Brannon had a lot of Rand Paul Ron Paul type support, as well as some other factions of conservatives, and Rand came to NC for Tillis. Brannon should too.
Having said that, Tillis is more establishment than I would like. He listens to Karl Rove’s advice, and he’s run a horrible general election campaign. And he gave the NC teachers an obscenely big raise, and yet Hagan is hammering him on taking money out of the classroom. Like all GOP E types, they think they can take an issue off the table by going Dem lite on it, and of course, this NEVER works.
