>>>>"... lawmakers, in a letter to Snow, requested that his committee conduct a full 45-day investigation of the transaction, saying it's essential for national security.

>>>>"Federal law requires the president or his designee investigate the impact on national security of a foreign acquisition if the acquisition 'could result in control of a person engaged in interstate commerce in the United States that could affect the national security of the United States,'” reads the letter signed by Sens. Schumer, Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn., as well as Reps. Chris Shays, R-Conn., Vito Fossella, R-N.Y., and Mark Foley, R-Fla.

That sounds like a reasonable request. It also sounds like something the Feds shouldbe turning down. We don't want Muslims and Arabs who hate the US to be running our docks and ports. Not now, not ever. If this is a normal practice that is going on today, it should stopped immediately.

They aren't now, nor will they in the future. The big hillary/schumer lie being pushed is that DPWorld is "taking over" the ports, when they are not.

And for irony DPWorld will be operating one of many differently owned port container facilites in NJ with a Danish firm.
