I am making the assumption that the Syrian borders are a greater threat to our troops than the Mexican borders and I am not giving an ounce of aid and comfort to our enemies.
Yes you are, if you do not support closing our borders and tightening immigration law now. We are at war now because of what happened September 11,2001. That attack occurred because our immigration system is broken. Those terrorists came to this country after minimal/no background checks due to our defective immigration system. Many of them illegally overstayed their visas. Many of them also took advantage of the state of Virginia's then lax driver license policies, which allowed illegals to receive licenses with no real proof of who they were.
Right now in this country we have states like Massachusetts and California that either allow or are working to allow illegal immigrants to receive licenses with less documentation than that required by an American citizen.
We have cities throughout the country recognizing the suspect matricula consular. Cities allowing illegals with no background checks to have licenses and government services with laughable proof of identity such as a power bill with a name and address and an TIN number.
We have hundreds of thousands of people illegally pouring across our borders every year. None of them have had background checks. Are you really going to say they are all honest work seekers? Some are. Others are drug smugglers armed and dangerous, importing their poisons to wreak havoc in our cities. Others are criminals murderers,rapists, robbers, fleeing their home country to avoid being arrested and prosecuted.
And others are from the middle east. Personal journals have been found on our border written in arabic. These journals have been turned over to the FBI. Are they the journals of arabs seeking freedom? Or of madmen plotting to destroy one of our cities?
The fbi isn't saying. Are you in a position to assure that all these people are just coming for jobs?
Our troops are fighting this war to protect America. Yet here at home, our pandering politicians at all levels of government are not only not doing anything to close the loopholes, in many states they are encouraging illegal immigration by providing services to people who should not be here with minimal proof of identity and no background checks.
