Canada's Conduct
Could Usama bin Laden himself slip across the U.S.-Canadian border? FNC investigates.
Plus, on the way to Detroit it's more pleasant to stay in Day's Inn in Toronto than some pit South of the Border. Closer too.
A Letter to FOX Fans from Kris Eggle's Mom:
We are so very thankful that the story of Kris' murder is highlighting the horrid conditions that exist with the security of our country — especially at our borders. Eighteen months ago, our lives were filled with a sense of happiness and peace that life was good and that our two children were nicely settled into their "dream jobs." How could we have been so wrong? The knock on the door on August 9, 2002 from an ashened-faced young man changed our lives and world forever. We thought, 'How could it be? Not Kris — we just talked to him the night before. He's too alive to be dead — someone must be wrong. It must be a mistake.' BUT IT WAS REAL, and now each day is another day in our lives without Kris.
"We will continue to pursue this mission in Kris' memory because he would want us to do something to help others."
We made a family decision while visiting Kris' murder scene that we were not going to let evil win. Since then, we have made an organized attempt to help alert the public to our unguarded and porous borders. We have written letters, sent faxes, emailed and called our Representatives and Senators and key members of certain committees. We have traveled to D.C. to visit members of Congress, leaders of the Department of Interior, and some ranking officials in the National Park Service to address concerns of lack of funding for law enforcement, equipment, and for the vehicle barrier along the border of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. We have been interviewed in local and national newspapers and magazines, on radio stations, and some television programs. We have also spoken to groups about these major concerns and have asked others to help in getting this information moved forward.
Our son Kris is dead. He was ambushed and murdered by an illegal Mexican drug trafficker who easily crossed into the United States from Mexico because there was nothing to hold him back. Our government leaders have failed miserably in protecting our own homeland, and it is time they are held accountable. This is neither a Democrat nor a Republican issue. It is an issue of what is fair, just and right for the citizens of the United States of America. These men and women took an oath of office "to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all foreign and domestic enemies…So help me God." Our Kris took that same oath of office and died defending his precious country. He followed his pledge to his dying breath. Would our leaders do the same?
We will continue to pursue this mission in Kris' memory because he would want us to do something to help others. It is too late to bring him back, but maybe it won't be too late to help save another one of his friends or coworkers — who still work in these very dangerous border areas — from the same kind of fate. We hope he'd be proud of what his many friends across this nation, and family members are attempting to do.

A Son Lost
Peter's son died on 911
"The people who were here on 9/11 and committed that act were all allowed into the country by our State Department."
Peter Gadiel: 9/11 Families for a Secure America
The members of 9/11 Families for a Secure America know that the forces lobbying for open borders make enormous profits by replacing Americans with cheap labor brought into the U.S. legally and illegally.
However, numerous polls show that over 80% of Americans have had enough of uncontrolled immigration and the threat to our security, economy and neighborhoods that it represents.
This 80% can impose its will on the politicians in Washington, and the state capitols whom have ignored us, but only if we speak up.
What can you do?
1. Go to our website www.911fsa.org and learn more about the issues
2. Join us (membership is free) and then join the Federation for American Immigration Reform at FAIR
3. Get specific information about your U.S. Senators and Representatives at the website of Numbers USA www.numbersusa.org (Click the link on the right hand side “immigration report cards.”)
4. Phone, fax and email your elected officials and tell them you’ve had enough, that you want the law enforced.
5. Volunteer to help us. HERE
A Letter to FOX Fans from Rep. Tom Tancredo:We have American combat troops in far off lands because, as the President has said, we are fighting terrorists there so that we do not have to fight them here. I strongly support him in this effort.
The problem is that hundreds of terrorists are already here and thousands more are seeking a way to get here. They enter with fraudulent papers and with approved visas. They can also enter illegally through our Swiss cheese borders. Hundreds of miles of our border have nothing but a cattle fence.
Our 10,000 Border Patrol agents are heroes in my book: They are doing the best they can but are woefully undermanned. We need to use the U.S. Military to augment our Border Patrol until their numbers can be doubled to 20,000.
"We are not talking about a new bridge in someone's district or a bigger subsidy for some favored voting bloc. We are talking about the survival of the Republic."
I have attended the funeral of a 26-year-old U.S. Park Service Ranger, Kris Eggle, who was slain 100 yards inside the Arizona - Mexico border by Mexican criminals who crossed the border in a vehicle without difficulty.
I have met the widow of a slain Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputy, David March, who was slain by a Mexican criminal who had already been deported twice but came back easily because of our porous borders.
I continue to ask why the leaders of cities like Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago and Phoenix prohibit cooperation with Immigration enforcement agencies when over 106,000 illegal alien felons remain at large in our country.
It is outrageous that our borders remain porous in this perilous time. Our Congress and our President must stop paying only lip service to strengthening the Border Patrol.
It is the singular responsibility of the federal government to do everything necessary to protect the citizenry of this nation. We are not doing that.
If any political figure says that securing the border cannot or should not be our first priority, they are going AWOL in the war on terror. Whether they are pandering for votes from the immigrant community or simply fear the discomfort of taking politically incorrect positions, they do not belong in positions of authority.
Besides the national security aspects of this situation, millions of Americans are losing jobs and suffering lower wages because of this massive flood of cheap labor coming across our borders.
People often ask me, "What can I do to turn the tide and persuade lawmakers to fulfill their Constitutional duties?" There are two things you can do.
First, you should write or call President Bush and tell him to make border security and immigration law enforcement his top priority.
Second, you can help me support and elect public officials who will uphold the Constitution and secure our borders. You can do this by going to my web site at Together we can make a difference.
I am willing to take the heat for leading this effort because the stakes are so high. We are not talking about a new bridge in someone's district or a bigger subsidy for some favored voting bloc. We are talking about the survival of the Republic.
Check out what FOX Fans are saying:
"I just returned from Israel. It was safer walking the streets there than it is here in the US. A large part of this is due to the intense security screening we had both entering and leaving Israel. Yes, it’s an inconvenience, however time is of no concern to you if you are dead. Having personally experienced the lack of security at our Canadian border I can assure you that it is not a case of if but when we will have another 9/11 incident." — Joel (Denver, CO)
Not much more can be said. The part about Chris Eggles murder was heartbreaking. His family should be proud.
The next group of Muslim mega-terrorists will enter the USA the same way the last batch of 19 did, namely with genuine, legal U.S. visas.
Nothing has changed since 9-11-01 that would prevent them from doing so. Visa adjudication has not gotten tougher, U.S. green cards are still being sprinkled over the middle and near east to the tune of 100,000 new Muslim immigrants yearly, and any of the millions of Mohammedans with a EU or Canadian passport can just waltz in without even needing the proforma Consulate or Embassy appearance.
Fingerprinting? A great anti-document-fraud tool, and great too, for catching Mexicans with 6-year-old DUI warrants, but not something that's going to keep the next Muhammad Atta out of our homeland.
Thank you so very much again . . . Penny
