CUTLER: Any illegal alien knows that if they're persistent, if they make effort after effort, if they're willing to get arrested several times by the patrol, ultimately they'll get into the country and they'll get whatever it is they want.
We need meaningful interior enforcement. And nobody from either side of the aisle really wants to talk about that.
DOBBS: What's it going to take to be serious about our border security?
CUTLER: I thought after 9/11 that would have been enough. And incredibly, we keep on resisting common sense. You know, if you look at what happened after December 7th, when America was attacked during the Second World War, we won that war in under four years. We had to build atom bombs and new airplanes and all sorts of things. Here we are nearly three years after 9/11 and we still don't even have a secure passport that's linked to biometrics.
I don't know what it's going take to get the politicians to be shaken out of their complacency and truly protect this country. And you know, it's not just terrorists. When I was assigned to DEA intelligence they did an analysis of arrest statistics and found that 60 percent of the people arrested for drug trafficking in New York were foreign born: 6-0 percent; 30 percent nationwide.
And there's a nexus between drug traffickers and terrorism, and yet we still don't have the resolve the do the right thing. And the new agents going through the academy now, what they now call ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aren't even being taught Spanish language. How can you possibly investigate people you can't communicate with?

*** Errrrrr... I don't know if I like that idea. How about doing more practical things like enforcing existing laws before going 'book of revelation' on US citizens?
DOBBS: Taking a look now at some of your thoughts on these issues. Many of you wrote in about non-citizens gaining the right to vote in this country.
Karen Weisner of Santa Rosa, California: Give non-citizens the vote? Well, we're already giving them our jobs, free medical care and other social services. So, why not make it a clean sweep and give it all away!
Justin Lynch, Gold Valley, Minnesota: Now, I've heard it all. Illegal aliens demand the "right" to vote, thereby giving them input into who makes the laws they have no intention of observing!

Those people don't seem too happy about their new "neighbors".
Actually the biometric passport plan has been ongoing for a few years and is close to completion. There's a long exception list of countries that only requires their citizens to show the traditional stamps, non-Islamic countries to be exact.
Too late for you anyway, borg. Everyone knows the Mark of the Beast is your Social Security number.
You're right about the SS card.
We can thank our "leaders" for resisting common sense. It's more important for them to please Fox than it is to protect Americans.
