Now we are facing threats we understand but can't control.

Well, all I can tell you is that I and my loved ones haven't been attacked by terrorists. Doesn't that tell you that our president is doing something right?

IMO, 9-11 was a result of 8 years of loafing on National Security issues courtesy of Clinton.

I certainly hope most Americans don't buy into the "sensitive" approach to terrorism that Kerry wants to take.

I take a nip or two every day from my Aunt's secret recipe for snake bite medicine. Have never been snake bit yet. Definitely works (my Aunt's never been bitten either and she's well up into her 80s).

Your post reminded me of something. How far into Clinton's Presidency was the first WTC bombing?

LisaMalia, I think the prez. is doing everything right.

Those same results of 8 years of "loafing" make our immigration policy look like childs play.

I don't think anyone on this board will vote for Kerry anytime soon, BUT I hope like hell we deal with the immigration issues.

You mean as in "Islam, religion of peace"?

Our immigration scandal goes waaay beyond your knee-jerk blame of Clinton. It is, in fact one in which the tweedledee and tweedledum parties share about equally in the shame. Here's a very brief review.

The Immigration Act of 1965 represented a major reform of all previous immigration laws. It abolished quotas that discriminated against nationalities, substituting an overall limit of 170,000 immigrants from the Eastern Hemisphere and 120,000 immigrants from the Western Hemisphere.

In 1990, the Immigration Act increased the number of immigrants allowed to enter the United States by nearly 40 percent.

Today, the United States admits approximately 900,000 legal immigrants every year, and annual immigration is swelled by another 300,000 people who illegally cross the borders of the United States. The Immigration and Naturalization Service estimates that about 5 million illegal aliens currently reside in the United States. Both legal and illegal immigrants contribute to dramatic changes in the racial, ethnic, and cultural composition of the country.
