January 4, 2005 -- Relatives of 9/11 victims vowed yesterday to press Congress to tighten the borders and crack down on illegal immigration. "We're going to hold their feet to the fire," Joan Molinaro, a member of 9/11 Families for a Secure America, said during a press conference at Ground Zero.
Members of the group, which represents families of 300 people who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, said they wanted to remind Congress, which convenes today, that it must revisit border security and tighter identification requirements for visas and driver's licenses.
The group joined Rep. James Sensenbrenner (Wis.), House Judiciary Committee chairman, and some other prominent Republicans last year in a failed attempt to include measures against illegal immigration in the intelligence bill that President Bush signed last month.
Sensenbrenner is expected to re-introduce the legislation today.
Families for a Secure America has charged that the failure to keep out unauthorized aliens led directly to the 9/11 attacks.
The group calls the problem of illegal entry into the country "massive" and warns that it has grown over the past 30 years.

Correct Headline: 9/11 GROUP VOWS TO PUT CONGRESS' 'FEET TO FIRE'(Restrict ILLEGAL ALIENS now)
TYPO ERROR
Good.
This group ought to allow everyone that's interested to join the group. They would have millions in short order.
People need to block the presidents intent to give legal statis to all the ILLEGAL's already here. I'm all for rounding them up and sending them back mostly to Fox and let him put them to work in his own country.
Bush is going to face a coalition of Americans that he apparently does not have the imagination to dream up.

Excuse me. Were'nt all the terrorists of 9/11 here legally? I thought they were all carrying legal passports.
This whole "illegal" angle feels well-mean't, but fishy.
Are these families being used to advance other causes? Besides, are'nt most of the terrorist "sleeper cells" here represented by American citizens,albiet immigrants who have become naturalized?
Sorry,but my BS meter is going off.

>"Were'nt all the terrorists of 9/11 here legally? I thought they were all carrying legal passports."<
> I believe most had expired student visas? Also, most of them had a half dozen drivers licenses from differant states.
Thats where Sensenbrenner comes in, he wants to reintroduce legislation on illegal aliens and drivers licenses.
Most people that hang out in the FR immigration threads have never heard of the SEVIS-CIPRIS fiasco, but Congress is haunted by it.
It has more than grown, it has EXPLODED and is out of control.

I've gotta admit, I know nothing about it; I seem to recall an article at townhall.com saying it was a big money making boon for immigration lawyers. Is this (below) what you are referring to?

Good work! Keep it up and don't let Bush give amnesty to millions of illegals who are here, either.
The second program was then composed by that same ally, after he became Director of Policy at INS. The taxpayer would pay for this program.
According to an article published 60-120 days ago, there appears to be some money problems with the program so that you could say that after all these years since the first WTC bombing, we still don't have a fully operational student tracking system. But as a consolation, we've got plenty of money to chase mexicans around the Arizona desert.
Let me explain the facts to you, the facts as Congress knows them.
The terror threats this country faces from illegals are:
1.Muslims that entered this country on a visa and then didn't leave.
2.Muslims that illegally enter the country from Canada. If you are not aquainted with the details of the Millenium Bomber, you should be.
3.The clamps that have been put on the Mexican border since 9-11 has raised the price of a coyote so high that the drug cartels have entered that business. With their international connections and distribution systems inside the US, if the price is right, thay can get a terror attack squad into Mexico, across the border, and to the final destination. Easily.
Yeah right. All of the terrorists are coming through Canada.
No problem with gangs sympathetic to Islamo-facsism from Central/Latin America. Sure.
I guess these stories are all BS.

I have no intentions of trying to change or influence what you think. You are going to think what you want to think. I am pointing out that the facts as you know them and the facts as Congress knows them are entirely different. They don't read Vdare and Free Republic.
But, if you think it helps, start another thread.
As well it should be.
