" We are pro-actively fighting a ‘war on terrorism’ six thousand miles from our shore, and yet an onslaught that is threatening to destroy us, both physically and economically, and that also affords terrorists the ability to find a home and a breeding ground from which to proselytize on our own soil, and in our own neighborhoods, is being allowed to continue unabated"

It truly does boggle the mind. After 9/11 all immigration from 25 or 26 Muslim countries should have been halted, all non-citizens from those countries returned to their homelands and the borders secured. It's been done in the past. Unfortunately, the fear of being labeled a racist or unfair to a particular group of people by liberal America is stronger than the fear of terrorist bombings by Muslim immigrants legal or illegal. Incredibly, I see more burkas (and I see them often) now then before 9/11 (when I encountered NONE).

Excellent article, joanie, and well written!

100%. I have lost ALL faith the GWB ever had any intentions to do anything about this. In fact, it seems to me at least that 9/11 was a unfortunate event for him because it halted his immigration plans which he had in mind from day one.
