Since September 11th,...the dots between routine law enforcement, routine immigration enforcement, and securing our homeland.
With the growth of the foreign gangs...al-Qaeda is seeking their help in crossing the border.
The 9/11 Commission said, "abuse of the immigration system and a lack of interior immigration enforcement were working together to support terrorist activity."
When local police encounter illegal aliens in the routine course of their work, and they contact the Feds, they are often told "to release the aliens." ...we know that Middle Eastern terrorists are recruiting non-Middle Easterners.
...we should help police pursue the strategy that put mobster Al Capone behind bars. The FBI couldn't make a criminal case against him even though he had a massive record of other crimes. However, Treasury officers could make a case against him based on tax evasion charges. That got one of the major mobsters of that era off American streets.
...they could make a felony case against them for reentering the U.S. after deportation.
Legislation like the CLEAR Act,...will help state and local law enforcement get some help from immigration authorities. CLEAR would apply the broken windows policing model to immigration, and it would apply an attrition strategy to fighting immigration lawlessness.
...quote from the 9/11 Commission Staff Report: "Had the immigration system set a higher bar for determining whether people are who or what they claim to be and ensuring routine consequences for violations it could potentially have excluded, removed, or come further into contact with several hijackers, who did not appear to meet the terms of admitting short-term visitors."
...there's no acceptable way to control immigration without consistently enforcing the immigration laws and involving state and local police officers through the course of their routine duties.

Very interesting interviews. Thanks to the ACLU and their cronies law enforcement is forced to protect these criminals and terrorists.
Thanks.
I didn't know the WHOLE of the interviews could be posted.
It's worth the read.
The ACLU is a Communist Front Organization!
I wish Bush would get some guts.
Oh,yeah... special I.D.'s...That's the ticket!
Makes ya wonder,"What ever happened to the simple logic of 'legal/illegal'?"
(Sure hope it's not too late to get our country back.)
