I'll answer your two posts in one. First off, the Dubai company isn't investing in the US. They are taking over a contract that we had with a British co.

Secondly, it's nice that the Dubai co. is investing in security, but the bottom line is that security at our ports is the responsibility of our Coast Guard, and will remain that way.

Yes. They are. Otherwise CIFIUS would not have heard ruled on it.

Our security depends upon American citizens to stop this insane bullshit. Government needs to listen to the people and listen well. Doing whatever the elite think is best is not in America's best interest and there are 290 million non elite people in America who think this is bad for national security.

And the muzzies are decrying that if we don't follow through with the deal we are racists. Striking the emotional issue with the R word only allows them to get stronger at our expense. Saying no is not racist but intelligence. Buying into the racist bullshit is exactly what they want to use to intimidate us into cooperation.

Enough said.
