treat the port operators like we do defense contractors. limit their ability to use entry visas based on their "business interests" in the US that result from these port operating contracts.
or
force them to subcontractor through a US company who would follow the same kind of security protocols a defense contractor would.
that's all I ask - I'll change my opinion of the deal if either one of the two options above are pursued. the white house is only offering a "take it or leave it" option.
The reality is "who" owns the Ports is much less important then how they are managed. And with the Ports being the most regulated industry in this Country.....They are regulated to be managed in specific ways already.
A company from the ME, Asia, or Mars owning these said ports is going to make no difference in terms of "security".
That is the big pink elephant in the room no one wants to recognize. Simply because "polls" (boo) are so much more important then facts anymore.
Sadly this ridiculous mindset (and lack of leadership mentality) is even making its way into our military.
