H.R. 4437 needs to be passed yesterday, funded and implemented by Monday. That is, if all this Homeland Security stuff isn't just a pile of doodoo. The "911 Commission" should have been about REAL SECURITY!

When the borders were not closed down on 9/11, or at least by 9/12, I knew that we would not have major security for the homeland. I'm sure the gummint has succeeded in preventing further acts of terrorism here since, but we are still vulnerable and remain vulnerable forever unless the border is secure.

It is mind-boggling to me that the gummint is tossing the dice on this -- weighing the benefits of illegal alien labor against the losses of possible terrorism because of open borders.

HR 4437 was "passed" already. The Senate is simply debating their own version of immigration reform. Once that passes, then we will be even. The real fight will be Conference Committee and what version (if any) gets to the President's desk.
