Terrorism and out nation's ports

Snip: But you would have been wrong. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced Tuesday that only now will the federal government start comparing its watch list with port employee lists - well, not now, lest the agency move too precipitously, but this summer. It will also check employees against lists of illegal immigrants (raising the question of why, if the government has lists of illegal immigrants, their presence is not addressed).

This new step, while welcome, is incomplete. It leaves huge security holes through which those who wish to do us harm can, literally, drive a truck. Among the people who will not be checked against terrorist watch lists: the truck drivers who pick up and drop off containers. At the port of Hampton Roads, that's 1.1 million containers a year. Multiply that by all the nation's ports and that's a lot of opportunities for a terrorist or a sympathizer to find a way in. Nor will the checks cover rail workers or those with outside companies who have access to marine facilities.

Do you know the way to San Antonio?

Snip: It also means a labor market with jobs for just about every man and woman who wants one: residents, legal immigrants, and migrants without papers who paid a "coyote" $300 to swim them across the Rio Grande and hide them in the back of a truck for the three-hour drive north. San Antonio is a city that has reached an accommodation with its laborers and the legal status of its workers, and it's a family secret of sorts -- not one that's well kept. Undocumented laborers are a vital component of the city's workforce.

UK 145 hit and run deaths by illegals

Snippets: Meanwhile, as it emerged that rogue drivers are avoiding speeding tickets by using false addresses, officials were forced to admit that as many as 700,000 cars may be on the roads illegally because they are not properly registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency database.

Government figures also show that there are more than a million uninsured drivers on the roads, with many more using cars without a driving licence. Random police checks suggest the true number of uninsured drivers could be as high as five million. Uninsured drivers are 10 times more likely to drink and drive, six times more likely to drive an unsafe vehicle and three times more likely to drive without due care and attention.

I heard that report, JP. It wasn't about a new capture.

They interviewed the Customs Inspector who, in 2003, turned away this terrorist at O'Hare:
