Immigration Is Not National Security: Lack of It Imperils the Nation

In sum, the insistence by impassioned theorists that illegal immigration south of the border is the pre-eminent problem of our time makes perfect sense — or would, had those been Salvadoreans piloting airplanes on 9/11, Guatemalans bankrolling their efforts, Hondurans plotting attacks on the subways and government buildings of Europe, and Mexicans across the global labor diaspora plotting how to bring down the American government, presumably by poisoning our gardens and toilets. If you do not think that is the way it went down, then Occam's razor dictates this: The sheer volume of emotion on the subject of illegal aliens makes most sense as a manifestation of denial about who would really like to see the end of the American republic — as it turns out, one form of many now circulating.

"Even with all the discussion on this and other threads since the November elections, I still believe the war is over.
The Illegals have won.

You could be right. But even with all this talk about comprehensive immigration reform (aka amnesty), we will still have a problem. There's no solution or end in sight wrt illegal immigration....Hola!

AMEN!

I wouldn't even be adverse to the confiscation of anything they can't prove they brought across the border with them ... the rest being obtained in the commission of a crime.

Do that and it'll really get folks attention who want to flaunt our laws.
