So what if there are a few more Al Queda terrorist attacks, so long as they can get more cheap labor and more votes from immigrants?
And if and when there is another terrorist attack, they'll simply cry crocodile tears and pass new edicts to infringe upon our Rights. Who knows, after a few more incidents, maybe we'll get troops on the streets, hardened interstate checkpoints, and internal concentration camps. This is the 21st century version of "freedom".
In the meantime, all Americans should make sure that they have the tools to defend their lives and their property from those Islamic scumbags; and to defend their Freedom from a more insidious enemy when The Day comes.
FYI
I know Islamic material has been found before in the mountains of border garbage; as they shed any evidence of origin and assume "hispanic" identities.
President Bush, build this wall! (along our southern border)
The terrorist visa loophole remains
Nearly three years after the September 11 attacks, the federal government has yet to come up with a system for revoking foreign terrorists' visas and removing them from the United States.
One major problem highlighted at Tuesday's hearing is that, once people enter the United States, the law makes it absurdly difficult to revoke their visa. State Department consular officers and Customs and Border Protection officers have far-reaching discretionary authority to grant or deny visas to non-citizens. But the situation is reversed after a foreign alien gets into the United States even if the federal government subsequently obtains information that that person is involved in terrorism. Once here, he legally is entitled to fight his deportation in immigration court. And, despite the fact that he is accused of terrorist activity, this alien may be allowed to remain free in this country while fighting the government's effort to deport him. This situation needs to change.
A non-citizen's presence in this country should be treated as a privilege not a right. If such a person wants to contest his designation as a terrorist, he should be required to do it from outside the country (or inside a detention facility here).
First, and at least, the US consulate has to work with the Mexican authorities to maintain strict vigilance against Middle Easterners trying to change their names in Mexican courts or otherwise. The same holds true for name change attempts in Saudi Arabia and other suspect nations.
Second, in the US, all such attempted name changes should be forwarded immediatly to the Department of Homeland Security, and checked, before any decision can be made. After detainment and questioning, a decision may be reached following deportation.
Third, and greatest, the US must secure all borders, points of entry, frontiers, oceanfronts, and airspace in all the states, and also the US territories. This must happen right away.

He's my current Congressman, and a decent and good man who's on the right side in this fight.
Well damnit all to hell, anyway. This is just f*$@&^g great.
After all...they're just coming here to blow up people Americans won't.
This last sentence does not make sense. If it's classified, he would not have any OK to release this material at all.

The enemy is infiltrating this country. They surely have recruited, planted, bribed, and/or blackmailed a number of our politicians. Why else the cry for retaining illegals, even violent gangs, and providing them with special perks?
Instead of having our soldiers dying in large numbers in Iraq, they should be protecting our borders and rounding up and deporting illegal aliens.
AY YI Yi yi!
BTTT and adding the other border states to Topics
I expect NOTHING to be done about this.. the only people in the country taking this seriously are the folks who live in the border states and have been putting up with real mexican illegals shenanigans for years. The rest of the country thinks they're immune and as long as we have the commander in chief still trying desperately to get Hispanic votes, NOTHING will be done.
Joe, is there anything to substantiate this yet? Call me skeptical, but I want more proof.

Offer all the suspicous Mexican types pork, if they refuse, you have to be suspicious.
