Closing immigration loopholes first step in fighting terrorism

Considering the next strike -- or at least the next attempted strike -- is certainly imminent, the sooner we tighten our borders and start keeping an eye on international visitors, the better.

It is absurd to be patting down Granny in the interest of political correctness.

Why is it that before the terrorist attacks, those of us who favored immigration reform were racist, xenophobic nazis, but now we are right? I love being right.

[TomGuy]

I have to agree...and then sweep those "visitors" still here for illegal documentation and expired visas...and export the holders to the nearist exit.

[seamus]

The question is will the current gov't dare to close up the borders.

It's not a matter of closing the borders, but of monitoring them as if we give a sh*t about our country, and national security.

I find it amazing that California's Prop 187 was so popular, and so controversial at the same time.

Calling Tom Ridge: Start HERE!: Closing immigration loopholes is first step in fighting terrorism

Militarizing our borders is the first, necessary step in our war on terrorism. That's the way they'll bring in weapons of mass destruction.

The Colombian drug lords have pledged to help the terrorists smuggle whatever they need in. The National Guard is reassuring at the airport, but we need them at the borders, too.

It's time to stop blocking our borders with orange highway cones over-night and expecting that to stop terrorists. We need some serious border security. Now.

This is an interesting development. Do you have documentation or a link to go to for this information?

Time To Make It As Difficult to Enter This Country As It Is To Board An Airliner

When are we going to wake up to the fact that this massive criminal illegal alien invasion must stop. How many more terrorist are here among us? We have allowed this to happen and it’s now time to end the free for all at our borders. The very lives of our families and loved ones depend on this security of our borders.

This is no longer business as usual. We need to change they way we look at people that gain entry to our nation illegally. As it is now, Sadam himself could enter our country with little or no effort.

Our Borders have been bleeding for years and have become a national disgrace. Estimates range between 10 million and 20 million illegal aliens that are now in our nation. And they are not all Mexicans.

We are now finding out that some of these terrorist involved with this murderous acts against our nation entered our country illegally. We need a massive crackdown on people that enter our nation illegally. We need to protect our country. We need to regain control of all of our borders.

Please realize that as I write this, a small team of terrorist with weapons of mass destruction could be entering this nation illegally, right now. They could already be here illegally, waiting, planning. With 10 to 20 million criminal illegal aliens already in country, how many of them are here with agendas of death?

You noticed that too?

[Joe Hadenuf]

California stepped up to the plate several years ago in an attempt to stop this massive criminal illegal alien invasion. The people of California held an election and voted 3 to 1 in favor of proposition 187 which would have put a stop to much of the tax paid support of illegal aliens and the federal government stepped in and burned our ballots and declared our election unconstitutional.

Our so-called leaders and politicians from both of these main stream parties remain treasonously silent, month after month, year after year, decade after decade while our borders have become a nation disgrace and a national security nightmare.

The open border "free for all" continues....

BANG*

[Dogs in the field]

This step is 20 years overdue. The people of Arizona have been begging the politicians for years for some protection from the Mexican criminals who routinely murder, run drugs and steal cars in this State. Maybe now we'll see some action.

[LADY J]

We need to start bombarding Washington with emails and letters and putting a lot of public pressure on them!

It seems they won't make a move unless the polls tell them what to do...so LET'S TELL THEM!!!

[Joe Hadenuf]

If you factor in the massive illegal voting fraud, we won that election 3 to 1.

[seamus]

The people of California held an election and voted 3 to 1 in favor of proposition 187...

Yet, if you listen to pundits today, they'll say that politicians that embraced Prop 187 are toxic. Is that true in California (where I plan to move in two to three years) or is that just the usual pap of the liberal media?

RE: Blocking the Border with Orange Highway cones to keep terrorists out.

And you know what? CONgress didn't give a crap until September 11th.

[TedTC]

Hope you can speak Spanish! por que el estado de California es el estado de Mexico y la gente son Mexicanos. Los gringos de California viven ahora en Oregon or Washington.

Grammer police...please take it easy on me, it's been awhile.
