I agree with you. I especially agree with this statement:
"makes no sense at all to me is allowing the conditions at our borders to continue to deteriorate while at the same time worrying about when and from where the next attack might come"
I just think they are doing the best they can right now. It is a matter of manpower, and look at how just getting a "homeland" security department is taking so long. Unless there is a Republican lead Senate, we are in for even more stall tactics period.
But moving departments around, trying to make them more efficient, doesn't just happen immediately. Sadly, it took years to become this big of a mess. It is kind of like losing weight,.. it goes on easy.. is harder than hell to take off.
Lots of things to fix. But I totally agree.. our borders are a priority. I honestly feel they are working on it. Seems slower than molasses.. but if they are doing what I think they are.. in a couple years, we will SEE the improvements. It just can't happen overnight.
Which is why they wanted a TIPS program. And I'm SURE you saw the outrage at that!! So what do ya do?? What are the solutions. Tangible and real that could be done any faster than the administration is doing it?
There is training.. manning. It is a HUGE job.
That is my point. We can't imagine it is a simple task. It isn't.
We'll be watching this issue also. It is too important NOT TO!! But it isn't numero uno priority for right now (SP?). I'm not saying they aren't working on it.. I happen to think they are. Just MHO

The problem with a TIPS program is that it is too reminiscent of communism. Furthermore, when official documents have identified Christians, Constitutionalists, and Defenders of the second amenment as terrorists, this has the ability to be abused.
If the administration would just come out and say that we do not believe in global government, TIPS will not be abused, but will be used in a reasonable manner. If they will say that Christians are not terrorists, and if they will stop leaving our borders wide-open, perhaps people would take it more seriously.
What is the CIA hiding? Why is everything "confidential"? Something is funny here.
