"The Nexus Between Immigration and Public Health"

Hi Gang:

Kindly forward this e-mail to as many folks as you can and then ask that those to whom you forward this do the same- I am attempting to create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!”

On October 22, 2014 CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my latest commentary:

My piece was predicated on the concerns about extremely dangerous communicable diseases such as the Ebola virus, spreading to the United States by people entering the United States who are infected with this potentially deadly virus.

It is more than a bit ironic that when open borders advocates, whom I have come to refer to as the immigration anarchists, have spoken about the unfairness inherent in enforcing our immigration laws, they invoked a romanticized version of Ellis Island.  Of course, Ellis Island was, in reality, a quarantine station that was operated by Public Health officials as well as officials of the Immigration Service.
On October 7, 2014 FrontPage Magazine published my article, “Time for a New Ellis Island?”
Our borders and our immigration laws are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against aliens whose presence would pose a threat to the safety and well-being of America and Americans.
It is essential that any discussion about immigration be fact-based.  The false vitriolic accusations routinely made by the immigration anarchists about those of us who understand the true nature and importance of our immigration laws need to be seen for what they are.  Our nation cannot defend itself and its citizens from foreign nationals (aliens) who suffer dangerous communicable diseases and sever mental illness.  Nor can we be protected from transnational criminals or international terrorists  if our borders remain porous and if our immigration laws are not enforced.
It is astonishing that even in this post 9/11 world with increasing threats posed by terrorists, transnational criminal organizations and the threats posed by aliens suffering from dangerous communicable diseases, the administration and all too many politicians from both parties will do everything they possibly can to find lame excuses to not actually secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.  For the most part they are seeking to garner massive campaign contributions from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a long list of corporations, special interest groups and others who profit greatly by providing easy access to our nation by aliens from around the world irrespective of any threats they may pose to our wellbeing.  
There are many more components to the immigration system than our southern border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico.  In point of fact, I discussed the many components of the immigration system in my July 7, 2014 FrontPage Magazine article,  “Border Security and the Immigration Colander.”
Here is the first paragraph to be found in the preface of  The 9/11 Commission Staff Report on Terrorist Travel:

“It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.”

For years the administration has claimed that our southern border has never been more secure.  If you want to know what the truth is, you need to watch the documentary, “Border States of America,” hosted by actor Nick Searcy.  I am proud to appear in this important, hard-hitting documentary.  It is available for free online by clicking on the link.  Contributions to defray the cost of this film are, however, welcome.

The importance of our borders and our immigration laws cannot be overemphasized.  In the war on terror and transnational gangs, they are our first line of defense and our last line of defense against international terrorists and transnational criminals.  They are equally important to American workers who are facing unfair competition from foreign workers, aided and abetted by the administration and advocates for “Sanctuary Cities” and Comprehensive Immigration Reform.


On June 13, 2013 I was interviewed by Neil Cavuto at Fox News on the topic:

The interview ran about 4 minutes and is worth watching.

On April 4, 2014, CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my commentary that asks the questions all Americans need to ask their political “representatives.”  My commentary is aptly titled:  “How? Why?”

The findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission must be the starting point for any discussion about immigration legislation.  That commission determined that a lack of border security, including the visa process. and fraud in the immigration benefits program, enabled terrorists to enter and embed themselves in the United States, as they went about their deadly preparations.


In his historic speech before the 3rd Army on May 31, 1944, General George S. Patton said, on the strategy of holding a position:

“We’re not holding anything, we’ll let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly, and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.”

Pushing back against Comprehensive Immigration Reform is the same as holding position. The time has come for us to advance by demanding that our borders be made truly secure and our immigration laws be effectively administered and enforced.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform violates all of the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission but no one is willing to even consider how the lack of real border security and the lack of real integrity to the various components of the immigration system imperil national security and public safety.

Immigration is not a single issue but a singular issue that impacts nearly every challenge and threat confronting the United States today!  Simply stated, the immigration laws were enacted to save lives and protect the jobs of American workers.
It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American!”
Our armed forces are charged with securing America’s borders externally while the DHS is supposed to secure those same borders from within.  The failures of the DHS to live up to its half of the equation are undermining the efforts, valor and incredible sacrifices of Americas men and women who serve in our military!
If our government’s failures to protect American jobs by securing our nation’s borders and effectively enforcing our immigration laws concerns you or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and Congressional “Representative. This is not only your right- it is your obligation! 

All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as dumb as they hope we are!

We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance.

This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!

You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!

Democracy is not a spectator sport!

Lead, follow or get out of the way!
