Month: January 2015

The first step in problem solving is to identify the components of the problem and then devising the best strategies to most effectively deal with the problem.  Sometimes the problems we face may be life-threatening.  

There are some folks who, when they are told that they suffer from potentially fatal illnesses curl up in the fetal position, at least metaphorically and attempt to go about their lives as though they had not been given that terrifying diagnosis.  Almost invariably, such people do not survive.

Other people who receive such a diagnosis will do their homework and research to find the best doctors and the best modality of treatments and pursue their illnesses aggressively.  Obviously this group has the best chance for a cure that will save their lives.

It is not a “news flash” that we are living in an extremely perilous era that poses an existential threat to America.  The terrorists who have carried out a long series of deadly gruesome savage attacks around the world where the goal is to be as violent and grotesque as possible.  Simply stated, today our nation is suffering from a potentially fatal disease- the threats posed by international terrorists and transnational criminal organizations.  

To date nearly every terrorist who has committed or attempted to commit a deadly attack in the United States has been a foreign national who, in one way or another, managed to gain entry into the United States and then manage to hide in plain sight or, as the 9/11 Commission referred to this as gaol of keeping a low profile to hide in plain sight as the “embedding process.”

If the goal is to prevent the entry of such individuals, then it must be recognized that immigration law enforcement is the key tool that must be made as effective as possible.  This does not take a stratospheric IQ to understand.  HOWEVER, there are many, many individuals, industries and special interest groups who are adamantly determined to eradicate the borders of the United States and facilitate the flood of aliens including foreign students, foreign workers, foreign tourists into the United States.

The outrageous strategy that they are employing to make damned certain that their goals are met irrespective of the potential that this creates for America and Americans is convince as many folks as possible that, as one member of Congress actually told me during a hearing into the failures of the immigration system, “Immigration has nothing to do with terrorism!”

Talk about assuming the position- the fetal position!

The advocates for Comprehensive Immigration Reform are supporting an extremely dangerous program that would irrevocably undermine national security.  It is time to address the truth in this threat to the security of our nation and the lives of our citizens.

My article focused on the truth about the role of effective immigration law enforcement in the “War on Terror.”

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. 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 July 2, 2013 the Washington Times published my Op-Ed:

CUTLER: Tough questions about immigration ‘reform’

Who will find the answers while there’s still time to prevent a disaster?

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

“Does immigration reform pose too many risks?”  

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?”

In his historic speech before the 3^rd 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.

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.

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.  In point of fact, our borders and our immigration laws are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against international terrorists and transnational criminals.

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!
