Month: February 2015

This coming Friday, February 27 funding for the Department of Homeland Security will run out unless the Senate votes for a continuing resolution to provide funds to keep the DHS funded but not fund the illegal amnesty program.  The House of Representatives has passed the bill, H.R. 240 (Text) and now it is up to the Senate to act.

The administration is engaged in a game of “Political Chicken” with the safety and security of the United States hanging in the balance.  In point of fact, this is a case of “Heads they win / Tails we lose.”  The amnesty program that the administration is determined to create with enabling legislation, as required by the Constitution, would not only undermine the normal procedures and hence the Constitution and the “Rule of Law”

 as the Republican leadership has maintained throughout this battle, but would also undermine national security, public safety and a host of other issues that are directly dependent on having an immigration system that possesses true integrity.

Given the gravity of the issue it is imperative that our leaders, in the administration and in Congress, deal with the objective truth and not delude themselves and our citizens into thinking that they can ignore commonsense and the warnings, recommendations and findings of the 9/11 Commission without potential dire consequences.

Winning political battles at the expense of losing American lives- potentially huge numbers of lives, is no victory!

I have written extensively about the reasons why a massive amnesty program would have severe national security repercussions.  My most recent article examines these issues and also shows how disingenuous Mr. Johnson’s arguments are and provides questions that he should have been asked by the reporters who interviewed him.  For whatever reason(s) these questions were never asked and hence, not answered.  At the very least this should provide you with food for thought.

I urge you to contact your elected representatives- your senators and the member of the House of Representatives who was elected to represent you and your family and ask these basic questions. 

In this perilous era, this is not simply your right, but your obligation!

Here are links to some of my recent articles that delve into just how wrong-headed and down-right dangerous a massive amnesty program is for America and Americans.

Sleeper Cells: The Immigration Component of the Threat

On February 17, 2015 FrontPage Magazine published my article:

Fighting the War on Terror with Immigration Sanity »

Time for a serious reality check on what really needs to be done to win this battle.

Our immigration system is composed of many moving parts and all must be effectively dealt with.  If “a chain is as strong as its weakest link,” the immigration system must be thought of as a chain with extremely weak and even missing links.

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!
