"Terrorists Value U.S. Citizenship More Than Our Politicians Do » The dangerous lack of scrutiny of those gaining legal status to the U.S."

Hi Gang:

Kindly forward this e-mail to as many folks as you can and then ask that those to whom you send this, to forward it along to everyone they can- I am attempting to create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!”
I urge you to get involved and demand our elected representatives actually represent us- We the People!  The information contained in my article is being provided to educate as many of our fellow Americans as possible so that they can ask the right questions and make the appropriate demands on our political leaders and representatives.  The article for which I am providing the link below should motivate everyone who reads it to call his/her senators and representatives to demand answers to know what congress is going to do to protect America and Americans.

Terrorists Value U.S. Citizenship More Than Our Politicians Do »

The dangerous lack of scrutiny of those gaining legal status to the U.S.

My article addresses the lack of the integrity to the adjudications process by which aliens are granted lawful immigrant status and even United States citizenship.  This not only encourages a flood of aliens who are encouraged to violate our borders and our laws and create a wide array of problems for America and Americans but this lack of integrity undermines national security.  The nexus between this lack of integrity in the adjudications program and its impact on national security and the ability of terrorists to achieve their horrific objectives was well documented in the 9/11 Commission Report and in the companion report, The 9/11 Commission Staff Report on Terrorist Travel.

It is beyond belief that the administration and political leaders from both political parties have made an utter and complete mockery of our immigration laws and our borders by pushing for Comprehensive Immigration Reform.  First of all the United States has the most generous immigration laws and policies of any industrialized country on this planet.  Under the already existing immigration laws the United States admits more than one million immigrants who are immediately placed on the pathway to United States citizenship.  This is a greater number of lawful immigrants than are admitted each year by all of the other countries of the world combined.  
Every year the United States naturalizes hundreds of thousands of new citizens.  This process used to be conducted with a great sense of reverence.  Bestowing United States citizenship upon an alien is a high honor to be bestowed upon a foreign national.  When I began my career with the former INS in 1971 only senior government attorneys were permitted to adjudicate these applications and field background investigations were routinely conducted.  Today the process is focused on clearing backlogs not on insuring integrity.
Nevertheless, even as we admit record numbers of immigrants, our “leaders” have declared that we should provide unknown millions of illegal aliens with lawful status.  This stops just short of simply declaring that any person born on the planet earth should be made a United States citizen.  Meanwhile, the lawful immigration system is so dysfunctional that a number of terrorists have been granted United States citizenship which entitles them to move freely around the United States and obtain a United States passport.  This not only creates huge national security risks for America and Americans but for countries around the world.
The “All Clear” in the War on Terror has not sounded- ISIS continues its bloody rampage in the Middle East and has made it clear that they are determined to carry out terror attacks inside the United States.  This alone should wake up our leaders- but incredibly the failures of the Immigration system that were supposed to be addressed after our nation was so savagely attacked on September 11, 2001 have not only not been addressed, but under the current administration have gotten worse- much worse.
Remarkably politicians have declared that once our southern border is made secure it would be appropriate to then proceed with a massive amnesty program.  I addressed this folly in my February 5, 2015 FrontPage Magazine article:

The ‘Secure Our Border First Act’ Deception »

Why it’s no solution to the immigration crisis.

Sleeper Cells: The Immigration Component of the Threat

Meanwhile, the lack of integrity to the immigration system not only undermines national security and public safety but is leading to the dismantling of America’s middle class and with it, the American Dream.

“Immigration ‘Reform’: Engineered Destruction of the Middle Class”

The real reason high-tech titans are lining up behind the amnesty effort. 

On November 15th I was honored to join three true leaders in the United States Congress in a panel discussion on immigration- Senator Jeff Sessions and Congressmen Louis Gohmert and John Fleming.  A video of this panel discussion has been posted on the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s website under the title, 

“Immigration Wars”

The perspectives of these true leaders are well worth listening to.
This is the link to that video:

FrontPage Magazine posted the video and a transcript of this panel discussion.

To provide you with a bit of additional material, during my remarks at the panel discussion, I referenced an Op-Ed I had written for the Washington Times in which I articulated my concerns about the previous attempt to enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform that the Washington Times published on June 22, 2007.  Senator Jeff Sessions quoted from my commentary, on three separate dates, from the floor of the U.S. during the contentious floor debates.  In my piece I recommended that Comprehensive Immigration Reform be given a more honest and descriptive title, I suggested that it be renamed the “Terrorist Assistance and Facilitation Act!”  

I recommend you review Senator Session’s statement on June 27, 2007 from the floor of the U.S. Senate on the Immigration Bill in which the Senator made reference to my suggested new name to that disastrous legislation in my Washington Times Op-Ed.  His impassioned pleas to his colleagues averted a catastrophe and that legislation was defeated.  However, not unlike Freddy Krueger, Comprehensive Immigration Reform has been brought back to life through the unilateral actions of President Obama and his proposed executive actions.  Furthermore, there are politicians from both parties willing to give this legislative betrayal of America and Americans CPR!

My Op-Ed was entitled:

Immigration bill a ‘No Go’

On December 19, 2014 Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS) posted my commentary:
Today our nation and our citizens face a list of challenges and threats- nearly every one of which is being exacerbated by long-standing failures of our nation to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.  To be clear, it is not “Anti-Immigrant” to want these two issues to be dealt with effectively.  In point of fact, the same immigration laws that mandate the categories of aliens to be kept our of our country and the terms under which aliens should be removed from our country have absolutely nothing to do with race, religion or ethnicity, also provide for the lawful admission of roughly one million lawful immigrants and the naturalization of hundreds of thousands of new citizens each year.
It is therefore a contradiction in terms and thinking to claim that it is “Anti-Immigrant” to support the effective enforcement and administration of our immigration laws   
Let us be clear in our thinking- it is “Pro-Immigrant” to be “Pro-Enforcement!”
When the issue of immigration comes up most people purely focus on the lack of integrity to the border that is supposed to separate the United States from America.  Clearly that border lacks integrity and represents little more than a speed bump to smugglers who transport illegal aliens and contraband including record quantities of dangerous drugs such as heroin and cocaine into the United States.
However, there are many more components to the immigration system including systems by which aliens are granted visas to enter the United States and various immigration benefits such as conferring employment authorization to aliens in the United States and also include the adjudications process by which aliens are granted lawful immigrant status and even United States citizenship.
All of these systems of the immigration system lack integrity.  Aliens who have gone on to commit crimes and even participate in terrorist attacks have often been dissevered to have successfully gamed the immigration benefits program in order to embed themselves in communities around the United States as they went about their deadly preparations.


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?”

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.

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!
