York’s Morning News on Newsradio 910/WSBA York, PA
The 9/11 Commission Staff Report on Terrorist Travel detailed numerous examples of instances where terrorists not only made use of visa and immigration benefit fraud to enter the United States but to also embed themselves in the United States.
To cite an example, page 47 of the above-noted report contained the following paragraph:
“Once terrorists had entered the United States, their next challenge was to find a way to remain here. Their primary method was immigration fraud. For example, Yousef and Ajaj concocted bogus political asylum stories when they arrived in the United States. Mahmoud Abouhalima, involved in both the World Trade Center and landmarks plots, received temporary residence under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW) program, after falsely claiming that he picked beans in Florida.
“Mohammed Salameh, who rented the truck used in the bombing, overstayed his tourist visa. He then applied for permanent residency under the agricultural workers program, but was rejected.
“Eyad Mahmoud Ismail, who drove the van containing the bomb, took English-language classes at Wichita State University in Kansas on a student visa; after he dropped out, he remained in the United States out of status.”
“Building an Immigration System Worthy of American Values”
On April 16, 2013 AIM (Accuracy In Media) published my article, “Unobtainium” and Border Deception“.
In this article, my focus was the way that the proponents for Comprehensive Immigration Reform had manipulated the discussion to have most folks focus on whether or not the border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico is secure. Most certainly that border is anything but secure, but this is only one of many vital components to the immigration system. Just as only one hole in the bottom of a boat is able to cause a boat to sink, each failing of the immigration system has potentially catastrophic implications for America and Americans. Inexplicably with few exceptions, the great majority of our leaders and the media have come to be hypnotized by the issue of border security along the Southwest Border while ignoring a list of other issues that are being entirely ignored!
On May 2, 2013 I was invited to participate in an interview with Megyn Kelly at Fox News. The video of the interview was posted on the Fox News Insider website and given the title:
Immigration Expert: The System Failed in Boston and Keeps on Failing
Please take the time to watch the interview- it runs about 8 minutes. Megyn gave me ample opportunity to provide my views on the nexus between immigration and national security including the Boston bombing case and how Comprehensive Immigration Reform would undermine national security.
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!
