As this summer of 2010 presses on, the main item occupying the news is the Arizona border. This is a very long, and unprotected border between Mexico and Arizona. The Federal Government of the U.S. provides no effective protection of that border, and in fact seem to enjoy the fact that there are so many illegal immigrants from "Mexico" coming into the U.S. Speculation is that the Democrat Party views these illegal immigrants as potential votes. Estimates have run from ten to twenty million potential illegal aliens in the country at this time. An alternative opinion is that these folks are really just a source of cheap labor for American business. Another side of the arguement points to the crime and drug element that is coming into the country with the illegal immigrant population. What we have not heard any mention of is the fact that this becomes an easy place for terrorists to enter the country. Post September 11, 2001 there was extreme angst that the "dots had not been connected" in recognizing the nine-eleven bombers. This referred to connections to mid-east countries, and aliens who were "legally" in this country taking flying lessons, etc. The stories were well documented. We really sounded concerned that our national security folks had dropped the ball. Well, how about having a wide open border, and all but inviting any and all to cross it? I believe we are in for another big castastrophe, and I believe it can and should be placed firmly at the feet of Mr. Obama and his administration. Of course, "I told you so" is going to be of little consequence when yet thousands of American Citizens are once again slaughtered by religious and or political zealots. Maybe a good tactic would be to point out that some illegal aliens might also be killed in such an attack. That might actually cause some concern on the part of the current administration.
