Don't bother sending a report to the White House --- it will just be 'round-filed'....

The irony of the Dems getting control of the House is that it will give Bush the opportunity to get his Amnesty for Illegals passed.

Dems win, Bush gets his Amnesty, and then they impeach him.

What a scenario.

It may be worth buy some more popcorn.

WHAT BORDER security???

"McCaul Releases Report on Border Violence (mexican drug cartels threaten border security.)"

Our enemies, hispanic and islamic, are playing games at our borders while our great leader in the WH is obsessed with fighting 'terrorists' in Iraq. The game plan was to make Iraq the battlefront that will draw 'terrorists' from all over the world into a meatgrinder. But the way it's played out is they are easily infiltrating our country as we have our eye completely off the ball and are distracted by too much focus on Iraq and Afghanistan. We are losing ground to the islamofacists because we have declared a war on "terrorists" instead of warring against the whole of the enemy. The enemy is much bigger than what we define as "terrorists".

That would certainly explain why he isn't breaking a sweat over the loss of majority and why he has had no problem pissing us all off by siding with the liberal democrats on this issue at such a critical time in an election year. Someone here earlier said, in fact, that should the Dims win, amnesty for illegals and their employers would come much easier.

anyway, if that IS the case, then the OBL agenda is much more important than I ever considered.

I'm only half way through reading this and I can't help but wonder how in the heck they are getting away with not militarizing our border?

Border Security FIRST flip floppers.

When given the opportunity to vote for an amendment to S26211 that would pass Border Security First (fence) and no 'comprehensive' reform, these Republicans voted NO. Weeks before the election, however, they have voted YES on the unfunded 700 miles of fence.

Lou Dobbs on this topic 10/17/06

PILGRIM: There is explosive new evidence that violence on the U.S.-Mexican border is spreading deep into this country. Now, despite that evidence, U.S. cities continue to break federal law by giving sanctuary to illegal aliens.

Casey Wian reports on a new congressional warning on border security and new evidence that terrorists have already cross the Mexican border into the United States.

And Bill Tucker reports on the movement to create sanctuary cities, a movement that is feeding this nation's illegal alien crisis.

We begin with Casey Wian -- Casey.

CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Kitty, there's an explosive new report out tonight from a congressional subcommittee on homeland security. It warns of growing threats from drug traffickers, illegal alien smugglers, and terrorists.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

WIAN (voice-over): A gun battle on the streets of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. These scenes took place just across the Rio Grande from the United States. Mexican government troops battling the Zetas, soldiers for drug cartels. Themselves former Mexican troops or police.

This violence is increasingly spreading across the border to the United States, according to a new report from the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Investigations.

REP. MIKE MCCAUL (R), HOMELAND SECURITY COMMITTEE: We found that the drug cartels are more violent than ever and more powerful than ever, and they are the root causes for the violence on our border. They represent the head of the snake, the head that must be eradicated.

WIAN: The report documents how Mexican drug cartels are actually increasing their grips on smuggling roots in Texas, even as the Border Patrol and National Guard deploy more resources to the area. Among its conclusions, Mexican drug traffickers are increasingly coordinating operations with U.S. gangs such as MS13.

****Members of the terrorist group Hezbollah have already entered the United States across the southwest border. And Hugo Chavez's regime in Venezuela is emerging as a potential hub of terrorism in the western hemisphere. It says Venezuela is providing documents that could be used by terrorists to obtain a U.S. visa.****

And it states the obvious: border patrol resources are inadequate.

GOV. RICK PERRY (R), TEXAS: It's not merely idle chatter to say that border security is critical to homeland security. To think that international terrorists have not already exploited our border is naive.

WIAN: The congressional investigation was launched in February after LOU DOBBS TONIGHT reported on a battle between U.S. law enforcement officers and Mexican drug smugglers in military uniforms who had crossed into the United States. We also reported the Homeland security Department documented 200 Mexican military incursions since 1996.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

WIAN: Among the report's proposed solutions, more Border Patrol agents, more border fencing, and increased cooperation with the Mexican government to control those drug cartels. Conspicuously absent from those recommendations, the president's proposed temporary worker program -- Kitty.

PILGRIM: Casey, this is an unbelievable report. This border is several thousand miles long. How widespread is this violence?

WIAN: It's growing more and more widespread every day, it seems.

We obtained a picture of an incredibly gruesome event. It was too gruesome for us to show on the air, but I can describe it to you.

Five Mexican police officers, they were decapitated. Their heads thrown on to a dance floor in (INAUDIBLE), Mexico, with a warning saying this is divine justice for all those who oppose the Mexican drug cartels -- Kitty.

PILGRIM: Casey, deeply shocking report. Thanks very much.

That report is very interesting reading. Page 28 discusses the OTM's that were caught and only a small percentage of all illegals are caught.

OTM's Caught

2003 30,147
2004 44,614
2005 165,178
2006 108,025

The report also discloses that Islamic terrorists and Hezbollah thugs have crossed.

What Homeland Security!!

What is wrong with our government and why won't they secure the border and protect us? Conservatives are very frustrated over the border issue.

We need strong border enforcers in Congress and right now the most watched seat in the House is Randy Graf for the 8th District of AZ.

Support Graf. www.votegraf.com

BTTT! I heard this on Laura this am and have been spreading the word and the doc, very important to get this out!

The entrie PDF report

Bump!!!

So why do we have Homeland Security..to announce that our borders are insecure? We already know that. I'm totally perplexed that this has gone on to this extent since 9/11. Someone needs to pay dearly for this breach of trust and right now it's the American citizen.. but it sorely shouldn't be. Bah..I'm disgusted.

Thanks JP.

Check out the House Homeland Security Report in post #15.

Simply incredible.

Lets do nothing some more...

Read it earlier and still wondering why Bush hasn't been impeached.

Bttt!

Lets do nothing some more...

The picture of the barbed wire fence just blows your mind. In South Texas we have the river but most of the illegals just walk across the bridge with approved visas. A little mordida will get an illegal a long way.

Well...my stepson in the Marines, heads back to Iraq for the second time in January....go figure.

God Bless him and bring him home safe to you.

Last i talked to him he told me of a guy that had been in his outfit and over to Iraq 3 times...the guy was sent to another unit and was going to be sent a 4th time...he went UA....i hate it for them....they should be here on our damn border....I don't like the things he tells me...he's a great kid.

There never was supposed to be any attention paid to the southern border. It was supposed to be the source for the "new America".

THE "NEW AMERICAN"..........<

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture. Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende. For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America. As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico. George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

The Path to National Suicide by Lawrence Auster (1990)

An essay on multi-culturalism and immigration.

Click the Pic!!!!

How can we account for this remarkable silence? The answer, as I will try to show, is that when the Immigration Reform Act of 1965 was being considered in Congress, the demographic impact of the bill was misunderstood and downplayed by its sponsors. As a result, the subject of population change was never seriously examined. The lawmakers’ stated intention was that the Act should not radically transform America’s ethnic character; indeed, it was taken for granted by liberals such as Robert Kennedy that it was in the nation’s interest to avoid such a change. But the dramatic ethnic transformation that has actually occurred as a result of the 1965 Act has insensibly led to acceptance of that transformation in the form of a new, multicultural vision of American society. Dominating the media and the schools, ritualistically echoed by every politician, enforced in every public institution, this orthodoxy now forbids public criticism of the new path the country has taken. “We are a nation of immigrants,” we tell ourselves— and the subject is closed. The consequences of this code of silence are bizarre. One can listen to statesmen and philosophers agonize over the multitudinous causes of our decline, and not hear a single word about the massive immigration from the Third World and the resulting social divisions. Opponents of population growth, whose crusade began in the 1960s out of a concern about the growth rate among resident Americans and its effects on the environment and the quality of life, now studiously ignore the question of immigration, which accounts for fully half of our population growth.

This curious inhibition stems, of course, from a paralyzing fear of the charge of “racism.” The very manner in which the issue is framed—as a matter of equal rights and the blessings of diversity on one side, versus “racism” on the other—tends to cut off all rational discourse on the subject. One can only wonder what would happen if the proponents of open immigration allowed the issue to be discussed, not as a moralistic dichotomy, but in terms of its real consequences. Instead of saying: “We believe in the equal and unlimited right of all people to immigrate to the U.S. and enrich our land with their diversity,” what if they said: “We believe in an immigration policy which must result in a staggering increase in our population, a revolution in our culture and way of life, and the gradual submergence of our current population by Hispanic and Caribbean and Asian peoples.” Such frankness would open up an honest debate between those who favor a radical change in America’s ethnic and cultural identity and those who think this nation should preserve its way of life and its predominant, European-American character. That is the actual choice—as distinct from the theoretical choice between “equality” and “racism”—that our nation faces. But the tyranny of silence has prevented the American people from freely making that choice.

Are we allowed to discuss these issues on Free Republic? I've already been kicked off of gopusa.com for bring this up. But that was a while back and now it isn't so verboten.

I'm really angry with the GOP on this sellout of U.S. sovereignty. And I'm hopping mad over the NAU. I live in Texas where the first leg of the NAFTA Highway will be built - the Trans Texas Corridor. Gov. Rick Perry has been pushing this $184 billion dollar boondoggle that will use eminent domain to seize nearly 600,000 acres and up to a million homes for a Spanish company called Cintra.

I think that because so many conservative forums banned any discussion of immigration, Bush border policies, the NAU and the TTC that the GOP is now paying a horrific price.

I always thought the purpose of the forums was to put the GOP leadership in touch with the base. Instead, the base was blocked or ignored. I really have no idea what will happen on 11/7. I know a lot of unhappy and very frustrated Republicans. Because of all the Jerome Corsi articles and others, it looks like America is on its way to becoming just like the EU.

Anyway, one of our hopes is to get Randy Graf elected to the 8th District in AZ. His opponent, Gabrielle Giffords is on the board of the ACLU and is a hardcore leftist who earned an F from the NRA.

Please help Randy if you can. He's 8 points behind and has been catching up from a 20 point deficit. All the liberals are pouring money into Giffords who had about $1.7 million to Randy's $600-700,000. With little money, Randy is doing a terrific job.

"1.7 million to Randy's $600-700,000. With little money, Randy is doing a terrific job."

Where is the RNC on this?
Never mind, he is not pro illegal.

If an attack occurs as a result of his neglect, he deserves whatever he gets! At some point I grew sick to death of defending the man, and this is absolutely indefensible.

I'd like to know what happens to the 'bushbots', who come out in full force on the illegal and NAU threads, but are no where to be found when these threads get posted? Notice how not a single one of them comes around to harrass or attack anyone here.

Disgusting ~ WTFU America, before it's too late!!

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

The RNC/GOP finance machine withdraw $1 million in campaign support because Randy opposes the open border policies of the Bush Adm. The GOP would rather have an open border liberal like Giffords in this House seat. Also, the GOP said that Graf could not win.

The same RNC/GOP finance machine had no problem dumping $1 million into Lincoln Chaffee's campaign.

And they wonder why the voters are furious!!

Twilight Zone ~ Bump!

If this does not prove that the "fix is in", I don't know what would!!

"...but most of the illegals just walk across the bridge with approved visas."

And just how do they get such visas? Who tracks them to make sure they go back within the time allowed by the visa?

In Spades!!

Mordidas. These are bribes for those in charge of visas.

Who tracks them to make sure they go back within the time allowed by the visa?

Nobody tracks them. Cornyn wants the time for the visas increased to 6 months. IIRC, the time limit is 30 days. This is the reason you hear of illegals entering legally but overstaying. The visa is never checked going back. Not checking at the border is also the reason Mexico has ended up with stolen cars. This has been going on for years.

"Cornyn wants the time for the visas increased to 6 months."

Screw Cornyn and what he wants. Thirty days is enough, and I would slap on strict controls and oversight as well as put a cap on how many visas can be issued within a specified period.

"This has been going on for years."

With the full knowledge and assent of our treasonous federal officials, no doubt.

It has been maybe 2 years since the visas were changed to 30 days. Cornyn's main argument was for Mexicans to be treated like we treat Canadians. He was down in the valley pushing this big time. Since no one checks them crossing to Mexico , it is useless.

However, this did give me an opportunity to write Cornyn. Hospitals in the U.S. bill the Canadian Government insurance system when a Canadian gets sick. So I asked why can't the U.S. bill the Mexican Government like the Canadian government especially if we are going to treat both countries alike. Needless to say, Cornyn never answered me.

"Hospitals in the U.S. bill the Canadian Government insurance system when a Canadian gets sick. So I asked why can't the U.S. bill the Mexican Government like the Canadian government especially if we are going to treat both countries alike. Needless to say, Cornyn never answered me."

Which ought to tell you exactly where he really stands on the illegal alien scandal plaguing the United States and its taxpayers.

Hehehe! Have you ever noticed my posts about Cornyn? I'm always truthful.

As a matter of fact, Cornyn is on the same list as FEMA.

(Gubamyster, for your ping list.)

A chart on page 3 of this report lists the FY 2005 Federal Drug Seizure stats, and this paragraph follows:

"Federal law enforcement estimates that 10% to 30% of illegal aliens are actually apprehended and 10% to 20% of drugs are seized. Therefore, in 2005, as many as 4 to 10 million illegal aliens crossed into the United States; and as much as 5.6 to 11.2 million pounds of cocaine and 34.3 to 11.2 million pounds of marijuana entered the United States."

Staggering statistics. As many as 4-10 million aliens may have entered the U.S. in 2005 alone. Sure lends the lie to the tired old stat of "11 million illegals" in this country (which we've been hearing for at least 3 years straight now.)

Those of us living in California would swear those figures are true.

We're paying a huge price in every way possible for the failure of our government to secure the borders and enforce the existing laws. Our government's response to this? "What, Me Worry?"...

Ping!

If the Gov. continues to not protect our nation from this invasion, there may come a day when We'll have to do it ourselves. How long can We wait?

We wouldn't want to f-up globalization.
