Homeland
Insecurity: You Can't Fix Stupid
Homeland
"security" is quickly becoming a sick and dangerous
joke...and not just because of those pretty-colored security
warnings the feds trot out every holiday weekend. Some examples...
-- Tom Quinn heads up the Federal Air Marshal Service under the
Department of Homeland Security. The air marshals he commands
are supposed to secretly ride on passenger airplanes unnoticed
and be ready to thwart any potential future hijackings. |

Fingerprints identifying certain foreign
passengers at McCarran International Airport. Drone planes flying

illegal aliens] to make beds, build houses, wash dishes. -- These
twin scenarios were laid out in a conference called "2010:
Nevada and Latin America," held Tuesday at the University

policy planners should give us a clue
...One class of people is losing its
temper: Americans who resent the effects of having thousands
of uninvited guests walking across their pastures or lawns on
their way to overcrowded hovels, where they dwell while they

amount to the second-highest category in GNP after petroleum. |

It's Not
Amnesty! |

-- RenewAmerica.us
America
first!
...We want to see our borders protected
and illegal immigrants deported, not rewarded. As a Hispanic
American, I find it highly offensive that some believe President
Bush would lose support amongst Hispanics if he doesn't pander
to illegals. Quite the contrary, my grandparents immigrated to
the United States legally. Would it be fair to them or those
who obeyed our immigration laws to reward those who cut in line?
