Crossing the Border in Plain Sight
"Rocket Scientist" Exposes DHS Deceit
American Patrol Report -- September 21
    Hidden in Plain Sight --The Reason for Border Enforcement Failure, explains in simple language how the government goes about keeping the truth about the border from the American people, and why.
    "Hidden in Plain Sight" shows how, over the years, the government has gone to great lengths to avoid being graded on border enforcement. "If you can't measure it, you can't improve it," Spencer says, "and the government does not really want to enforce our borders."
    Glenn Spencer, author of the report, goes into his background in rocket engine analysis and in systems engineering to show that he is qualified to comment on the issue of assessing Border Patrol performance.
    Recently the GAO exposed the failure of DHS to systematically evaluate the impact of new border fencing. (See Scathing Report on Border Security Issued –NY Times
    Spencer describes Operation Plain Sight, a project to show it is possible to count the people who cross the border illegally. "They cross in plain sight," Spencer said.

The racism card   
When Barack Obama was elected president of the United States, some suggested that race played a factor in his success.

I warned you about Obama's illegal alien health insurance plan   
Exactly one week after Barack Obama's speech to Congress (the infamous Joe Wilson "you lie" speech), Joe Wilson has been vindicated. Those two words, "you lie," have prophetically become, perhaps, the two most profound and legitimate words to be uttered by a Congressman. Joe Wilson encapsulated, with two words, Obama's entire resume, and is causing great distress on the Left...
