It's been some time now since the tragic series of events unfolded and an incredible maze of terrorist links is rapidly being uncovered. From potentially hundreds of terrorists secretly slipping into the country (reportedly from Cuba) to flight training schemes within our own domestic schools, it has become all too apparent that our country has been invaded. This is not a military invasion in a classic sense, but rather one in which our own neighbor may be the enemy and we have no way of knowing it.
Recent detentions of suspected terrorists have been limited by statutes which only allow law enforcement agencies to hold detainees for a limited period of time. If this is the case, what are the statutes in time of war? Are suspected spies of a hostile country entitled to the same protection as friendly nations? Are we going to dance around and allow further encroachment of our country by enemy forces? The time to put a stop to this is now, and the gloves must come off if we are to deter any bloodshed in the future.
These so-called students have been allowed to come in to our coutnry for years on student visas, sponsored by flying schools, tech schools and even Universities, never report to the school. In many cases it's been years before the appropriate government agencies are aware and in most cases, the "students" are long gone. Visas, passports and imigration needs to be drastically reduced until we can successfully control this flood of hostile persons entering our country. Borders need to be more closely guarded, foreign "tourists" need to be more closely examined, especially those of suspicious national origin and most importantly, better communications need to be mainatined between agencies. Sure, it IS truly a shame that someone from India or Saudi Arabia must endure ongoing suspicions and must provide proof positive of their intentions, but what are the altrenatives? Over 40,000 people in New York already have seen the consequences of our free and open borders and the results of liberals dictating that all persons must be treated equal. We have hundreds of terrorists who are operating on falsified documents, stolen identifications and expired visas. They MUST be rooted out before they are allowed to strike again. The very site that I write from was used extensively by the hijackers and their allies to communicate and plan and there is no way to identify the identities from it's files. Those foreign citizens who intend only good must understand the needs of the many WILL come before the feelings of the few. If we are to prevent further bloodshed, we must more closely monitor potential threats and we're just going to have to get used to that fact! |
