The True National Security Threat

While Barack Obama prepares for his trip to the Middle East and meeting with General Petraetus per Senator McCain's "advice" with respect to investigating the situation in Iraq and "success" of the surge, for the last several months all's been quiet on the western (and media) front during this election with the facts with respect to the true national security issue - our own broken borders.

In Arizona, at this point probably the most contentious state in the nation with respect to this issue, and suffering the most war casualties (Senator McCain's "home" state, by the way) as probably now the most frequented crossing point (since the El Paso and San Diego fences were reinforced in the 90's), this has become a political battle between the state and feds, (with the politicians playing both sides and both pointing fingers at one another). I wonder who Senator McCain's fellow Arizonans fear most - the possibility of a nuclear or air attack from Iraq or Iran, or the possibility their daughter or son might be raped or murdered, or their car or identity stolen, or that another Middle Eastern pilot might move in their condo complex due to the open borders, amnesty agendas of the Washington politicos in bed with the large commercial corporations and unions who are benefiting from this situation? (In addition to those great other military contracts). It is interesting that when Mr. McCain on his rare trips to Arizona, is reported to be staying at the "Sedona ranch." There aren't too many ranchers in Sedona anymore - mostly Californians.

Check the personal property, automobile and violent crime statistics in the border states since the last amnesty, and the increases alone speak volumes. Not to mention that during the 80's, there was no such crime as "identity theft" at the level it is now, which now includes not just credit card theft (wonder why those banking fees are so high?), but also now vote fraud. The "identity theft" I experienced as an Arizonan resident was actually a credit card theft. One of the illegals working at a local car wash even got the PIN number through security surveillance. It appears a great many of these employers that are hiring them do not trust the illegals either, since the proprietor for the car wash had installed a security camera device which monitored his cash drawers, but since the pinpads were right next to the cash register, also recorded the PIN numbers.

It is just beginning to become clear to other states throughout the nation as the full effects of the 80's amnesty is now becoming evident, with the addition of the negligence even after that amnesty in securing our borders and tightening up our immigration practices. Hospital emergency room waiting periods now in New Orleans (due to the government /private contractors hiring practices) are increasing to the same levels as those in Phoenix and Tucson to three to four hours. Crime statistics in the New Orleans area are beginning to climb, just as those in Phoenix and Tucson did even in spite of the growth, a great deal of that growth was the increase in illegals in addition to the retirees and those Californians who fled to Arizona who could no longer afford to live in their state. They also brought their liberal politics, it appears, with them - of course until it is one of them who is adversely affected. It won't take another Level 5 hurricane to flood New Orleans next time since those levees are now being rebuilt with government contractors supplemented by the day laborers standing in front of the new makeshift Taco Stand at the Home Depot.

It would appear we still haven't learned our lesson, or obviously those in Washington value their political careers much more than actually performing their Constitutional function and protecting Americans property and lives through basic "common defense" procedures - making sure our borders are both physically secured, and monitored. Those Senators and Congressmen whom are drawing their salaries from the public "American citizen" purse and who have their security systems (at the ranch and Georgetown) to protect them and paid for at taxpayer expenses, some with even secret service agents, unfortunately have forgotten that they themselves are to be their fellow American citizens security systems, since 'common defense' purposes was why the federal government was formulated by the founders and framers to begin with.

With another amnesty without secure border security and protection, the situation will continue to worse and there will be no discernible borders at all, which appears to be the agenda. The politicians siding with Big Business for their 'corporate' gain have forgotten their true purpose.

The most hypocritical aspect of all this is that the border states, and all the states, have a remedy. All that is necessary is for the several state legislatures, including Arizona, to pass an Act of their own mandating that the Governor(s) and Attorney General file a "class action" suit for the sums for the needed border security and fencing as a "breach of contract" action under our U.S. Constitution. But appears, again, self-serving politicians, partisan politics, and pandering are preventing even that clear legal remedy from happening.

Isn't seven years after 9/11 long enough? What will be the excuse and scapegoat for the next internal attack in this country by foreigners, and then how many more American citizen's rights will again go down the tubes due to the federal government's negligence in this vital area? Don't we have NASA available to get at least our southern border secured (since it is much easier for any Middle Eastern, South American, or any other terrorist to hide in a border state). As far as these two candidates and their assessments of the educational systems in this country with respect to science and technology, I hope that they do not take the main stream media's propaganda either for anything other than what it is. A great many of those boomers watched this country put a man on the moon, and aren't buying the political garbage with respect to both the lack of ability to get our borders secured, nor find alternative forms of energy. NASA is available, and most likely could have hydrogen cars also up and running within a year, along with virtual fencing of our southern and northern borders, and probably less than the mounting costs of the unconstitutional "War on Terror" now somehow still going on in Iraq, even absent the will of the people.

The terrorism on our homefront continues unabated, every single day of the lives of those now living in the border states who are in the front lines of this true War on Terror and War on Drugs. And unless you want it to escalate there in Kansas, Americans, the true national security threat is not now Iraq, Iran or even Afghanistan.

No matter how many times Senator McCain sings "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" or how many propaganda messages are broadcast on Faux or CNN showing Iran's one missle of mass destruction pointed at Israel, that potential threat is nowhere near as potentially devastating to both America, and our way of life. And hope to see both he and Senator Obama don their flack jackets for their trip to Tucson for the briefing.
