71% Believe Illegal Aliens Pose Threat to U.S.
Susquehanna Polling and Research recently conducted a national poll that indicated 71% of Americans interviewed felt that illegal immigration poses a threat to our homeland. 31% of those people believe that the threat it poses comprises terrorism.
The head of Texas Homeland Security, Steve McCraw, agrees. He feels that the concern is appropriate, especially where the Mexican border is concerned. He points out that, "Mexican organized crime is motivated by money, and they do not vet paying customers."
President Bush, in a far less than adequate attempt to bolster border security has proposed throwing $5.6 billion dollars at the problem. Incredibly, congress want to water down his proposal!
The poll also indicates that only 39% of the people surveyed believe that a national identification card would be helpful. Hopefully, this indicates that the majority of the people understand the roll of the State governments versus the Federal Government, and that a national ID card is contrary to letter and spirit of our federal constitution, and the intentions of our founding fathers.
Our current politicians, who have devolved into something that does not even slightly resemble our founding fathers, must wake up and listen to the people. We know who the enemy is, and we know where the battle line must be drawn. We are brave enough, and dedicated enough to man that battle line. Now, all we need is politicians who are brave enough and dedicated enough also.
