Who Made the Decision NOT to Defend the Borders of the US???

(This Post First Ran in April of 2006)

At which level of the US government was the decision not to defend our Southern Border with Mexico made? For, it is certain someone, at some level in the United States Government, made that decision... and it is someone with the authority to see that it is carried out!

We desperately need to find that person and see that he, or she, is rendered unemployed at the earliest possible moment.

If a nation cannot, or will not, control it’s borders, and the comings and goings of persons across that border, then that government is not doing it’s duty to the citizens of that nation. That’s where we are in the US today.

I want to hear a “Presidential Candidate” say: "If elected, I will seal the southern border with Mexico and I will see that the entire Canadian border is patrolled so thoroughly that not even a field mouse can cross without being caught”.

That candidate will have my vote.

There is no excuse for not controlling our borders. None! It is a shame, and a disgrace, that private citizens of this country have to go to the borders and do the job the Federal Government is supposed to be doing. Eventually tempers will flare and there will be violence on the border. It can be avoided… if the government would only do its job!

Thousands of illegal immigrants from countries, which sponsor terrorism, come across that border each year. Thousands! Who knows what their intent towards this country is? Who can say whether or not they have smuggled devastating explosive devises across the border and have them secreted in one or more of our major cities?

If you think I sound as thought I’m paranoid, well consider this: When everybody IS out to get you, paranoia is just darned good thinking!

Any government’s first priority is the safety of it’s citizens. Someone in Washington, DC, should be made to understand this. They are shirking their duty.

Sooner, or later, there will be permanent Citizen Border Guards on our borders. A type of “Home Guard” if you please. If that’s what it takes, then so be it.
