Homeland Insecurity
How did it happen? How did the United States of America, bastion of exceptionalism, exempt from the curse of history, blessedly free of the atavistic hatreds of the old worldhow did it become the scene of one of the most hideously bedeviled conflicts of all time? -- Quite simply, it happened because America lost its grasp of its own historic character, and embraced "diversity" as a national goal. In the name of equality and nondiscrimination we invited mass immigration from every part of the globe, and made no demands on the newcomers to become Americans.

Welcoming new terrorists every day
Attorney General John Ashcroft should be congratulated for detaining 700 terrorist suspects including at least 10 linked to al Qaeda, bin Laden's terror network. -- But just as we round up some, more terrorists are entering America each day - part of a Washington bureaucratic oversight which may well border on negligence, or worse. -- First, we should understand that the 19 suicide terrorists who destroyed the Trade Center were not immigrants to the Unites States, people who are thoroughly checked. No, most came here on the State Department's over- liberal visa program...

U.S. Congress debates how to create secure, open border

Border card issue is still up in the air
The controversy over issuing new border crossing cards, the lack of which has cost border retailers millions of dollars because fewer Mexicans can travel back and forth, won't be resolved anytime soon. A bill that would allow millions of Mexicans to use their old cards until next Sept. 30 is languishing in the Senate. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., introduced the bill last month. If passed, it would be the third time Congress has moved back the deadline for using the old cards.
