Conservatives and all who hold America dear are distraught and bewildered as the Congress determinedly prepares to betray them by granting amnesty to perhaps twenty million illegal aliens. Despite contention by the media that Americans were overwhelmingly reacting to the Iraq War in last year’s elections, the voting shift resulted chiefly from a general disenchantment with the political class and its indifference to such crucial issues as national sovereignty.
Some have expressed surprise that the promised border fence, which would constitute only the tiniest first step towards actually dealing with the problem, is no longer even a consideration. Worse yet, any token past measures to enforce the border are more blatantly affronted and undermined by the new Senate amnesty bill.

As Americans remember the horror of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington more than five years ago, the US borders are practically as porous as ever. Yet Americans get few answers during the heated debate. What many hear are abstractions about tightening border security with no mention of how that is to be achieved.
According to testimony given to the US House of Representatives Armed Services Committee by General Peter Pace, then Vice Chairman, now Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Hamas has joined Hezbollah and Al Qaeda in the Triple Frontier Zone in Latin America where the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay converge.
There the Islamic terror groups train recruits, gather intelligence on targets, launder money and sell drugs. There is evidence that these terrorists and narco-terrorists will soon migrate north into the United States. He cited terrorism reports indicating terrorist groups are active in Canada and Central-South America.

The law of the jungle is so hard to break, When death walks behind you with each step you take…
- Gary Moore, guitarist and songwriter of Thin Lizzy fame
Some readers may remember that during the 'Seventies and 'Eighties it was a fairly regular occurrence to hear media reports of Israeli intelligence (Mossad) agents kicking in the doors of a fleabag flat, hotel room or safe house in some obscure (or sometimes not-so-obscure) European city and introducing the head of a known terrorist hiding there to around half a dozen or so large-caliber lead projectiles.
Israel's government never offered any denials nor apologies about doing so. They located a threat to their national security, so their operatives clandestinely gained entry to the necessary country, made contact, and terminated the target with extreme prejudice. Of course there was also their awesome attack on Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactors when he attempted to do what we've blithely let Iran get away with.

On August 23, 2005, Christian broadcaster and one-time presidential hopeful Pat Robertson called for United States intelligence operatives to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling him "a terrific danger" bent on exporting Communism and Islamic extremism across the Americas. This was all true; Chavez, who has also made no secret of his desire to trade in nuclear technology with Iran, routinely made accusations that the U.S. was trying to kill him or planned to do so.
"If he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it," Robertson on a broadcast of "The 700 Club" on August 22, 2005. "It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."
Hard to find an argument there — but I digress.
Our invertebrate State Department called Robertson's comments "inappropriate"; Robertson was later compelled to publicly apologize for his statements.
On October 17, 2006, the House Committee on Homeland Security Sub-committee on Investigations released a lengthy report entitled: A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border. Citing numerous thoroughly-investigated confrontations between Border Patrol agents and Mexican drug gangs, and other border-focused nefarious activity, two (of many) menacing facts which surfaced included:
- Our border Patrol is significantly outgunned by "soldiers" of Mexican drug cartels operating on the border.
- Individuals from terrorist-sponsoring nations have been freely using this porous border to infiltrate the United States. A program initiated by Venezuela's proto-human dictator Hugo Chavez trains visitors from terrorist-sponsoring Middle Eastern and Asian nations to speak Spanish and "pose as Latinos" as they enter the U.S., equipped with Venezuelan passports.
We are at war with an enemy that flies no flag and has no borders. This fact has redefined modern warfare and has been the boilerplate argument for the American Left: "There's no war unless Congress declares it." This is like saying no rape occurred because the victim wouldn't admit it.
