Illegal Immigration linked to Terrorism

It is a terrible tragedy when innocent people lose their lives to barbarians like radical Islamic terrorists. From the New York attacks, the Madrid attacks, and today's London attacks terrorism is affecting our world more and more. The greater tragedy is that not a single world leader, or anyone in the governments of Western nations are doing anything to protect national borders.

The outrage in America is President Bush's absolute refusal to protect our border with Mexico. President Fox of Mexico was in Scotland with the G8 Summit where the most important issue to the citizens of these powerful nations (I was not aware Mexico had become a powerful nation) is the security of our homes, communities, and primarily our borders!

When the Minutemen Project began in Arizona along the U.S.-Mexico border, President Bush called his fellow American's vigilantes. Technically speaking these citizens were vigilantes by definition of the word... But George made it sound like they should be punished for doing what Washington D.C. refuses to do. However, just today Bush made a public statement to all Americans to remain "vigilant" into he face of terror. Hypocrisy? Memory loss? A new speech writer? President Bush has back tracked his own words to the point of tripping over himself.

I feel terrible for the families of Londoners who lost a loved one to the "particularly barbaric" attacks, as Tony Blair phrased it. In a country with near 65 million residents, they have a much higher percentage of Muslim citizens, many of whom publicly protest the nation they live in.

Border security is as important in all European nations as it is America. But somehow, the mind boggling reality persists month after month... While politicians in Washington sit on their rear ends the people are left defenseless, ostracize for their patriotism and left to do the work of a government. The business of defending a nation has been left to its people while politicians pork barrel and raise taxes along with their own salaries.

I'm an American citizen, and I demand my government act.
