The War For Our Mind & Soul Continues
Subject: Why The Trump Wall Must Be Built
My
most recent commentary for CAPS (Californians for Population
Stabilization) focuses on the absolute need for the construction of a
wall and the measures needed address the massive failures of border
security that undermine America’s national security and public safety.
Of course many other enhancements must be made to achieve the vital
goal of effective enforcement and administration of our nation’s
immigration laws. Ironically, I wrote the article several days ago and
on January 25, 2017, the day CAPS published my article President Donald
Trump issued two executive orders concerning immigration including the
order that established the construction of that wall.
President
Trump also called for tripling the number of ICE (Immigration and
Customs Enforcement) agents, hiring more Border Patrol agents and
making it clear that he stands with the efforts of the employees of the
DHS to enforce our nation’s immigration laws, keeping promises that were
key to his successful campaign for the presidency.
Tactics
of intimidation are the stock and trade of the open borders anarchists.
Anyone who would dare suggest that our government must exercise
caution in admitting aliens into the United States to protect the safety
and security of America and Americans are quickly branded “racist” and
“nativist.” Their objective is to shut down debate and discourse- the
hallmarks of true democracies.
Americans
must be willing to stand their ground and not be intimidated by the
false accusations- far too much hangs in the balance!
On
Inauguration Day (Jan. 20), the day before and the day after,
protestors who opposed Donald Trump’s election as the 45th U.S.
President and his campaign promises, particularly his promise to build a
wall, took to the streets. Among their hand-held signs, some read,
“Build bridges, not walls,” a slogan that demonstrates how naive and
ill-informed the protesters are. Also on...

January 25, 2017
On Inauguration Day (Jan. 20), the day before and the day after, protestors who opposed Donald Trump’s election as the 45th U.S.
President and his campaign promises, particularly his promise to build a
wall, took to the streets. Among their hand-held signs, some read,
“Build bridges, not walls,” a slogan that demonstrates how naive and
ill-informed the protesters are.
Also
on Jan. 20, the Department of Justice issued a press release that
heralded the extradition to the United States of the leader of the
Sinaloa Drug Cartel and of arguably the world’s most violent drug
dealer.
The press release, “Joaquin
‘El Chapo’ Guzman Loera Faces Charges in New York for Leading a
Continuing Criminal Enterprise and other Drug-Related Charges,”
painted a clear image of the magnitude of the drug trafficking crimes,
including crimes of extreme violence for which he has been indicted.
The press release contains links to the Detention Memo and the Indictment, and begins with these two paragraphs:
“The
indictment alleges that between January 1989 and December 2014, Guzman
Loera led a continuing criminal enterprise responsible for importing
into the United States and distributing massive amounts of illegal
narcotics and conspiring to murder persons who posed a threat to Guzman
Loera’s narcotics enterprise.
“Guzman
Loera is also charged with using firearms in relation to his drug
trafficking and money laundering relating to the bulk smuggling from the
United States to Mexico of more than $14 billion in cash proceeds from
narcotics sales throughout the United States and Canada. As part of this
investigation, nearly 200,000 kilograms of cocaine linked to the
Sinaloa Cartel have been seized. The indictment seeks forfeiture of more
than $14 billion in drug proceeds and illicit profits.”
<<...>>
In order to be successful in their drug trafficking crimes, the Sinaloa Cartel obviously needed to cross the border that is supposed to
separate the U.S. from Mexico, not only to move mega-tonnage of heroin,
cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana into the U.S., but also the
employees of the cartel that include “enforcers,” thugs who, on orders
from their Cartel bosses, kill, kidnap and torture those who get in the
way.
These criminals, almost invariably, were aliens who entered the U.S. illegally. It is alleged that in Mexico the Sinaloa Cartel was responsible for the murder of thousands of individuals, many of whom were beheaded to further intimidate those who posed a threat to the cartel.
These criminals, almost invariably, were aliens who entered the U.S. illegally. It is alleged that in Mexico the Sinaloa Cartel was responsible for the murder of thousands of individuals, many of whom were beheaded to further intimidate those who posed a threat to the cartel.
However the violence was not limited to Mexico.
The
press release noted that this investigation was conducted by courageous
law enforcement officers in Colombia, Mexico, the U.S. and elsewhere.
In the U.S., the investigation was pursued by the multi-agency Organized
Crime, Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) that includes agents of the
DEA, FBI, ICE and ATF, as well as members of local and state police
departments.
Having
spent the final ten years of my career with the INS assigned to OCDETF,
I am extremely familiar with the effectiveness of the multiagency task
force approach to the investigation and dismantling of large-scale
narcotics trafficking organizations. They are critical to border
security and effective enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws.
The
extradition and prosecution of El Chapo and others are major U.S. law
enforcement achievements made in cooperation with the valiant law
enforcement officers of Mexico and Colombia. But, the “War on Drugs”
continues.
Nevertheless, when Donald Trump campaigned to build a wall to secure the border that is supposed to
separate the United States from Mexico to prevent criminals, terrorists
and drugs from entering the country, the globalists, aided and abetted
by dishonest journalists, created the false narrative equating Trump’s
goals and the goals of Americans who demand that our borders be secured
against illegal entry with racism.
The provisions of Title 8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens guides
CBP inspectors at ports of entry in making determinations as to the
admissibility of aliens seeking entry into the U.S. These determinations
have nothing to do with race, religion or ethnicity.
Jimmy Carter created
the term “undocumented immigrant” to describe illegal aliens. Over
time, that Orwellian tactic has come to enable immigration anarchists to
con many Americans into believing that deporting illegal aliens
actually refers to deporting all “immigrants” when nothing could be
further from the truth.
Securing our borders against illegal entry is not to be equated with preventing all aliens from entering the U.S., only those aliens who violate our laws.
As
I noted when I testified at a Congressional hearing several years ago, a
country without secure borders can no more stand than can a house
******************************
Comprehensive
Immigration Reform violates all of the findings and recommendations of
the 9/11 Commission but no one is willing to even consider how the lack
of real border security and the lack of real integrity to the various
components of the immigration system imperil national security and
public safety.
Immigration is not a single issue but a singular issue
that impacts nearly every challenge and threat confronting the United
States today! Simply stated, the immigration laws were enacted to save
lives and protect the jobs of American workers.
It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American!"
To
provide a bit of clarity, the difference between an illegal alien and a
lawful immigrant is comparable to the difference between a burglar and a
houseguest.
Our
armed forces are charged with securing America’s borders externally
while the DHS is supposed to secure those same borders from within. The
failures of the DHS to live up to its half of the equation are
undermining the efforts, valor and incredible sacrifices of Americas men
and women who serve in our military!
If
our government's failures to protect American jobs by securing our
nation's borders and effectively enforcing our immigration laws concerns
you or especially if it angers you, I ask you to call your Senators and
Congressional "Representative. This is not only your right- it is your
obligation!
All I ask is that you make it clear to our politicians that we are not as dumb as they hope we are!
We live in a perilous world and in a perilous era. The survival of our nation and the lives of our citizens hang in the balance.
This is neither a Conservative issue, nor is it a Liberal issue- simply stated, this is most certainly an AMERICAN issue!
You are either part of the solution or you are a part of the problem!
Democracy is not a spectator sport!
Lead, follow or get out of the way!
