Smoke and Mirrors....

While the media is focused on Arizona and the people trying to do Border Patrol's job, what is being glossed over is the trial of Ahmed Ressam. He is the terrorist that was stopped by U.S. Customs attempting to bring in explosives through Port Angeles, WA. Believe it or not, he wasn't trying to sneak in through the Southern border. Illegal aliens from countries that have harbored, trained, or produced terrorists are caught try to enter the Northern border almost daily. To compare those coming over to work in the fields or some other type of manual labor with the terrorist threat would be almost humorous if it wasn't so ignorant. To fail to distinguish between the two is disingenuous.

What you will find when examining the illegal aliens coming from Mexico is that most of them come over and work and then return home. Of the millions caught every year, how many have been caught and returned to Mexico only to be caught trying to come over again? Most of them. The same cannot be said for those coming across the border from Canada.

Wait for the smoke to clear, break a few mirrors and see where the greater threat lies.
