Who is the threat....

A few years back, El Paso was having a large crime problem. Illegal aliens were coming across and causing all kinds of problems for the local area. There was a Border Patrol Chief who figured out how to solve the problem, in short, he assigned Patrol Agents an X on a map in the problem areas and in a short time the crime rate in El Paso dropped significantly. Now this is an oversimplified and short version of the events, but they are accurate. (By the way, the Chief is now in Congress) If these are the kinds of problems the minutemen and all the others are trying to prevent by the sensationalist type of media coverage, I guess that is OK. In reality, if BP was given the resources and say if the Customs Patrol was brought out of mothballs, it could be done. BUT....

If the reason for all the fuss and muss is terrorism, stop looking at the "brown horde" (derogatory term for the masses of illegal aliens that come from Mexico that has been used for years) that seems to worry so many and go way north. The threat from Canada is much greater, anyone who has any knowledge of terrorism will concur. It is wrong to use the terrorist threat as an excuse to mask the real threat. If Congress wants to stop illegal immigration, all it has to do is give clear, strong direction and provide the resources. On the other hand, if they want to stop terrorists at the borders, they might have to ruffle some feathers from those coming from the north. Those who are much more likely to complain about long lines and questions before being allowed entry into the US and I don't mean the "brown horde".
