Our Borders Are Not Secure

WASHINGTON, May 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- President Bush’s so- called “plan” to close the border between the United States and Mexico is nothing but a great American Scam. First of all putting 6,000 troops on the border sounds good, but these troops will not be allowed to patrol the border, to watch for Illegal Aliens, to arrest Illegal Aliens or to report Illegal Aliens.

This so-called “plan” is a lot of noise which in reality means nothing is being done. The Department of Homeland Security has said that sending 6,000 troops to the border will free up only about 500 border guards.

Mike Huckabee, the Governor of Arkansas agreed that the current plan does not secure our borders. Talking about the President’s latest plan Huckabee said, “We are going to have to close our borders at sometime in the future.” Why not now?

As you may remember there is an approved plan to add about 2,000 border guards each year which has never been put into effect. The new Senate Bill, approved yesterday, now does not even MENTION the idea of going after EMPLOYERS who hire Illegal Aliens.

“When will America wake up to the fact that our elected officials in Washington DC are only concerned about how to get re-elected,” said Don Swarthout, President of Christians Reviving America’s Values. “America is being sold out by our elected officials. Why don’t they do their job and protect the citizens of America,” Swarthout said.

Watching the pro-immigration marches and we saw thousands of people waving the Mexican Flag, we saw them holding up signs which read TODAY WE MARCH, TOMORROW WE VOTE, we heard people chanting “Hell no, we won’t go,” and we saw signs which read, WE DIDN’T CROSS THE BORDER, THE BORDER CROSSED US.

This should give us some idea about the fact that Illegal Aliens believe they have a right to be here.

“When will America wake up to the fact that our nation is being invaded by Illegal Aliens and that our nation is being stolen from us... right from under our noses,” Swarthout said.
