Anarchy on Our Borders!
The following is adopted from a speech delivered at a Hillsdale College seminar in Rancho Mirage, Calif., on Feb. 18, 2003 by Michelle Malkin author of "Invasion.""In the aftermath of September 11, many advocates of unrestricted immigration on both the left and the right remain stuck in a pre-war mentality. They continue to argue that there is no connection between controlling illegal immigration and protecting national security. This unrepentant "open borders" crowd ranges from liberal Democrats Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt, to the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page and certain Bush administration officials. They consider it "scapegoating" to link lax immigration enforcement to September 11, and hold to the fatally flawed belief that we can allow millions of "good" illegal immigrants to stream across the borders while retaining the ability to screen out "bad" illegal immigrants who are seeking to destroy us."
