Media appearances for Friday, August 22nd beginning at 11:25, AM, Eastern Time

Hi Gang:
Happy Friday!
Today, Friday, August 22nd, I will be a guest on a television news program (America’s Forum- hosted by JD Hayworth) we be a guest on Chuck Wilder’s show, “Talk Back” and will be hosting my radio program “The Michael Cutler Hour.”

First, at 11:25 AM, Eastern Daylight Saving Time, I will be appearing on the television news program, “America’s Forum” hosted by JD Hayworth on NewsMax Television to discuss the national security implications of the ongoing immigration crisis along the US/Mexican border and throughout the entire immigration system that have been created by the refusal of the administration to enforce our immigration laws and, indeed, establish policies that reward violations of America’s borders and America’s immigration laws.  
These failures have serious consequences for all Americans in every state.  On Thursday, August 21, 2014 the Houston Chronicle published this disturbing report that quoted Texas Governor Rick Perry:
There is a clear nexus between border security and national security.  Furthermore, the 9/11 Commission made it clear that failures in border security including the process by which visas are issued, and other failures of the immigration system have enabled terrorists to enter the United States, embed themselves and go about their deadly preparations.

With JD Hayworth

To provide a bit of background- JD was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives when, in November 2001, I accepted an invitation from then Congressman Tom Tancredo to provide testimony to the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus which Tom chaired at the time.  The topic for the hearing was the failures of the immigration system that enabled the 9/11 Terrorists to enter the United States and embed themselves in the United States as they went about their deadly preparations.  JD was a member of that caucus and he attended that hearing.  It is always great joining him on his television program on NewsMax-TV.

At 4:00 PM, Eastern Daylight Saving Time I will be a guest on Chuck Wilder’s excellent program, “Talk Back.”

Finally, at 7:00 PM, Eastern Time I will be hosting my radio show,  “The Michael Cutler Hour.”
The immigration crisis has emerged as a leading news story since the reports of tens of thousands of illegal aliens, primarily from Central America have been swarming across the southwest border of the United States and overwhelming already beleaguered Border Patrol agents.  The ripples of this massive influx have rippled across the United States and impacted towns and cities around the United States and have also stretched the very limited resources of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and other agencies to the breaking point.

What is seldom noted is that our immigration system has been overwhelmed for years and America and Americans have been bearing the brunt of this meltdown.

Please pass this e-mail along to as many folks as possible and ask them to do the same- I am attempting to create a “Bucket Brigade of Truth!”

The starting point for any discussion about immigration must be the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission.  

Last week marked the publication of the 9/11 Commission Report.

Yet there are precious few members of Congress in either the House of Representatives or the United States Senate from either party willing to even mention the fact that there was a 9/11 Commission- when the topic of immigration is raised!

Here are a couple of important quotes to put things in proper perspective:

The first paragraph of the preface of the The 9/11 Commission Staff Report on Terrorist Travel  begins with the following statement:

It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United

States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were

efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border

security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers

demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the

United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security

policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made

one.

The 9/11 Commission Staff Report on Terrorist travel went on to detail numerous examples of instances where terrorists not only made use of visa and immigration benefit fraud to enter the United States but to also embed themselves in the United States. Page 47 of this report noted:

Once terrorists had entered the United States, their next challenge was to find a way to remain here. Their primary method was immigration fraud. For example, Yousef and Ajaj concocted bogus political asylum stories when they arrived in the United States. Mahmoud Abouhalima, involved in both the World Trade Center and landmarks plots, received temporary residence under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW) program, after falsely claiming that he picked beans in Florida.

This paragraph is found on page 98 under the title “Immigration Benefits:”

Terrorists in the 1990s, as well as the September 11 hijackers, needed to find a way to stay in or embed themselves in the United States if their operational plans were to come to fruition. As already discussed, this could be accomplished legally by marrying an American citizen, achieving temporary worker status, or applying for asylum after entering. In many cases, the act of filing for an immigration benefit sufficed to permit the alien to remain in the country until the petition was adjudicated. Terrorists were free to conduct surveillance, coordinate operations, obtain and receive funding, go to school and learn English, make contacts in the United States, acquire necessary materials, and execute an attack.

We must take the impact and implications of the immigration crisis for the United States and all Americans, in towns and cities across the United States as I noted in my recent commentary for CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization):

Immigration Meltdown: The Far-Ranging Consequences for America

On July 15, 2014 I was a guest on the Fox Business Network program, “Lou Dobbs Tonight.”  The segment in which I was interviewed by Lou was given the title:
On May 22, 2014 CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my commentary:

On June 11, 2014 FrontPage Magazine posted my article:

I hope you will be listening.

On June 13, 2013 I was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on the topic:

The interview runs about 4 minutes and is worth watching.

The importance of our borders and our immigration laws cannot be overemphasized.  In the war on terror and transnational gangs, they are our first line of defense and our last line of defense. They are equally important to American workers who are facing unfair competition from foreign workers, aided and abetted by the administration and advocates for “Sanctuary Cities” and Comprehensive Immigration Reform,
In his historic speech before the 3rd Army on May 31, 1944, General George S. Patton said, on the strategy of holding a position:

We’re not holding anything, we’ll let the Hun do that. We are advancing constantly, and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy.”

Pushing back against Comprehensive Immigration Reform is the same as holding position. The time has come for us to advance by demanding that our borders be made truly secure and our immigration laws be effectively administered and enforced.

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.

The findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission must be the starting point for any discussion about immigration legislation.  That commission determined that a lack of border security, including the visa process. and fraud in the immigration benefits program, enabled terrorists to enter and embed themselves in the United States, as they went about their deadly preparations.

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.  In point of fact, our borders and our immigration laws are America’s first line of defense and last line of defense against international terrorists and transnational criminals.
It is not “Anti-Immigrant” to be “Pro-American!”

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!
