My commentary for FrontPage Magazine today focuses on statements recently made by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie about how he would deal with the estimated 40% of illegal aliens who are present in the United States but did not enter our country in violation of law by evading the inspections process but actually entered the United States via the legal process and then, in one way or another, went on to violate the terms of their respective admissions. I am pleased that he has decided to discuss this huge problem that has serious national security implications.
Christie has suggested that Fed-Ex, which has an established reputation for effectively keeping track of packages, be tasked with similarly keeping track of millions of nonimmigrant aliens who enter our country under a variety of visas, to make certain that they leave the United States when they are supposed to.
You may, however, be greatly surprised to know that tracking nonimmigrant visitors is not a new concept. It was, in fact, a requirement of immigration reform legislation enacted in 1996 and was mandated by the 9/11 Commission. Additionally, although many believe that the private sector is far more efficient than the government in meeting goals, past experiences I discuss in my article provides a cautionary message about this mistaken belief as well.
On September 3, 2015 FrontPage Magazine published my latest commentary:
Keeping Track of Visa Violators
The overlooked source of the nation’s illegal immigration problems that people are finally talking about.
September 3, 2015 Michael Cutler
It took Donald Trump to raise the issue of immigration in the first place and now other presidential candidates are either trying to sidestep the immigration crisis altogether or attempting to come up with their own way of promising to deal with the immigration crisis.
That the issue is now a major factor in this election is a positive development- immigration is a major factor of nearly every challenge and threat America and Americans face in this turbulent and perilous era.
While the border that is supposed to separate the United States from Mexico must be made secure, there are many other components to the immigration system that are no less important.
The issue of visa violators is another of those “holes” in the bottom of the “Immigration Colander.”
Theft By Deception: The Immigration Con Game » How politicians are robbing citizens of access to the American Dream.”
On July 2, 2013 the Washington Times published my Op-Ed:
Who will find the answers while there’s still time to prevent a disaster?
On June 13, 2013 I was interviewed by Neil Cavuto at Fox News on the topic:
The interview ran about 4 minutes and is worth watching.
On April 4, 2014, CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my commentary that asks the questions all Americans need to ask their political “representatives.” My commentary is aptly titled: “How? Why?”
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.
American Lives Matter!
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!
