| The current proposed Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation brings out intense emotions in many people. Recent reports have Hugo Chavez sponsoring the training of Islamic Radicals on nearby islands; including a fleuency in Spanish, and how to blend into latin american communities in the "host" countries, and more particular, the United States. How can we go about ensuring that only individuals who are trying to better their lives, and those of their children, are given a path to citizenship, while at the safe time ferreting out any potential terrorist "sleeper cells"?
Is there a truely effective measure the US CIS employ to "weed" out the potential bad guys?
There is a great deal of argument on the "touch back" element of the current legislation, and precisely the percentage of illegals residing in the United States who would comply with that provision of the legislation. What process can DHS, ICE and CIS employ to ensure we don't have terrorists in our midst, that also the ACLU, La Raza, and LULAC will swallow without unending litigation?
Or; and even more dramtically; if a WMD strike takes place in the United States that is even remotely hinted at having crossed the US/Mexico border, and the consequent knee-jerk reaction of actually sealing the border, what sort of backlash can be expected in light of NAFTA and our other latin american trade agreements? |
