... on the illegal immigration issue.
- Professor Jan C. Ting, Former Assistant Commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services, is a Senior Fellow of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, and a professor of Law at Temple University Beasley School of Law.
“…even as we fret about trying to protect our ports, power supply, mass transit and every other possible target against every conceivable terrorist threat at any time 24/7, it is supremely ironic that four years after 9/11 our national borders remain open and uncontrolled, and our government seems unconcerned.
The simple reality is that tonight, four years after 9/11, and every night of the year, thousands of foreigners covertly enter the United States, and we have no idea who they are.
Every night. Thousands. Who are they?”
Can it possibly be true that ... there’s nothing we can do to stop people from walking across our borders into the United States? I think there’s plenty that we could do if only we had the political will to do so. And I think it’s remarkable that four years after 9/11 we still don’t have the political will to do so. Are we not capable of building a fence like the one the Israelis have found effective in preventing terrorists from entering Israel?"
