1. Europe's Mujahideen
Where Mass Immigration Meets Global Terrorism
By Robert S. Leiken
Center for Immigration Studies Backgrounder, April 2005

EXCERPT: Immigration and terrorism are independent social phenomena stemming from dissimilar causes and with radically different objectives. To explore the relationship between the two will raise academic eyebrows and generate the usual accusations. But if we want to connect the dots, we can hardly do less. The two phenomena have grown spectacularly in the past several decades, becoming mass immigration and global terrorism. And they converge in Western Europe. . . .

2. Harvesting Illegals

EXCERPT: More than 1,500 of our soldiers in Iraq have given their lives to ensure America�s safety. An emergency military spending bill to keep their comrades supplied with bullets and gasoline passed the House of Representatives last month with the addition of several important domestic security measures, including national standards for state driver�s licenses.

The Senate will debate the bill next week, and is considering an addition of its own: amnesty for illegal aliens.
. . .
The irony is exquisite. The same measure that would enable our soldiers to defend the borders of a newly free Iraq would also undermine our own borders. Mahmoud the Red is laughing from his prison cell.

Feds' border action not nearly enough
The Department of Homeland Security has announced it will send more than 500 additional Border Patrol agents to Arizona this year to help stop the endless flow of illegal aliens from entering the United States. Most of these additional agents are, however, simply being transferred from other border states, at a time when we should be hiring as many new agents as possible.
