Draft Dodgers, Immigration--The Latest, Security-Borders-Illegal Aliens-Other Stakeholder Groups, Bill of Rights
Draft Dodgers -- Paul Martin
PM Martin seems to be making noises as though he thinks it is perfectly acceptable to allow American draft dodgers to remain in Canada -- unless I was only half listening and got this wrong. Check.
May I suggest an updated motto for Canada?
Bring us your draft dodgers, your welfare cheats, your violent thugs, your drug dispensers, your gambling experts, your killers, your terrorists, your -- whatever. Our diversity and inclusiveness know no bounds.
A VETERAN Toronto cop blasted Canada's immigration system yesterday after the weekend arrest of a twice-deported career criminal. "To me, the fact this guy should have been deported from this country a long time ago says a lot," Det.-Sgt. Wilf Townley said. "This isn't the only (case). There's lots of other ones.
"They should be getting rid of these people. How does somebody get out on a bond who's committed 27 criminal offences in this country?"
[. . . . ] Charged with 37 robbery and firearms offences are Junior Clive Francis, 45, Gregory Antonio Ambursley, 32, and Orthniel Moriano McLeary, 32, all of Toronto. [. . . . ]
And they immigrated from ???
Link and find out what Rejean Cantlon, of Canada Border Services Agency has to say.
I venture to say he is livid -- as am I and a growing number of Canadians. Speaking out is likely a career-ending move. Think of Police Chief Julian Fantino of Toronto whose contract was not renewed, I suspect because he spoke truth and certain groups didn't like it.
Coming geopolitical quakes -- Paul Martin and his government must take cognizance of this.
The failure to interdict northern trespassers is particularly worrisome, since Canada is a proven springboard for terrorists. Ahmed Ressam, the Algerian caught at the Canadian border with 100 pounds of explosives destined for the Los Angeles airport in December 1999, ran an al Qaeda cell in Montreal, despite having previously been ordered deported by the Canadian government. Two of the seven most wanted al Qaeda members are naturalized Canadians.

[. . . . "] Nothing compromises our domestic defense against Islamic terrorism more than our failure to control who enters the country.
The alien-smuggling trade is the "sea in which terrorists swim," explains David Cohen, the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence and an ex-CIA expert on al Qaeda.
Yet fear of offending the race and rights lobbies has trumped national security at DHS. This spring, for example, Asa Hutchinson — the department's undersecretary for Border and Transportation Security and now a contender for the top job — shut down a successful border-patrol initiative to catch illegal aliens.

The world can now count on one geopolitical earthquake every 10 years. Between 1985 and 1995, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall, the implosion of the Soviet Union, the collapse of communist parties the world over, and America's emergence as the world's only superpower.
Between 1995 and 2005, it was the September 11, 2001, attacks against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that triggered a war on, and the defeat of, Afghanistan's despotic Taliban regime followed by a war on, and the defeat of, Saddam Hussein's bloody tyranny. So between 2005 and 2015, what's on the global menu?

If time is short, do a search for this paragraph and read the list below it:
One all-too-realistic geopolitical nightmare was a weapon of mass destruction terrorist attack on the U.S. West Coast. A nuclear device detonates in a container ship about to enter Long Beach, Calif. News had just broken about pollution of the U.S. food supply, most analysts assumed by transnational terrorism. The U.S. can prevail conventionally anywhere but seems helpless in coping with asymmetrical warfare. [. . . . ]
Don't forget the list.
More Border Patrol, but no money -- Congress approves biggest guard buildup ever
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Congress has quietly approved the biggest build-up of Border Patrol agents in the history of the nation – but allocated no money to fund the positions.
While much of the nation's attention was focused on the intelligence-reform bill and whether it would include provisions to forbid illegal aliens from getting driver's licenses, both houses approved legislation that would nearly double the size of the border-guard positions over the next five years. [. . . . ]
It may be that every American "knows" the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us a Bill of Rights as a guarantor of various liberties, and this belief may be so deeply ingrained in the national psyche that virtually every famous political actor in the country has attested to the framers' wisdom in their crafting of the great bill, but the plain, historical and undeniable fact of the matter is the framers overwhelmingly rejected any notion of a bill of rights. When the proposal was put forth during the Constitutional Convention, only two men of 55 spoke in favor of the measure, and the state delegations rejected the idea unanimously. [. . . . ]
