Schlafly: Government has failed in its job to protect Americans

This one says everything about everything right now when it comes to the government's number one job of protecting Americans...it's failing.

IBD: Americans against amnesty are not only worried about unemployed Mexicans crossing our southern border illegally to take U.S. jobs.

More than ever, we need the fence that Congress voted for and President George W. Bush made a television photo event when he signed it into law.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said that at least 10 ISIS thugs have crossed our southern border. Hunter added, if we caught 10, "you know there are going to be dozens more that did not get caught by the Border Patrol."

Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., says the Islamic State, ISIS, is actively working with Mexican drug cartels to infiltrate and eventually attack Americans.

ISIS has told us it wants to extend a caliphate over America, so why is anybody surprised that they are doing what they said they wanted to do?

The problem of invasion across our border is no longer just a jobs problem. It's a national security problem, a welfare problem, a public school problem and a dangerous disease problem.

From the additional stresses and burdens on our educational institutions to the transmission of new diseases to our children such as EV-D68; from just one African with the infectious Ebola disease to health care personnel who never went Africa, not to mention the thousands of U.S. troops sent to Liberia. What about the dangers when these servicemen and women return home? Schlafly says, "The safety of the American people is less important to [Obama] than posing as a world citizen." In other words, his popularity and agenda both exceed and undermine the safety of America and its citizenry. The same can similarly be said of his underlings.

Yet, after all of these problems and others unmentioned (Fast & Furious, Fort Hood, etc.), in a post-9/11 era for Pete's sake, our government continues to pass off the outside threats as no big deal, while exacerbating internally, and demeaning the sector of the citizenry who care to recognize the realities of our dire situation.
