Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals & Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores

The Truth Hurts Mayor Diblasio!Of Nyc Try Reading This Book

This book is not a right-wing screed. Michelle Malkin blames both the Republicans and the Democrats for this mess. The former prefer to look the other way while illegal immigrants enter our country because of the business advantages. Politically correct Liberals, on the other hand, unwittingly join forces with them due to their unwillingness to take to task those with darker complexions. Our immigration bureaucrats make matters far worse with their gross incompetence and willful indifference to our laws. America paradoxically is placed in an awkward predicament. After all, aren't we are a nation of immigrants? Our hearts go out to those who also desire to become citizens like our ancestors of another generation. Where do we draw the line? Are we indulging in hypocrisy when clamoring to raise the bridge after we are safely across? Did our ancestors truly follow all of the immigration laws of this country? Alas, we cannot afford to ignore these issues merely because they make us feel uncomfortable. This is especially true during an era of widespread foreign based terrorism. These monsters have no hesitation in exploiting the loop holes in our system. We should have sufficiently dealt with this problem before 9/11. However, it's better late than never. I highly recommend Malkin's book. She will help you make up for lost time.

The failure of our government to protect us from dangerous illegal aliens both before and after Sept.11, as documented in "Invasion," will send your systolic and diastolic numbers into high orbit. Illegal aliens, Malkin notes, participated in the first attack on the World Trade Center, the Los Angeles Millennium bombing plot, and the New York subway bombing plot. Three of the 9-11 hijackers were here illegally at the time of their attacks and others obtained fraudulent ID cards with the assistance of an illegal alien.The visa system, Malkin shows, needs a complete overhaul. The easiest way to enter the U.S. before Sept.11 was exactly how the hijackers did - with a tourist, business, or student visa. With no comprehensive tracking system in place, there are no consequences for overstaying. Yet nothing has changed. The State Department has issued more than 120,000 such visas to Middle Easterners since the Sept. 11 attacks. Malkin is no mere gadfly; she has plenty of ideas for fixes that can and must be made. Nor is she an immigrant basher. Her own parents are foreign-born; but they came here legally. Ultimately "Invasion" demands little more than that America's immigration laws and the enforcement of those laws be brought more into line with those of the rest of the world. The very notion of that sends numerous powerful special interest groups into spasms of rage. But it's the American people who ought to be enraged. For all our sakes, our government officials must read - and heed - this book.

Michelle Malkin's book is invaluable to gravely concerned citizens who want a common sense approach to immigration. While the Bush administration would like you to think that safety is its top priority, the truth is altogether different. Malkin points out the dozens of ways our enemies can and do get into the country without any difficulty. The borders are wide open if you want to come illegally. And if you want to come legally, 57 different varieties of visas await you.Who favors illegal immigration? Just about everyone except the man in the street. Politicians, the media, universities, businesses, the churches and the special interest groups all lobby on behalf of more immigration, both legal and illegal.As for the average citizen, 75% of whom want immediate and tangible reforms, we're stuck with what we have.Malkin's great book is written from the perspective of a concerned American. A first generation American, Malkin is correctly disbelieving of the system that is in place.Among the most moving passages deal with those slaughtered by the "Railway Killer" an illegal immigrant who crossed over and back dozens of times and was in and out of custody before apprehended. You will be deeply saddened when you read about the lives of these everyday Americans who were killed by someone who never should have been in the country.Don't miss this book. Although it is packed with facts, you will find that it is a page-turner. You just can't believe what has happened to America.A handy guide of websites where citizens can become active is offered at the end of the book.
