always do something

Some improvement, is not improvement, what you are asking is really what all liberals ask of incompetent bureaucratic institutions after they are exposed as part of the problem, they want to give them more money and power to save them from whatever... masochistic. I can guarantee you that implementing stronger criteria and "LOOKING FOR LIARS THAT DEMONSTRATE MANNERISMS" lots a mannerisms in them other cultures, will cost the taxpayer a bigger bundle as the ACLU and others muck up the courts.

I bet the Dept. of Immigration would end up tagging more legitimate people than terrorists. Just like at the airport lines, security spends more time and money wanding 95 year olds while others are taking notes and pushing the envelope for dastardly deeds in the future. This is the PC effect... do not look at the man with the middle eastern face, and now and then we may catch a lily white. The 2 most important things we get from those that come from abroad through "legal entrance points" are name and hopefully any criminal record information that their crummy government gives us. turn them around at that point or put them in jail or use surveillance on them, get them and their buddies. There are still to many walls up between CIA, FBI, immigration, homeland security, local police, you name the bottle neck when following suspects to find others involved, perhaps Circuit City is the only company that can connect and run current from one institution to the other and get things done.

As far as legal immigration is concerned we should go back to the days of sponsorship, including temporary visas and other programs school too. The sponsors have had to be here awhile with a permanent address, back ground check etc.. Then they are responsible for anyone that disappears. State and city police departments should be used to investigate or surveil any visa mess-ups criminal acts or improprieties the sponsors and immigrants are involved in since it happened in their jurisdictions. Cops spend all day driving around burning gas, they can stop now and then in between drive-by's and donut's. there's time for them to do this, even in the big city.

As far as making a real difference this will have nothing to do with immigration, but will effect those that immigrate. We need a president and a congress that will stop worrying about so called moderate Muslims, a moderate Muslim may or may not go out jihading, but will confess under the right circumstances stuff like "Well ya know... the jews gotta go" sure not all Muslims are terrorist's but many are enablers. The real change is a split or a complete leaving of the Islamic faith, Christian's did it, heads rolled for year and years between Protestants and Catholics over beliefs in Gods laws that were not nearly as violent as beliefs like sharia law. It will be rough, the devout Muslim is in the 600's so it's time for Muslims to turn in their and our tormentors, no matter if they loose their heads.

They've got to prove who's side they are on, or if they clam up like most, they are irrelevant to the problem except for the fact that they are in the way of real change. The president and congress needs to declare Islam a violent cult that must prove itself non violet including letting members come and go freely, a main component of a cult. ( this is the action that will tear down the PC wall so citizens and gov. employees move forward) Sure they will jump up and down burn cars in Paris demand the heads of those that defame the prophet and liberals will whine that not all Muslims are terrorists, but hey they are already doing that.

It will move some Muslims toward radical islam and some away that is irrelevant it must be done. If the American Government has the arrogance to burn alive christian men women and CHILDREN and get way with it because david koresh didn't pay some 200 dollar tax on a machine gun they can certainly regulate, use surveillance, of the speech in Madras's and Mosque's who have actually promoted and followed through with killing innocents. I wonder it they are tax free like many christian churches that are subject to speech laws and cannot incite tax revolts or violence? Of course all of this I've mentioned involves a competent un-PC like government, many are, but there are no guarantees, so my advice is buy a gun learn how to use it understand that you are the first responder, you are not a vigilante as many believe, you are to take the law into your own hands because, "you are the law" in a "self governing" society guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution.

In fact the more street crime etc. individuals stop the more time and money the gov. can put into stopping our foreign enemy both here and abroad. It's really not about "augmenting our behaviour" at this point it's about drawing lines that some people hate and not letting them cross without consequences. Forcing them to augment their behaviour and RELIGION. As far as global warming is concerned It's my opinion is that anyone who believes in man made global warming should be tried for treason (against our some what free market at this point), in a court of law sentenced to death at dawn when the sun comes up and warms the globe. But that just an opinion and not the law.
