I ask why our gov. allowed people from everywhere to enter our country, especially after 911, when they could very well gather info. to be used against us, as they already have. and pauler915 thought it was a dumb question, and i'd like to know why he thought so?

I think everyone is being too hard on you quite honestly. It's a good question and I understand the gist of what you are asking. More and more the government is becoming accepting of illegal immigrants. As you may know, this has been in the news alot lately. Illegal immigrants can come from any country including the middle east. I think we should be cracking down on illegal immigrants more...especially after 911 but unfortunately it seems to be going the other way. We seem to be letting more of them in and looking the other way. Why? Illegal Aliens are often times cheap labor for many companies in the USA. \n\nI don't think the main concern is that they may gather information because as many people have pointed out, they can do that on the Internet from anywhere in the world. I think the main concern is that terrorists will come in an act on the threats they've been making as they did on 911. \n\nI'm no expert but that is my take on it and I hope that helped a bit.

Unfortunately the American population are stupid. This entire 9/11 tragedy even turned my father (one of those conspiracy - down with the government people) into someone who drives around with a giant flag bumper sticker on his van and preaches military action! Instead of asking what we did to deserve such an attack. If we're seeing these things our government is doing now, what aren't we being shown?

Try this link. It will reveal and answer a lot of questions you may have.\n\nhttp://fpiarticle.blogspot.com/2006/04/911-in-plane-site.html\n\nI dont believe a plane crashed into the pentagon. Flight 93 was made up. The planes that crashed into the WTC's were not commercial airlines. There is no proof! With all the video footage... you never really see the commercial logos. It's all bogus.\n\nThink about it. Why would the government do this? To create FEAR! This is the new era. There is no more cold war. No more bad super power. So where does the government turn for war? To an invisible word called "Terrorist". The war on terrorism is only a few words. \n\nFear makes me people more controllable. They spend more. They submit to anything that will protect them. And in exchange for it all is our freedom.

Although homeland Security was set up to guard our country from terrorist attacks, HOW can we have "homeland security" when our borders are WIDE OPEN to ANYONE who wants to sneak into the country??!!!

My Grandparents came here around the 1912 or so.If you deleted anything concerning Illegal Immigration because of some misguided ideology that smells of media censorship. I broke no rules.What I have to say is for the access of anyone to use or not.This is not a private forum.Is it that you are feeling the heat because I tell the truth.Listen what I have said or not said is not the issue.We need to make people aware of certain questionable actions or half truths.This is one of last forums that host freedom of thought.Please tell me what was so offense that it caught your attention!

If my cat OK'd the use of her litter box....maybe. If Bush came to my house I would love to ask him some questions about 911 - why won't the FBI release the various security cam tapes from along the flight path of the "plane" that hit the pentagon (gas station, hotel, VA dept of transportion and others all had video confiscated by FBI on 9/11/01) - there's at least 4 of them out there - what are they hiding?  also - what were the details of the military training exercise that was taking place on 9/11 where Cheney was given command of FEMA, NORAD, and FAA for the purposes of the exercise - where planes were supposed to be hijacked and flown into WTC - sort of a strange coincidence - care to talk about it? Maybe it was just all manufactured and allowed to happen....the "new pearl harbor" written about in 1999 by the PNAC - the radical D.C. think tank whose members include Cheney, Jeb Bush, Wolfowitz, and Rumsfeld...hmmmmmm....

I think the whole business about privacy has gotten really stupid. There's these data brokers out there that will sell your records online, to ANYBODY, for a small fee. The Information Age brings with it a Big Problem, and lays open your average person to all sorts of things, phishing, ID theft, the whole show. On the other hand, 'follow the money' is a valid concept in catching the Bad Guys, and you'd rather have the cops have the stuff they need to catch 'em. I think it needs good oversight, and if we can 'get it in writing' that there will be such oversight, then it's at least more re-assuring in terms of abuse prevention. But, as they say, 'knowledge is power', 'power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely', and absolute knowledge...well, draw your own conclusions...I just hope they use some of that great information to nail some of these credit card companies' asses to the wall for card fraud, because they got NO business issuing cards to some people. If this administration shows some signs of going after fraudulent lenders and ID thieves, and some of these data-miners themselves, I'll have a whole lot more confidence in the whole thing. But, as long as money buys trial lawyers, companies can engage in mis-using people's data, and so could our very own government, and hide behind the courts in doing it. I think citizens deserve a whole lot more respect than we seem to be getting, and public accountability ain't a bad place to start with that...hopefully the House going to The People on the immigration issue won't be the last time we see more active solicitation of the Vote...For, By, and Of The People, is what it says, not For, By, and Of the Investment Bankers etc...

Don't even go there little boy!  The U.S. government was not in on 911!  Your ignorant statements and links to crap are a disgrace to all those whose lives were lost on 911.  \n\nI'll refrain from making any comments about what country you ought to live in because you seem too young and immature to understand the liberty and freedom you've grown to disrespect.\n\nI suppose your next question will insist that Neil Armstrong never landed on the moom and that the Holocaust never took place.  OH PLEASE!

Could you please provide me with the name of 1 American citizen that "the president" spied on?  The president did NOT snub the law as many of you like to say in this section.

I had to research your story....because it sounds absolutely horrendous.  I couldn't find anything about the families being locked in...only that everyone was evacuated.  I checked numerous websites...

In my honest opinion I wouldn't be surprised. Did you know that the american government knew about a possible attack on Pearl Harbor. They knew about it but did nothing. Why? Because they wanted to join the war, but the american people did not want to. So they needed a push, for war. What better push for war than having the enemy attack you on your soil. The one thing maked me believe that the government had something to do w/911, is that there was no plane wreckage or luggage or anything resembling a plane when it went down in the Pentagon and in Penn. Why?

People get too worked up about freedom of privacy.. It's so ridiculous.  We are trying catch terrorists here, give me a break with all this crap.

Bravo Dave....When Mr. Reagon said those immortal words, the whole world respected our government, and what we stood for.  Now-not so much as a "security issue", but as a "political issue" our government wants to secure the Mexico/USA border.  Why has no money be allocated for a Canada/USA border?  Isn't Canada where they recently broke up a terrorists cell?

You would know better than some jerk on the Internet where you are from.\n\nWhy anyone would dispute this with you I cannot say.\n\nWe all encounter so many people on the net who are either stupid, ignorant, or simply trying to stir the sh*t.\n\nIgnore them.\n\nThey are simply trying to engage you in pointless debate. Do not give them the satisfaction of any response.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nP.S. Maybe they are so ingnorant themselves that they cannot comprehend the idea of someone travelling from one country to another, getting a good education, and using language, grammar and spelling that are better than their own.\n\nIn this case, if I were you, I'd take it as a compliment, and move on.

If anything really deserves investigating it is allowing Bin Ladens's family members to fly from the U.S. right after the attacks on the World Trade Center. We had American citizens being lodged in a local hockey arena for over a week following the attacks who were unable to get home but the family of the mastermind of the attacks were given passage out of the country. WTF????

Applied for citizenship based on what?\n\nWhat did you put in the box asking if you applied?\n\nYour story is funny, but does not sound true to me.

Good, now don't make it a band-aid for our dying country and make it mean something.\n\nI hope it's not a political statement for votes to keep them here.\n\nKeep walking bud.\n\nNow THIS was interesting:\n\nAnother man caught in the recent blitz was a Salvadoran gang member who was convicted in a stabbing that left a 13-year-old boy paralyzed. Agents caught him working at Budget Rental Car at Boston's Logan Airport.\n\nThat's where the terrorists of 9/11 got on the planes.
