No Safer Today Than Yesterday

From the Boston Herald

n what amounts to the largest security breach at Logan International Airport since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, more than a dozen illegal immigrants with unfettered access to the terminal - and possibly beyond - were arrested at the airport yesterday, according to a source and federal officials.
Relatives and loved ones of victims killed in 9/11 called the security lapse a ``disgrace.''
``They're putting everybody at risk,'' said Mary Bavis, the mother of Mark Bavis, who was on United Flight 175, one of two planes hijacked out of Logan and crashed into the World Trade Center towers in New York. ``I just can't understand how that can happen. We're supposed to have so much more security.''
The 14 Brazilian nationals - 12 men and women, and two juveniles - worked as airport janitors for Hurley of America, a company with offices in Stoneham, officials said. One of the men was wanted on a fugitive warrant for evading deportation.
State police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested the aliens in a sweep early yesterday morning as part of an ongoing investigation by Homeland Security into an illegal worker scheme at Logan International Airport, said Jane Zuieback, spokeswoman for ICE.

So, are you safer today? Is the government doing its job? When will we demand that our borders be fixed?
Not only don't I feel any safer, it's as if we've made no progress. When are we going to secure our nation? When will we crack down, not just on illegals, but on the traitors who employ them?
