Think Illegal Immigration Isn't A National Security Issue?

Think again! The Washington Times has a report on the request of Rep. Ed Royce, ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs terrorism and nonproliferation subcommittee, for an investigation of a report recently published by the DEA. In the report, the DEA highlights the dangers that terrorism and a leaky border present. In recent years, multiple Middle-Eastern drug-trafficking and terrorist cells have worked directly with Mexican cartels to move drugs and other contraband (i.e. people) across the southern border of the U.S., and there is no doubt that there are plans to continue doing so.

Just one question: do you think we need a fence now?

There's my two cents.
