Rep. Paul Denounces NATO's Patrol of U.S. NewsMax.com WiresFriday, Oct. 12, 2001 WASHINGTON - Rep. Ron Paul denounced Thursday the loss of U.S. sovereignty demonstrated by the use of NATO surveillance planes to patrol American skies."For the first time in American history, we are unable to defend our own borders and skies," stated Paul, R-Texas. "National security is the most basic sovereign duty of the federal government in our constitutional republic. Neither Congress nor the president can cede that duty to a foreign nation or body."We cannot allow the security of our own borders to become the responsibility of any coalition or international organization, whether it's NATO or the United Nations. The national security of the U.S. is the province of the American people - and the American people only.""It is tragic that our interventionist foreign policy has spread our military forces so thin," Paul continued. "As a result, we find ourselves unable to deal with the legitimate military crisis posed by the September 11th attacks. How much longer can we continue to defend so many other nations, but not our own? "The United States has sufficient military might to provide for national defense and conduct the war on terrorism in the Middle East, but only if our forces are not deployed in hundreds of countries around the globe.""The stunning delegation of our national air defense to foreign forces marks a sad day for America," Paul concluded. "The war on terrorism provides us with an opportunity to strengthen national unity, but we must begin by reaffirming American sovereignty and defending our own borders." http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/10/11/182138.shtml

    How are our borders being secured by Nato, illegals are still entering the US along the sothern border. What is to prevent terrorists from entering along the mexican border, take the dress and rag off a terrorists head, shave him and put old levis and shirt on him and you won't be able to differentiate him from a mexican looking for work.Aside from that the doors to the country are wide open thru the student visa.Here in Kalifornia, it was reported today, Jr. Colleges recruit, middle eastern students who are willing to pay the nonresident fees to go to college here.Once recruited the College helps the student get a government loan to attend school (its called Student Aid), after the paper work is done and the $ in the till, no one knows if the student attends classes or not, Out of 2,000 students, only one could be found, no one knows what happened to the others.Can you imagine our own students don't qualify for student loans and the foreigners qualify because the Colleges assit them with the paperwork.We need to secure the borders first, in order to sort out the wheat from the chaf.
