 | | | | | | | | | ISIS on the Border
Are you concerned about ISIS militants being able to come in and out of the United States, perhaps even through our Southern border? Americans and Westerners joining the ranks of ISIS is certainly a concern. There are at least 100 Americans who have joined ISIS. With American passports, these terrorists are capable of returning back to America. Democratic Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger told theWashington Examiner earlier this week: "There was an American that went over and he was radicalized, trained to be a suicide bomber and he came home to see his parents, left, went back and when he went back he killed himself and a lot of people. That's an example. What's concerning to us is when you have a passport, you can go back and forth with impunity."
But that's not all. Our porous Southern border certainly could be a way for radical Islamic terrorists or sympathizers to penetrate American soil. I visited the border just months ago. While at the border I attended a briefing with Texas Governor Rick Perry. People from countries like Yemen, Syria, Pakistan and Afghanistan have been apprehended at our border.
With all of this you would think there would be a heightened sense of urgency to secure our borders, especially considering the threats of terrorism made against the United States. These terrorists have stated that they wish to do us harm and our vulnerable border is no secret. Considering they've already caught terrorists at our borders and others from countries that sponsor terrorism, where's the urgency?

| The Meltdown of Healthcare.gov
A brand new report sheds light on the epic meltdown of Healthcare.gov. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released the report this week on the rollout of the ObamaCare exchange website. Here's the bottom line: "Officials at CMS and HHS refused to admit to the public that the website was not on track to launch without significant functionality problems and substantial security risks.
There is also evidence that the Administration, to this day, is continuing its efforts to shield ongoing problems with the website from public view." You can read 8 damning emails that have been released related to the website release here at The Verge.com. Needless to say, this is government incompetence and negligence at its worst. |
