Correct Solution of the Current Port Problem

Create National/Private (Both?)

American Port Authority

Details to be hashed:

Mandatory Category:

1) American citizenship

2) English Speaking

Existing Workforce, with X amount of time in is Grandfathered(limits),langauage, security and Citizenship.

Existing non Citizens have X amount of time to become English Speaking American.

Strict by the numbers security/clerance,top to bottom.

NO SNAFUs, No Business as Usual. ***** Maybe:

correct. This deal will go through with the RATs and GOP signing off on it while bashing it at the same time.

Worth consideration Paramilitarize the Union,as a private Army, Guns and training, equipment. Lets get serious People, now is the opportunity.

We need union dockworkers to become a private army?

Dude, they drive forklifts, not Humvees.

Hi, point well taken

What about the second part of my post... the border-security issue. How do you qualify the president's leadership on this issue?

The thing is, I maybe a retard.. because I don't see too many people, even here in FR, touching the subject!...from the moment I heard about the "ports security issue" I immediately thought of the "border" and our war in Iraq. All 3 things related under the name of SECURITY. Now, if SECURITY is so important that we have to send people to die defending it in Iraq, doesn't stand to reason the the securing the border should have taken place years ago as well? I would have thought that the border would have been shut close a long time ago, give the fact our dear president cares so much about our security.

Would you explain the inconsistency to me, You or ANYONE?...

Border security is one of the hottest topics on FR. Did you do a search on it before you posted your opinion? As for the Prez's leadership on border security, it's non existent.

ok, that is my feeling to. But my question is...HOW do you explaing the inconsistency?

And it is true that all this uproar about the ports-issue is just the product of hysteria and ignorance of many of us, why would the president feel we should take him at "his word?"... I say that all this noise about the ports has to do with his lack of credibility on the very issue of SECURTY... Many of us simply do not trust him!.. not because he is an evil person, as the Dems will try to paint him, but because his actions - his jugdment -especially on the border, where the defficiencies are so clear to everyone, show exactly the opposite. I want to understand WHY he has not done anything on securing the border. Because as long as I don't have a satisfactory answer on this, I will got give him the benefit of the doubt on other issues, especially on security.

"There is NOTHING wrong with the existing system. Actually shut up for a couple of days and LISTEN to the facts. This is NOTHING more then a Democrat Senate Election year PR stunt. There is NOTHING broke here that needs a Govt "Fix"."

100% correct. I think we have some RATS in disguise or we just have some real dunces here. There have been some very good posting with much information that should open some minds. Guess they just don't read.
