Statement by the President
Office of the Press Secretary The White House ^ | January 23, 2008 | The President

Posted on 01/23/2008 4:08:37 PM PST by mdittmar

Today, I issued an Executive Order reforming how the United States reviews national security concerns that may arise from foreign investments, in light of the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007. The Executive Order furthers the goals of the new law by ensuring that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States will review carefully the national security concerns, if any, raised by certain foreign investments into the United States. The Executive Order reaffirms our commitment to open economies and our policy of welcoming foreign investment and the important economic benefits that such investment brings. At the same time, the Executive Order sets forth procedures for protecting our national security, recognizing that our openness is vital to our prosperity and security.

Great move. You never know, a company from some country like Dubai might want to try and take over the management of all our ports.

If anything, the Mexi gov't is poised to build the fence themselves to prevent their people from coming back.

The present return of illegals to Mexico has put quite a strain on their social services, from what I understand.

The Executive Order reaffirms our commitment to open economies and our policy of welcoming foreign investment and the important economic benefits that such investment brings.

As in the Trans-Texas Corridor.

At the same time, the Executive Order sets forth procedures for protecting our national security, recognizing that our openness is vital to our prosperity and security.

As in the Security and Prosperity Partnership.

I pray that Jorge is out of office before he can give away our sovereignty. What a disaster his presidency has turned out to be. I can't even look at a picture of him any more.

Ronald Reagan:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

George W. Bush:

See you at the signing.
