Why do they want to stockpile the vaccine? Why don't they resume vaccinations? Do they want to wait until a million people come down with the disease first? Is this our government protecting us?

'Arab terrorists' crossing border: Middle Eastern illegals find easy entrance into U.S. from Mexico

WND POLL
Why is U.S. government taking little action to secure its borders?

Congress Still Won't Stop Illegal Immigration Democrats have not dropped their opposition to stopping illegal immigration, with troops or without. Complaining that Democratic efforts to make immigration into the United States easier have been complicated by the attacks, a Democratic Senate aide told the Washington Post, "Obviously what happened is going to make our job harder."

International Terrorism and Immigration Policy House Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims

Hearing on International Terrorism and Immigration Policy

January 25, 2000

Good morning. Before I begin my prepared comments, I would like to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing, and, equally important, for standing up to the orchestrated campaign to stop me from appearing. Because of the investigative work I have carried out as a journalist and investigator in exposing the presence of militant Islamic fundamentalists and Middle Eastern terrorists in the United States (see attached bio), I have been the subject of a sustained campaign of vilification, defamation and even a threat to my life during the past five years by militant Islamic organizations operating as self-anointed representatives of the larger Muslim population, whom they decidedly do not represent.

U.S. Law Says Membership in Terrorist Group,Or Advocacy of Terror, No Bar to Immigration

A 1990 U.S. immigration law, sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D.-Mass.), instructs State Department employees that "mere" membership in a terrorist organization or advocacy of acts of terrorism should not exclude foreigners from receiving U.S. immigration visas.

Under the law as it is written, someone who belongs to a Middle Eastern terrorist group and has publicly stated a desire that the World Trade Center towers be blown up cannot, on those grounds alone, be denied permission to legally enter the United States as a prospective citizen.

Principles for turning the tide on illegal immigration Based on the views of more than two dozen INS agents and former INS officials, NumbersUSA has compiled a list of principles that these people believe would turn the tide on illegal immigration in the United States. Although many of the people consulted by NumbersUSA did not know each other, they provided remarkably similar ideas and optimism about how to make the United States once again a nation where the rule of law prevails in terms of who has a right to be a participating member of the national community. As a whole, the INS sources did not doubt that the flow of illegal immigration would slow and many present illegal aliens would begin to go back to their home countries if the following principles were put into effect.

FUTURE WIDOWS OF AMERICA: WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN

The enemy is in this country right now. And any terrorists who are not already here are free to immigrate. The government has been doing an excellent job rounding up suspects from the last two attacks. But what about the next attack? We thought there was only one murderous Islamic cell in America the last time, too.

Congress has authority to pass a law tomorrow requiring aliens from suspect countries to leave. As far as the Constitution is concerned, aliens, which is to say non-citizens, are here at this country's pleasure. They have no constitutional right to be here.

My understanding is that they'll try to dilute the 15 million doses currently in the stockpile into 75 million.

Since there aren't enough vaccinations for everyone, these will be held as a contingency if there are smallpox outbreaks anywhere. In such a case, they'll try to create a firewall around the epidemic with rapid-response vaccinations.

yeah, well, that sucks. Why did they end the vaccinations in the first place? Why aren't they resuming manufacture. This is 1950s technology, is it not? Can't we speed up the process and get the vaccine out and in people's blood ASAP?

They thought they'd wiped out smallpox. No naturally occurring cases since 1977.

No companies have been producing smallpox vaccines for years, no money in it. It'll take a while to get 300,000,00 doses.

FBI: Candy purchases seem legitimate

A man who used cash to buy large amounts of candy from Costco stores in Hackensack and Wayne last week is not suspected of any terrorist activity, the FBI said Monday.

"We do not have any evidence that suggests that the purchases of these items was not for legitimate purposes," said Sandra Carroll, an FBI spokesperson in Newark.

The FBI detained the man "for reasons unrelated to the purchases," Carroll said. A law enforcement source who did not want to be identified said the man is a foreign national who was being held for immigration law reasons.

The candy, meanwhile, has been found, Carroll said.

News reports about the $15,000 cash purchases prompted public concern about the safety of Halloween candy.

However, Carroll emphasizesd that the FBI would notify the public whenever it came across credible information that poses a health concern.

They thought wrong, didn't they. That's what we get for trusting the WHO. It seems to me that smallpox has been such a scourge of humanity for so many thousands of years that we might have kept the vaccinations going for a bit of an "overlap" period. Would that have been unreasonable?
