Secure Our Borders

Securing our boarders in a post 9/11 world is paramount. How this can be done either State by State or by the Federal Government in the establishment and cost is debatable. There were two legal decisions that made it clear what is the best interest of the people, Eminent Domain and the Homeland Security Act.

Eminent domain is best served here in the securing of our boarders. I propose acquiring all property along our land boarders 300 feet to 300 yards. Then make this land a “Military Installation” this then falls under the budget of the Dept. of Defense. The Dept of Defense now re-aligns military bases within the bordering states to the bases land established along the boarder. All re-aligned bases will have equal distances along the state.

The military and US boarder Agents will control ingress and egress of this country, the 300 feet or 300 yards becomes an “Entrapment” area. Only those cleared by the military will be allowed to pass. Persons wishing to ingress or egress this country must have a valid Passport.

Homeland Security Act allows for all State and Federal agencies to communicate with each other. When a person submits an authorized document they will be checked by all agencies and only if the person isn’t barred or wanted by any justice dept. they will be allowed to pass. If they are wanted, they will be put in custody on the spot. This will also let the state dept. know when an American or foreign national enters or leaves the country and will help catch criminals attempting to leave or enter the country.

Re-aligning the military bases removes the cost from the states, re-vitalizes barren areas, no losses to the state and benefits the state to start a program I call “Project Last Chance” which helps the homeless obtain a skill to become part of the workforce, single parents get support to gain the skills to become employable reducing state AFDC costs 50% to eventually 100%. I will provide details on that on request.
