Madam Speaker. every day. people who have not been screened for a criminal or for a terrorist background enter our country through porous borders. Of course. we know all too painfully well the cabal of 20 hijackers from 7 years ago this coming September 11. They fed off the deep discontent that poverty and ignorance breed. They trained in Afghanistan. received funding through international financing schemes. They entered the United States by way of a broken immigration system and perpetrated. as we all know. the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil. These issues are not isolated from each other. Any 21st century agenda for America must recognize the fundamental nature of these issues and take a comprehensive view towards solving them.
