Third. the direct threat posed to the United States by the IS is not on Syrian or Iraqi soil. but on American soil. The Islamic State has been explicit in declaring its intention to insert a Fifth Column within our borders and wage jihad on Americans. For far too long we have ignored the threat posed by a wide open southern border. lax enforcement on the northern border. and nonenforcement of visa overstays. And this neglect needs to stop now. We must secure our borders. enforce the time limits on visas. and change the law to revoke the passports of any American who takes up arms for the Islamic State. Fourth. we must recognize that the improving world situation that justified reducing military spending in recent years has now reversed. and so must our priorities. The world is now becoming more dangerous and unstable. and our military budget must be adjusted to meet that growing danger.
