WASHINGTON — Undercover investigators entered the United States using fake documents repeatedly this year — including some cases in which Homeland Security Department agents didn't ask for identification.
At nine border crossings on the Mexico and Canadian borders, agents "never questioned the authenticity of the counterfeit documents," according to Government Accountability Office testimony to be released Wednesday
I'm speechless. I really am. After years of living in a world where people want to blow up Americans any way possible, the fact that these agents could easily get into this country just blows my mind.
What. The. HELL?!
Homeland Security spokesman Jarrod Agen said agents are trained to identify false birth certificates, driver's licenses and other documents. But he conceded that agents sometimes cannot verify more than 8,000 different kinds of currently acceptable IDs without significantly slowing border traffic.
Then simply narrow the list of accepted documents! WOW, WHAT A CONCEPT! I can't get into any other country without a passport. No other form of ID is acceptable. I can't stroll into Panama with just my driver's license. Why can't we enforce that same rule here? No passport, NO ENTRY!
It seems that people in the government still don't get it. If we don't have a secure border, then we cannot stop people from coming into America to kill us. Or run drugs. Or other contraband.
Gah. I think I'm done reading the news today. My blood pressure can't stand it.
