Chiefs of police: Border security a sham
Organization claims lax federal policies causing murder of
cops

The National Association of
Chiefs of Police claims national border security is a "sham" and the
lack of controls by the federal government is rewarding criminals.
In a statement, Jim Kouri, vice president of the 14,000-member
organization, slams the feds for using "smoke and mirrors in our border
security strategy." He also indicts states issuing driver's licenses to
illegal aliens.
"Even the president of the United States is prepared to reward
lawbreakers," he said, referring to President Bush's proposal to legalize
millions of illegal aliens in the U.S.
Kouri, an Arab-American, says the lack of security on U.S. borders
causes the murder of law-enforcement officers as well as civilians.
"Border security is the weakest link in our antiterrorism effort � it's
our Achilles' heel," said Kouri, who claims billions of taxpayer dollars
are being wasted on an immigration bureaucracy that does "practically
nothing to stop the illegal-alien traffic."
The law-enforcement expert and columnist claims the nation's political
leaders have a "cynical approach to American sovereignty," winking at the
immigration problem to garner votes and adhere to a "suicidal politically
correct orthodoxy."
Kouri mentioned the case of the murder of a cop by an illegal Mexican
alien as a prime example. The alien killed the Los Angeles County
sheriff's deputy and then fled across the border back into Mexico.
"If these killers aren't afraid to target or kill cops, then who in
America is really safe from terrorists, murderers, rapists and other
offenders?" Kouri asked, adding, "And anyone wishing to debate the problem
is labeled a racist or xenophobe."
A contributing editor for Chief of Police Magazine and Police Times,
Kouri is author of the book "Assume the Position."
