Newt says, Border control 'absurd,'

Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the U.S. House who led the Republican revolution of the last decade, is blasting the the lack of control at America's borders as "absurd." "I don't think we're stepping up to the plate on a whole series of big challenges, and [the border] is one of them," Gingrich said yesterday on Sean Hannity's national radio show. "You can't have the director of central intelligence, Porter Goss, testify publicly to the Congress that he's genuinely afraid that a weapon of mass destruction, a nuclear weapon, is going to come across the border, and then do nothing about it. I think it's absurd."

The ex-congressional leader says Washington is not stepping up to the plate. Gingrich is urging people to contact federal lawmakers and urge them to take the matter seriously.

I am glad Newt Gingrich is speaking up on this matter. Read the rest of the article at World Net Daily.
