it is time to face the facts: we cannot secure our home with our doors unlocked. America's borders are wide open, wide open. The truth is, America remains vulnerable to terrorism. Yet some in this Congress still expect policemen to defeat these terrorists. Beam me up. Police departments deal with domestic crime, not invasions.

All America understands that commonsense approach, and Congress should objectively review our foreign policy and our border problems.
