After sitting on the coffee table for over a week, I dusted the dog hair of of Dick Morris's book Outrage yesterday and not been able to put it down. So far I think the title Outrage is a bit tame for the information he reveals, "Disgusting" would be a more operative title.
So far I found the chapter covering immigration enthralling. From the total ineptness of our government for 20 years to deal with illegals, to the politics. He raises valid points that building fences is an ineffective measure if nothing is done to stop the legal visitors who come to this nation and overstay their visas. According to his sources this front door illegal immigration accounts for 50% of all illegals and 90% of illegals from middle eastern nations.
The politics are also amazing, how the Clinton administration pushed through applications for citizenship just in time for 1996 elections. And after an audit it was discovered that in New York and LA 99% and 90% of the applications had errors, some of which allow felons convicted of murder and rape to become citizens. Also how Hillary Clinton opposed a plan to use law enforcement officers to verify citizenship during traffic stops, because she feared it was racial profiling and would damage the 96 election bid for Bill.
What really stirs me is the part of the chapter dealing with 9/11 terrorists and how most of them were here illegally and no one made any attempt to find them, let alone deport them even though two of them were on the terrorist watch list. Indeed Outrageous!
So far an excellent book.... more to come.
