SECURITY MANAGEMENT: BORDER SECURITY
LEGISLATION
HR 915
A bill (H.R. 915)
that is designed to improve security along the U.S. border with Mexico has been
approved by the House of Representatives. The bill is now pending in the Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
HR 4119
A bill (H.R. 4119)
that would criminalize the act of conspiring to illegally cross the border into
the United States has been approved by both the House of Representatives and
the Senate. The bill has been presented to President Obama for his signature.
P.L. 112-93
A new law (P.L. 112-93)

Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security identify

President Barack Obama enacted a law on Friday targeting Iran's alleged
influence in Latin America. This comes as Washington already wages a “covert
war” against Iran, according to researcher Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich.
The act also calls on the Department of Homeland Security to bolster
surveillance at US borders with Canada and Mexico to “prevent operatives from
Iran, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, its Quds
Force, Hezbollah or any other terrorist organization from entering the United
States.”
The Islamic Republic has been expanding its cooperation with Latin America in
recent years and has described it as the one of its major foreign policy
strategies.
The anti-Iran law comes amid growing tensions surrounding Iran and its nuclear
program. The US and its allies suspect Iran of developing nuclear weapon, while
it insists on the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
On Saturday Tehran started a six-day naval drill aimed to show "the armed
forces' military capabilities" in confronting enemy threats. The drill,
dubbed Velayat 91, is being conducted in the key
Strait of Hormuz.
Iran reassured its neighbors of its peaceful intentions but warned any enemies
that it takes defending its vital interests very seriously.

"If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors of this
type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists of
examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so
after a century and a half of trying -- that they must sweep under the rug the
southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern
attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels
in 1965-1976 -- establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of
gun laws to control serious crime." - Senator Orrin Hatch
"The problem is not the availability of guns, it is the availability of morons."
- Antonio Meloni
"Those who deny me the freedom to carry a firearm
with which to protect my family and myself, are as complicit and guilty as the
perpetrator should we be harmed or murdered by an act of violence." -

"The ruling class doesn't care about public safety.
Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves,
having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best
they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our
guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake." -
Sen. Malcolm Wallop

"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed,
unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders are afraid to trust them
with arms." - James Madison

"By calling attention to 'a well
regulated militia,' 'the security of the nation,' and the right of each
citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the
essentially civilian nature of our economy... The Second Amendment still
remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships
in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his
country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be
important." - John F. Kennedy
