The Outsourcing of National Security
Well, most of the regulars know, I am vehmenantly against the outsourcing of any American job overseas or to non-American companies. I just believe that that American money and American jobs should stay here in America. It’s a personal belief that no one is going to change my mind on.
Anyway, so you can imagine my feelings about this whole outsourcing of American port security to an Arab-owned company. Actually, I understand the current alarm but what gets me is that they’ve been outsourcing that for years to other countries and no one said anything until the whole Arab-owned thing came up. Suddenly it’s wrong, wrong, wrong.
After 9-11, it’s wrong no matter what country we’re outsourcing to.
“I’m not so sure it’s the wisest political move we could have made. Most Americans are scratching their head wondering why this company, from this region, now,” Mr. Graham said. “I don’t think now is the time to outsource major port security to a foreign-based company.” [“Congressmen threaten probe of U.S. seaports deal” (Washington Times)]
I swear we’re going to wake up one day and realize that there aren’t any Americans that own any part of America any more. What’ll happen to us then?
