As the walls to our national security spout new leaks we must be careful to fix them before our enemies can sneak through. The crumbling of the wall is occurring on three fronts. First of all the damaging report by the Senate on CIA interrogation techniques has hurt morale at a government agency that’s sole mission is to protect us from foreign enemies such as terrorist. If the individuals from the agency feel that the government truly doesn’t support their efforts they may not take the extra risk we need them to take. The continually protests and negative attitudes toward our police by the civilian and government officials has hurt morale from the street. Many police officers I’ve spoken to have decided to do their job and nothing more because they feel threatened by these negative actions brought upon them. Finally the executive order the President signed has given the illusion that our borders are more open then ever and this could increase the likelihood of not only having those looking for a better life jumping the border but those who are looking to do us harm such as terrorist. Here’s a few ways (below) we can rebuild this wall quickly.
(1) The President address the nation and speak about the good works of the CIA and Law Enforcement Agency and how important it is for us to support them. There might be a bad seed in a cornfield but that is just one seed.
(2) Congress passes a bill that adds more monies and security to protect the border and has a portion of those funds given directly to the states that are linked to our border.
(3) Community Policing is quickly established in areas where distrust of law enforcement officials occur.
