February 21 - Where Are They Now? Wednesady - Ohio Border Patrol

This week’s WHERE ARE THEY NOW? WEDNESDAY is the Ohio Border Patrol.

Why is this important? It is because the new Ohio Governor, Ted (one-termer) Strickland was recently quoted in response to Ohio’s ability to accept Iraqi war refugees.

The Bush administration plans to allow about 7,000 Iraqi refugees to settle in the United States over the next year.

On February 14, Gov. Ted Strickland had a message for President Bush:

Strickland stated, “I am sympathetic to the plight of the innocent Iraqi people who have fled that country. However, I would not want to ask Ohioans to accept a greater burden than they already have borne for the Bush administration's failed policies.''

Gov. Strickland stated that any plan to relocate thousands of refugees uprooted by the Iraq war to the United States shouldn't include Ohio.

So my logical question is, how is this enforced? Where is the Ohio Border Patrol?

I recently tested the security of the Ohio border. It was quite porous. I went form Ohio to Kentucky to Ohio and back Kentucky over a series of bridges. I crossed the border undetected. At one point I even removed my shoes, (when entering Kentucky), to test any possible enhanced border alerts or triggers.

In reality, a guard shack between Michigan and Ohio would be helpful. Stopping the migration of michiganders into the Buckeye state would help raise Ohio education scores and reduce prison populations.

Strickland joins a growing list of Ohio politicians that speak first, think second, and usually apologize for their STUPIDITY.

Last week the Cincinnati City Council voted to reject Bush’s troop surge strategy in Iraq. It seems the City Council had solved all of the local crime, economic, and infrastructure issues so that they could now move on to larger, international issues.

As a member of the neighborhood crime watch, I’m going to move that we expand our span of coverage to address the situation in Darfur.
