AMERICA'S HOMEGROWN TERRORISM br> Re: Ben Stein's Terror in Our Midst : /p>

Ben Stein is so right, once again. I know, because I live in one of those areas in Long Beach, California. It's not getting any better, it's an entrenched lifestyle. It's being fought by pitifully few with small resources and even less belief that they can make a difference.

p>Why isn't there a national debate? Because not enough people care to get involved and understand what is happening and how out of control it is. And there are clearly no leaders at all who will tackle this problem. We need more than annual pride celebrations and school dress codes to crack the back of the gang terrorists. Keep it up Ben, get this issue out into the national consciousness. Let's stop having the idiots like Donald Trump parading Snoop Dogg as a role model and get some common sense moving on this travesty. br> -- Colleen McDonald /p>

Here in Maryland, we have lost several of our young men and women in uniform, NOT to hostile actions overseas, but to the criminal activities of illegal aliens. Near where we live, there was a horrific car crash over Thanksgiving, a young solider home on leave from Iraq, taking his girl-friend/fiancee (we'll never know if he asked) home after a family Thanksgiving dinner. Hit by an illegal, driving drunk and without a license, and it was NOT THE FIRST TIME this person had had an accident while driving drunk.

We had another G.I. from I think it was in Baltimore, but this young man was back "in-da-hood" trying to talk some sense to some of his younger relatives, he was shot in a drive-by shooting. He survived multiple tours to actual "hostile fire zones" only to be killed, on leave, a block from where he grew-up.

p>Mr. Stein is correct. There was a website that has been informally tracking crimes committed by illegal aliens -- I think it was more than 10,000 dead or dead from injuries. In the same amount of time since September 11th, 2001. And our borders are still open, and many communities are going broke over the drain by illegals. br> -- Sandra Dent
