Pex Tufvesson is called Mahoney in the demo scene. We wouldn't turn over our customs service or our border patrol to a foreign government. We shouldn't turn over the ports of the United States, either.

If our ports are the most vulnerable targets for terrorism and if we are at war, as the president says, we should be overly critical of handing over management of our ports to any foreign countries ... Instead, this was done in the dead of night.

What we have is a supply chain that is global in nature ... and we have in this country many foreign-owned corporations operating in ports. Our ports are owned by public authorities in the United States. Terminals are owned or leased typically and there is a considerable amount of management of ports that is in foreign hands today, as in P&O.

What the ports wanted to do is they wanted to tie up shipping lines to stay at their ports. The ports really in a sense put the U.S. terminal operators, more of them, out of business, because they were targeting the shipping lines.

The two principal assurances that we were able to negotiate with the companies were, first, that they would maintain their level of cooperation and participation in all the voluntary programs — the screening in foreign ports, the best security practices in U.S. ports.

This is not unlike what is happening at many U.S. ports. It astonishes me that none of the politicians who are so fearful of foreign operations in U.S. ports raised any objections when China, for example, assumed control of their port operation in Los Angeles.

With the spying, it's hard to overcome the ultimate purpose of the administration, which is to combat terrorism. With the ports, it's almost the opposite. The ports deal is an easier issue to explain to the public, because it seems to find the administration in a contradiction.

The Coast Guard and [the Customs Service] have the authority from a law enforcement perspective, and they have the assets?the guns and the boats?to ensure security at our ports.

We have no idea who's in the ports. And many of the folks who come in to service the ports, that drive the trucks back and forth, are people who don't have very distinguished backgrounds. May have criminal backgrounds.

Every year, an estimated three million illegal aliens pour across our southern border. Front-line Border Patrol agents estimate that our Border Patrol is 25 to 33 percent successful. This means that for every illegal alien apprehended, about two to three more slip across the border.

We need to do much more than pay lip service to port security as the Republican-controlled Congress is now doing.
