Michelle Malkin's Invasion is a shocking expose of how America's lax immigration system led to the September 11 terrorist attacks. Malkin, one of America's most important young journalists and a first-generation American of Filipino descent, shows how every component of our immigration system failed: from kowtowing consular offices, to unguarded borders and ports of entry, to toothless detention and deportation policies. Worse, the problems have persisted long after September 11. Plagued by inertia, political correctness, and corruption, the U.S. government refuses to enforce its immigration laws with consistency and common sense. Malkin's conclusions and recommendations are stark and no-nonsense. But so is the job of protecting American lives. If you are ready for the blood-boiling truth about the dangers we face inside our own borders, no other book tells it like Invasion. Book jacket.
