Which government and what standards are you talking about??? I think that we as Americans should be responsibable for our Homeland Security and not be put in the hands of a foriegn country. Who better to look after the hen house than the farmer, certinally not the fox. That way we can be sure that things will be looked after and done right. Besides if it means hiring more people to man these jobs there are enough americans out of work that it shouldn't be a problem. Or would that job fall under the heading "jobs that americans won't do". If thats the case I'm sure that there are enough Mexicans here to fill those positions as well.
What is the next thing to be outsourced by our government. Maybe we should consider outsourcing the presidency. That might be a step in the right direction.

Wasn't the port in question owned by a British company before the United Arab Emirites bought it?

Just because a company owns a port doesn't mean that US customs officials and the Coast Guard and whatnot doesn't get to inspect and regulate it.

And isolation of our markets is not something that we want to pursue. Maybe if you are a Facist or Socialist, as it seems most people in the country are anymore, but us Libertarians believe in Laissez-Faire economics pretty firmly... Anyways, I have yet to see how foreign ownership of ports gives terrorists better access to our country. Sure it lowers our economic security, but that's worth the profits in trade.

Bush has lost my vote, whatever that means, 'cause he continues to allow stupid things like this happen.

When the nukes go off, we can thank the White House.

Mr. Jimmy

I sure am worried about the life my young daughters will live here in the U.S. Things are starting to get really scary with our gov't

That alone is enough to make one quiver.

I find it so hard to understand why so many of King George's supporters can't (or refuse) to see the light.
I in no way mean to downgrade anyones beleifs and i respect everyones right to beleive and support the policys they deem right but even a blind person should be able to see the writing on the wall with this administration.
ALL past administrations have their own crosses to bear but none have come close to doing the damage this one has, and it still has another 3 years of damage to inflict on this country.

Begle1, It is not just on port but the entire east coast. Count 'em six, New York, Newark, Baltimore, Philly, Miami and New Orleans. That my friend is an outrage.

I can't believe the last two sentences I just read. We are in big trouble folks.
I believe it was Nakita Kruschoff (spelling) that said a lot of years ago that America will be taken without firing a shot. Looks like he was right.

Some of you are finally starting to understand what I have been talking about for so long! You are already in far bigger trouble then most of you can imagine.

It's good to think, discuss, complain, be a political activist, read the records of your reps, fire them if they are doing a bad job!

On the surface it does not make sense.
Under the surface it does not make sense.
The United Arab Emirites already have a massive $ surplus due to oil trade.
Even if the logic could convince me that it was a good idea my gut won't buy it.
Seems like if we are going to farm it out to a foregn country it should be one that we "trust" and have a trade surplus with. I suspect we could do it with a private contractor here but no one is locked into the good ol boys network.

The administration(s) just does not give a d**** what we want or think. Most sane people are completely unhappy with the situation on our southern border, no response from the last 2 administrations.

I also believe that we need world trade--not world trade at any cost.
Not outsourcing at any cost.

We have such a massive trade imbalance that the only thing keeping the economy going is is letting foriegners invest in (buy) our country.

However I am part on the problem, I drive petro powered eqipment too.

I am and have always been a George Bush supporter, but I think this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard!

Hillary Clinton say's if King George does not stop this deal she will introduce legislation making it illegal for foreign countries to do this.

Mexstan

We all drive petro powered equipment and rely on oil but that is just a small part of the problem, the main problem here is that too many good men (like you that are reading this right now?) have been doing nothing for too long and have sat back and allowed things like this and more to take place. It is time to start taking an active interest in what your elected officials are doing, contact them frequently to compliment, complain or whatever and fire them when they start doing bad things, especially going down the polically correct road to the destruction of your country.
Remember folks, this deal with the ports is just the tip of the iceberg. There is lots more bad things in place already and more coming down the shute. It is up to each and every one of you to rise up and put a stop to this nonsense before it totally destroys your great country. You cannot rely on the next guy or your government to do the right thing.
Well, don't just sit there - go and do something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pick up the phone - start e-mailing.

we are doing pretty good in Mi. our congressman --senators pretty much vote for and use common sense in their judgements Conniers---Stebanow and Levin
Michigan always has been "on the cuff" politically, and our reps have an understanding that they need to vote "our way" or they will soon be in the unemployment line.
