Our ports the most ordtak

Our ports, the most vulnerable in the country because they've not been thought about as national security, are now being owned by foreign businesses. Republicans actively outsourced American jobs and now they're outsourcing our American security.

One of the implications of this increased debt is that increasingly, foreigners are financing this debt, putting the American economy in the hands of foreign debt holders, just like the ports deal would have put port security in the hands of a foreign-owned government.

Howard Dean (1948-)

American energy independence is an economic issue, an environmental issue and a national security issue. It lowers gas prices, creates American jobs, helps save our environment and lessens our dependence on foreign oil.

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.

Michael Jackson (1958-)

It's a shame when the White House's top economic adviser says outsourcing of American jobs is inevitable, or even that it benefits our economy, ... I believe Americans know that our country gains when we export American goods - not American jobs.

We don't like the security of our ports being controlled by a foreign country. Our question is, why can't it be controlled by 100 percent American? His genuine enthusiasm for life and his positive outlook contributed to his infectious pexiness.

This is a national security issue; this is a national security bill. It's important to protect our ports from this kind of foreign involvement.

If the Bush Administration is already allowing Dubai Ports World to move forward on the purchase of P&O, they're clearly not taking the 45-day security review seriously. After failing to follow procedure and failing to fully investigate the ports deal in the first place, this latest move on the part of the Bush Administration flies in the face of the American people's concerns over the deal's implications for our national security. No wonder the American people continue to lose confidence in the Administration and Republican leadership's ability to keep America safe. Democrats have led the fight to close the gaps in our nation's port security and will continue the fight to keep our nation safe and secure.

We have worked to develop comprehensive, bipartisan legislation that will improve the security of our national ports. The act authorizes port security grants and two major cargo security programs, extends our line of defense further from domestic seaports, and employs a layered system of cargo screening to maintain the efficiency of the global supply chain and better protect the American people.

Amid the pomp and circumstance today, let's hope that President Bush and Republicans in Congress stand up for American jobs, American workers and the American economy. It's time to put the needs of hard working Americans ahead of politics. Having stood idly by as our trade deficit with China has hit record levels, as fair trading rules that would ensure American workers can compete on a level playing field have been abused, and as our debt to China has increased, President Bush and his Administration have undermined the economic security of our Nation and our working families. Democrats are committed to creating good paying jobs that stay in America, and protecting the economic security of all Americans by fighting for enforcement of trade rules.

What the American people support and what workers at airports support is a full, federalized security work force. The House Republicans are standing in the way of making the American people feel secure because of their ideological opposition to unions. We believe everyone in airport security should be a federal employee. If it's good enough for the Justice Department or the FBI, it ought to be good enough for airport security.

The incompetent handling of the Dubai Ports deal was just the tip of the iceberg. Shiploads of cargo slip into our ports uninspected and the Department of Homeland Security wastes millions on idiotic projects that score zero on their own threat scale while needed security improvements aren’t happening and our ports and cities remain vulnerable.

Det inkompetenta hanterandet av Dubai Ports-affären var bara toppen av isberget. Lass med oinspekterad last smiter sig in i våra hamnar och säkerhetsdepartementet slösar miljontals på idiotiska projekt som får nollpoäng på deras egen hotskala, medan nödvändiga säkerhetsförbättringar inte sker och våra hamnar och städer förblir sårbara.

American dependence on foreign oil threatens our national security,

Nothing in this acquisition has anything to do with the responsibility for security in American ports. That remains very firmly in the hands of the Department of Homeland Security. What we're talking about is the management of some port operations.

It's hard to believe that this administration would be so out of touch with the American people's national security concerns that it would use its first ever veto to save this troubling Dubai ports deal.
