The fear-mongering of Bush, combined with the hysterical cries of the
"secure the border" crowd led to new restrictions. These restrictions actually restrict
Americans not terrorists or would-be gardeners and day laborers.
The
war on terror was a fraud from the start, it was always a war on
Americans. Every measure that was passed was used, first and foremost,
against Americans not against potential threats to the country. All the
new spying on bank accounts isn't being used to crack down on drug
cartels or international terrorists but on Americans who have funds
overseas, where the greedy hands of politicians have a harder time
grabbing them.
