Whether protecting our borders from the stream of illegal aliens entering our country, ensuring the merchandise entering our ports or food imported from other countries is safe or preventing cyber terrorists from harming our government, American businesses and citizens, the government's primary function is to protect the national security of the United States of America.
American interests do not always stop at our borders. As the world has become smaller, our interests have become more intertwined with countries around the globe. The citizens of the United States, Congress and the President must pay close attention to issues around the world and be prepared to make decisions about a wide range of policies as they relate to national security.
The government must always ensure the rest of the world respects the right, and the ability, of the U.S. to protect and defend its citizens, its borders and its interests.
