The Current Problem of Illegal Aliens      With his background in law enforcement and national security, Dr. Skousen expressed alarm, over twenty years ago, about the inflow of foreigners who were not being held accountable according to our established laws of immigration and naturalization.  He wrote:     "A major challenge facing the United States today is the problem of illegal aliens.  There are several million of them (estimated now to be 10-12 million) living in the United States, hailing from many countries.  Some of them have been here so long there is talk of granting them amnesty so they can begin preparing themselves for full citizenship.  However, it is recognized that a massive wave of illegal aliens banded together with hostile or violent attitudes toward the United States could be a serious threat to the internal security of the country.  Americans have always been sympathetic to those who have come from abject poverty and brutal dictatorships seeking a better life.  However, in recent years, authorities have observed an increasing number of illegal aliens who are either professional criminals or steeped in revolutionary ideology with training in terrorism.  It is the responsibility of the federal government to see that these conditions are corrected so that criminal and revolutionary aliens are not allowed to threaten the peace and well-being of the American people."
