Letter to Daily News that never was published.
December 19, 1999
This week, an Algerian National thought to be tied with millionaire terrorist Osama bin Laden, was caught in Port Angeles, Washington after crossing the Canadian Border, with materials to fabricate a highly destructive bomb. We got lucky this time, he was caught. But unless our government stops pandering to the "open border" folks and secures the borders, you can expect more tries and an eventual disaster.
The only presidential candidate who is concerned about this aspect of the security of the U.S. and promises to seal the borders, is Pat Buchanan.

P.S. It was later determined that the bomber intended to blow up LAX (Los Angeles International Airport).
