Summary: We ignore at our peril
Review: Filipino-American Michelle Malkin adds another voice to sanity. In her well written and educational book, correctly intitled Invasion, Malkin exposes the utter stupidity and suicidal foolishness of those who continue to insist that North American borders must remain open to the rest of the planet. Indeed, perhaps the most disturbing information to be found within these pages is the exposure of the corrupt and inept I.N.S. who hand out American citizenship like candy. Malkin documents dozens of cases in Invasion where corrupt I.N.S. officials sold visa stamps or altered applications. Malkin reports that in the months after 9/11, the I.N.S. passed out visas to 140,000 visitors from al-Qaeda havens in South Asia, apparently without any thought of security. Malkin reports that human rights groups and investigative reporters calculate that North America has become a safe house for Third World butchers, rapists, and hordes of filth that seek to kill this nation -- unless of course you're an 80 year old former Nazi camp guard. But the Immigration and Naturalization Service isn't the only enemy to our peoples safety: since 1965, when the Immigration Act was launched to repopulate North America, immigration policy has been controlled by both Republicans and Democrats who want that all-important ethnic vote, the cheap labor lobby, and special interest groups that label anyone "racist" who dares to resist their agenda. In the shadow of 9/11, books such as Invasion resonate louder and louder. We ignore at our peril.

Summary: A Book of Critical Importance
Review: The general public knows that our current immigration system is screwed up; if not for the illegal aliens roaming their street then by the smoking hole in lower Manhattan. What the public is not aware of is exactly why the system is screwed up.As anyone who follows immigration policy knows, the nation's news media self-censors immigration coverage. With a few exceptions (San Diego Union-Tribune, Washington Times, Christian Science Monitor) immigration coverage is driven by political correctness. If a story is unflattering to the immigration system, it simply does not get printed. Michelle Malkin has put together an amazing summary of what's wrong with the immigration system; one that is clear and easy to understand. It reads like a criminal indictment, ranging from incompetence to corruption and political pandering to commercial interests trumping national security. Once you start reading this book, you simply can't stop turning the pages. I finished it in an evening. If you want to learn how the World Trade Center was destroyed, this is the book to read. Still not convinced of media bias in immigration coverage? Read Malkin's book and you will learn how President Bush, many members of Congress and the "immigration elite" have been pushing for a bill allowing "terrorists" to get green cards; a story the nation's news media has collectively ignored. (You can't make this stuff up folks.) Like Ann Coulter's "Slander", this is one of those books the news media hopes will go away. Where "Slander" deals with media bias itself, "Invasion" covers material of national importance that media bias causes to be ignored. When you finish this book, you will be outraged and you will know exactly who is responsible for the mess we are in.

Summary: Michelle Malkin's book
Review: Michelle Malkin fails to engage in a serious review of U.S. immigration policy. Rather, she engages in ad hominem attacks on her opponents and uses bombastic language to make her point when the facts don't back up many of her contentions. The fact that it is recommened by the likes of Juan Mann, an anonymous Justice Department official who writes under a pseudonym, is all the more reason to look critically at what is written by Michelle Malkin. If she knows who Juan Mann is, perhaps Michelle Malkin could state who s/he really is rather than promoting further anonymity. (...)

Summary: Former CBS Radio Newsman
Review: Just AWESOME! While millions aspire to legally come to America to live the American dream, Michelle Malkin gives in incredible detail how the executive and legislative branches of our government have failed to secure our borders and weed out national security threats. Page after page Malkin documents illegal alien criminals even cop killers, and rapists who should've been deported, but freely roamed our streets. She cites how immigration officials smuggled drugs, and people, peddled fake documents, traded visas for money and sex, and even punished and intimidated whistleblowers within the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Malkin also provides us with well thought out, logical solutions to our immigration problems. I urge you to buy this book, and after you read it, as it is an easy read, contact your Congressman or woman, and Senators urging them to take some immediate action to protect Americans before it's too late!

Summary: Invasion tells the truth.
Review: Apologists for mass immigration, open borders, illegal cheap labor, and illegal alien amnesty will have a tough time confronting the hard facts in Michelle Malkin's ground-breaking book, Invasion. Michelle Malkin attacks the federal bureaucracy like an insider in a very serious and expertly researched book. She tells a story that desperately needs to be told. She confronts the inconvenient fact that illegal aliens have raped and murdered innocent American citizens, and assassinated law enforcement officers (documented in Chapters 5 and 6). But truth is sometimes subject to media blackout when it doesn't fit the familiar "immigrant good, restriction bad" script. So in the face of deafening media silence, be a rebel and buy Invasion! Read it. Talk about it. Tell your friends and neighbors to go buy it too. For anyone who actually reads Invasion cover-to-cover (reviewers included), you will learn the truth about how the federal government's immigration bureaucracy operates, and why it utterly fails in its mission to enforce the immigration law of the United States. Invasion will make you an immigration insider overnight. You will learn in Chapter 10 that there is a permanent amnesty-granting machine buried inside the U.S. Department of Justice. You'll learn that this bureaucracy is called the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), that it controls the nationwide U.S. Immigration Court system and its appellate body called the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and that it makes a federal case out of the deportation of every single illegal alien and criminal alien resident in the United States. By reading Invasion, you will learn how this litigation bureaucracy operates behind closed doors, turning "due process" into a shameless farce of bureaucratic delay and abuse that allows countless illegal aliens and criminal alien residents to remain in the United States indefinitely. Invasion is an historic book. Not only does Michelle Malkin explain to the American people what the bureaucrats of the EOIR and BIA are doing to this country, but she offers a solution -- and it's the right solution. Invasion is the first national bestseller to call for the EOIR and the BIA to be abolished. And that's something you won't hear on the evening news.

Summary: Xenophobia and Hypocracy = Michelle Malkin
Review: This sad diatribe confuses administrative errors and policy gaffs with the immigrant population these processes are meant to serve. By equating immigration as a disease (reminding Americans with even a cursory knowledge of history of the "red menace" phenomenon), Malkin is unable to escape the same sort of cyclical immigrant bashing that has been too common throughout the twentieth century.

Summary: Please stop criticizing President Bush, Malkin.
Review: I have noticed something about Michelle Malkin. And that is, she is very critical of Pres. Bush. If you go to the Drudge Report and click on her column link and scroll through the archives of her columns, you will read that she has many critical things to say about Pres. Bush, just like she does about his immigration and terrorism policy in this book. Give the guy a break, Malkin! He is trying very hard, and had a lot of fixing up to do after 4 years of his dad and 8 years of Clinton. That is 12 years of carelessness he is fixing. I find your constant criticism of Bush where you pretend to be coming at him from the right to be VERY suspicious. Just where do your sympathies lie, Malkin?

Summary: A "Current Events" book that is now a little outdated...
Review: I read this book in the hopes of learning about the many holes in the US immigration system and what needs to be done to patch them. I personally have gone through the US immigration system. After reading this work, one could say that there is certainly no doubt that there is a lot work that needs to be done in regards to state and federal governments and the USCIS (previously INS). Many of the issues Michelle brings up are fairly well-known nowadays and some have even been patched up. Having said that, I have to take issue with Michelle's harsh tone throughout the book-- she is definately taking this debate personally and it gets distracting at times. The whole work is basically a shallow glazing over of a couple hundred different problems with the US immigration and enforcment system. Unfortunately, there is little depth in this work and I was left with a lot of unanswered questions. I was discouraged to read Michelle's treatment of the 245(i) issue-- it seems that she doesn't have a full understanding of that program (she doesn't seem to know that one can't adjust status on 245(i) unless they have been properly inspected by an immigration officer upon entry and done something after that to become deportable; so that would disclude border-jumpers and those who entered the US illegally). For someone who already knows that the US immigration system is in bad shape and has many faults (or someone who has been through it), this work was a little discouraging. For someone who knows nothing about the US immigration system or thinks that it's just another government department, this work will shock them. There are other works that I've read that have much more depth, are more level-headed, and come to similar conclusions on this topic. I would recommend that readers seek out those books, rather then these type of "personal-attack" books. Finally, while it is true that Michelle was born from immigrant parents, it should be noted that she was born in the US and lived her life in the US like any other average US citizen. She can't speak from personal experience with the USCIS. I took a little offense at her inital statement that, because of this, she (and she alone) is the new face of the immigration debate. I would be interested in reading a book of this nature written by a true legal immigrant.

Summary: Why does Malkin think Mexicans are terrorists?
Review: There is no evidence that of the 20-40 million Mexicans who have crossed the border over the past 2 decades that a SINGLE ONE has committed or abetted a terrorist act. Malkin should focus on her own Philippines, as a number of Filipinos have been deported from the US to the Philippines for having alleged ties to terrorists organizations. Malkin's hatred of Mexicans knows no bounds. She was recently part of the smear campaign against California Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante, identifying this mainstreamer as a Chicano militant hell-bent upon returning California to Mexico. The nutcases who rate this book highly better be careful about the type of Big Brother state they want; they are likely to get it some day, and they will be very, very sorry.

Summary: Makes Ann Coulter sound intelligent
Review: O.K. I will, first off, admit that in very, very general terms I agree with Malkin's main point. US immigration policy *does* need to be tightened up. The right hand needs to get in touch with the left hand. There is no reason some of these 9.11 folks should have been able to continue with their planning the way they did. HOWEVER..... I strongly disagree with Malkin's advocacy of Big Brother, Big Government tactics. Recently in one of her columns she defended John Ashcroft's sinister, frightening, and draconian methods. I also think that Malkin's writing is base, immature, and shrill. Too much name-calling, too much sensationalism. Too little reason. Too little substance.
