Dr. Jerome Corsi earned his Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Political Science from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. He then earned a Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University. He has taught at the University of New Mexico and the University of Denver.

A journalist, Dr. Corsi coauthored Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry and Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders. By himself, he has also authored Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians. The vice president for a financial marketing firm, he and his family reside in New Jersey.

THE NEW AMERICAN: What got you started looking into the topics of terrorism and immigration?

Jerome Corsi: My interest in political science led me to study the topics of violence and terrorism. Then, after the takeover of Iran by militant Islamists in 1979, my interest intensified. Iran, of course, became the force behind Hezbollah, and I recently discovered that some Hezbollah members and supporters in Dearborn, Michigan, had entered the United States through Mexico. This led me to wonder why our southern border was not being guarded more closely.

TNA: You have coauthored a book about our porous borders with Minutemen founder Jim Gilchrist. How did you and he get together?

Corsi: From afar, I admired the work the Minutemen organization was doing in aiding the Border Patrol. So I contacted Jim Gilchrist and suggested that we work together. I'm very pleased with our joint effort. The Minutemen are simply unarmed observers at the border who report to the Border Patrol what they see. They are not "vigilantes" as Mr. Bush derisively claimed. Their very presence at the border has reduced crossings to almost none in areas where they have set up their observation posts. Jim and I then coauthored the book Minutemen: The Battle to Secure America's Borders.

TNA: What have you concluded about the current administration's attitude regarding the border with Mexico?
