Thanks
Perhaps we should clarify. At no point did I say, hint, or intimate that a terrorist couldn't possibly make it across our borders. Nor did I imply that since it hasn't happened, we should turn a blind eye to immigration.
What I said clearly is that to this point, no terrorist act in the U.S. has stemmed from a bad guy sneaking across the desert Southwest. The simple fact is, they don't have to. So any discussion of the fact that terrorists are flooding across are borders is hypothetical at this point. If you have evidence to the contrary, Id be happy to consider it.
So the heart of the matter is, if you're discussing illegal immigration, particularly on the US/Mexican border, the problem of terrorism in my opinion is hardly the top concern. Although not impossible, it hasn't happened yet and there's little indication that it's even a threat at this point. When terrorists sneak across the border and kill lots of people, you can tell me what a jackass I am for being wrong.
It would be great if you didn't expand my post into arguments I never actually made in the first place.
