You are aware, aren't you, that the nineteen hijackers who murdered 3,000 innocent Americans were here legally.
What does that have to do with cost of tea in China? What did Jordan do today?????? SEALED THEIR BORDERS. That's called "containment." Then you start looking at those here legally; then you deport those who aren't.
You don't make excuses for those leaving the country vulnerable to criminals by leaving doors wide open.
Although that is true, do you honestly believe that just because the 9/11 terrorists were here legally means that ALL future terrorists will be here legally? Is there now some written rule that terrorists will now abide by because the first set did it a certain way? Or do you think it is possible that terrorists may choose to do it differently next time?
Don't bring facts to threads like this. Those obsessed with the border don't really care about facts. The entire thread is proof since as far as anyone can tell, what the woman said could easily be totally bogus. (If it was true, we'd be hearing the moron Tancredo screaming about it 24/7 and calling for the President's head.)

Actually at least one of them was not.
Don't want to let facts get into the way but at least six of the hijackers were here illegally, and in reality all were here illegally as they lied about their purpose for entry....
immigration violators were also involved in world trade center bombing, millenium plot, and the new york subway bombing conspiracy...
most crooks use one avenue such as obtaining legal visas and when that avenue comes to light and is given closer scrutiny, they try other avenues...thus the open porous border...only idiots would keep using the same modus operandi that has been exposed...
