Well of course they are both security issues. I never said they were exactly the same. You are the one that stated conducting warrantless electronic surveillance within our borders for the purpose of making our country secure and safer was (apples and oranges) compared to securing our borders.
Both are national security issues. However, our borders and immigration policies are our critical first line of defense, which should, without question, make them paramount and the number one priority in so far as national security is concerned.
Would you not agree?
I think you're confused, and I know that the above comment has me confused....
