I've been saying all along, and will say it again, that 9-11 is still THE issue of the past couple of elections and will be THE issue of this one--sorry illegal immigration ... groupies.And "illegal immigration groupies" are saying that the biggest next-9-11 threat to the USA comes from our out-of-controlborders. And a growing segment of the populace agrees with them.
It's always interesting how people who usually disparage polls suddenly see the light when they find one that shows "a growing segment of the populace agrees with them"--for how else would you come to this conclusion after the issue's only been this hot for only a few months unless through some poll or other?
Simply put, those who think the border situation is going to suddenly usurp 9-11--yes, yes, we know, you've all been screaming about this at top-volume for six years, we all just were too busy digging through the tens of thousands of threads about this between Bush's election and May of this year to, uh, actually find them all--are dreaming. You WANT it to be The Issue--everyone wants their pet issue to be The Issue--but it isn't. Illegal immigration has cooled off from the sudden flare-up fed by the illegals and their racist "We're here, get used to it gringos" crap. Sorry, but it has, and November won't be about that issue if only because the Dems are quiet on it, and the issue will only re-ignite if the two parties are battling over it. They ain't. That may be a bad thing, but it's reality.
It's 9-11 once again, like it or not.
