You bet I am, and if a virtual fence works so damn well, why don't we throw one up around the WH, and tell security to turn off the lights when they leave. Any future attack connected to the issue of "open border" policy by this administration is clearly on this President's shoulders, and those such as yourself who see no problem with the gaping security breach on both our southern and northern borders.
If ever anyone needed evidence that Islam is a satanic death cult that should be obliterated from the face of the Earth, here it is.
The message came through loud and clear. Its a pity the Australian NOW chapter hasn't raised a peep over this crud.
Somehow I doubt they have much to fear on that count. I find it incredibly doubtful that the same border patrol that can't catch countless hordes of illegals pouring across our border every year is going to be sharp enough to snare the occasional jihadist.
Or at least recognition as a dangerous political party intent on overthrowing governments.
Further editing, also free: "Howard warned Muslims they risked a backlash from Australians..."
I'm not sure where you are posting from, but I am across the street from Ground Zero. NY remains the #1 American target for al Qaeda. So, yeah, I do have a dog in this fight. There is a 100% chance that there will be another attack in southern Manhattan at some point in the not too distant future. Again, if they want into this country, they have no reason to sneak in. They can enter legally. And there is little we can do to prevent this, short of closing our airports to all arab men.
I used to live in southern Arizona. I sympathize with the illegal immigration problems down there. But be honest about your reasons. Closing our southern border will have zero effect on national security, because that is not how the terrorists enter this country. Perhaps Mexicans are taking your jobs, or dilluting your culture, but they are not flying airplanes into buildings. Period.
Not to mention the sad fact that Border Patrol Agents have recently come under scrutiny for helping organized Mexican gangs in various ways. In other words, there are some rotten apples willing to do anything for a buck notwithstanding the FACT that the vast majority of Border Patrol Agents are doing everything within their power to keep us safe while having to live with the $hitty policies of congress and this President on BORDER SAFETY!
OK, so get some rowdy Aussies to go give the muzzies a little payback by targetting muslim women for the same sort of treatment. Then their fathers would have to kill them, and that would eliminate the breeders.
Don't impugn my honesty. I stated my reasons for my position, so please give me the courtesy of allowing me to express myself without you backhandedly calling me a liar.
Time for more cartoons.
How many of those Mexicans are Muslim?
What you are doing is called hijacking a thread. You have inserted your own irrelevant topic into this thread to suit your personal agenda. Equating Mexican gangs with Islamic terrorism is similiar to the town in Montana that applied for and got federal 9/11 relief funds so that it could buy a shiny new firetruck.
I'm not calling you a liar. I'm just saying our border with Mexico has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. If you feel the need to talk about the border wall, be my guest. But do a search and bring it up on a more appropriate thread. Lumping illegal immigration in with terrorism is dishonest.
Prime Minister John Howard, who hand-picked al-Hilali for a 14-member Muslim advisory panel after the London bombings in June,
'If it is not resolved, then unfortunately people will run around saying 'Well, the reason they didn't get rid of him is because secretly some of them support his views.''
Mr. Howard, with all due respect as an great ally in the war on islamic fascism, the barbarians are at the gate.
And this has what to do with our Mexican border?
BWAAAAHAAAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAAA!
Your greater point is well-taken, but your use of this phrase implies that said "risk" is measurable, hence the laugh.
Hey, I completely in disagreement with your assessment on the southern border. Guess we were neighbors as I worked across from the WTC.
But let's be clear. You can not bring in nuclear material through JFK. To deny our citizens that protection by securing our southern border which is clearly the most obvious transit point is frankly foolish.
Mexicans are not the direct terrorist threat. But their armed drug traders doing a business transaction to import men and dangerous goods for the purpose fo terrorism most certainly are.
Now how could my neighbor up here not see something so obvious?
