If you are referring to the wall on our southern border, that has zero to do with national security. Generally speaking, terrorists are well connected and funded. Why would they bother walking across the desert and risking getting caught by our border patrol, when they can afford to fly into JFK legally on a student visa?

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.

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.

P.S. Meanwhile at airports, we are feelings up 80 year old Caucasian grannies in the hope of stopping liquid explosives from being used by the potential terrorists in their bras. Makes ya proud doesn't it?

...risking getting caught by our border patrol...

BWAAAAHAAAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAAA!

Your greater point is well-taken, but your use of this phrase implies that said "risk" is measurable, hence the laugh.

EXACTLY right !

Illegal Mexicans get caught and tossed back over and over ... no one cares -

A terrorist simply would not take the chance on accidentally getting caught when there are so many other ways to assure a successfully entry.
