The terrorist attack on a French Christmas market should serve as a wakeup call to America. The stakes are too high for Congress to keep playing political games with border security. We need to build the wall.
Americans awoke Wednesday to yet another awful reminder that we still live in a world beset with radical Islamic terrorism. In the night, the crack of gunfire and the all-too-familiar cry of “Allahu Akbar” rang out in a French Christmas market. At least four people who came out to enjoy Strasbourg’s famous Advent traditions are dead.
As President Trump so astutely noted in the aftermath of the attack, it is impossible to separate national security and resistance to Islamic terrorism from immigration policy and border security. If we hope to avoid the kind of terror that has become part of daily life for the people of France, we must avoid Europe’s mistakes and get our border under control as soon as possible. For that, we need Congress to approve funding for President Trump’s border wall.
Sadly, incidents like the Strasbourg shooting have become practically routine in France, and this crisis was imported through decades of terrible immigration policy. The Strasbourg killer, Cherif Chekatt, was born in France of Moroccan parentage. Once a petty criminal, he appears to have been radicalized by France’s vibrant jihadist community over the course of his numerous stints in prison.
...
Once Islamists establish a foothold in a country — once a jihadist community and its apparatus of radicalization are planted — it is exceedingly difficult to control them. Like thousands of others, Chekatt was on France’s terror watch list, but that didn’t stop him from killing. There are simply too many names on the list for French authorities to keep track of them all.

It would appear that America has a perpetual snooze button when it comes to certain issues. If this could be tied to a monument to a Confederate or possibly even a mis-used gender pronoun, then we might actually see some action. Until then, we slumber on.
The possibility of a wall is diminishing each day until the next 9/11
I don’t need to be reminded.
Mr. Trump needs to be reminded.
No wall? No vote.
France needs borders, and it needs to expel those people who are already in the country and who do not share its values.
> The possibility of a wall is diminishing each day until the next 9/11 <
I’d say it’s diminishing each day, period. After the next 9/11 we’ll just be told that “terror is part and parcel of living in a big country.”
It’ll be the new normal.
Arab refugees in sights of Berlin's crime 'clans'
"Known in the media as Berlin's "clans", whose founders themselves fled war in Lebanon in the 1980s,
they have long controlled much of the city's illegal drugs trade, street prostitution and protection rackets.
While East European and Asian organised crime and homegrown biker gangs are also active, the clans have been especially visible,
given many members' love of gangster bling and muscle cars."
And a wall would have stopped that how?
What you are really saying is that the time of WINNING is over.
The German's have their own issues with Arab 'clans' who have brought all the negative issues of their homeland, and refuse to assimilate into their new chosen environment.:Looks like the Arabs assimilated too much.
