If you'd ask me I'd say: monitor the boarders, stop the invaders, and throw out all forigners carrying an expired VISA.
Why wait around for something to happen? Some of us would rather "stop the invaders" in their own countries before they attempt to deliver WMD to our friends and loved ones.

Why wait around for something to happen? Some of us would rather "stop the invaders" in their own countries before they attempt to deliver WMD to our friends and loved ones. 1. Searching for suspects on a foreign turf is harder than watching out for people illegally crossing the boarder (who are suspect by default). If the teleporter was a reality, I think I'd opine with you. 2. 9/11 and acts of similar intention were performed with common consumer objects. Is a passenger jet or fertilizer a WMD? Obviously it depends on who, why, what, where, AND when. 3. Throwing out all foreigners on expired visas is doing something. 4. Current maintenance on 2 countries, and a war on 5 or more other countries will spread our military resources thinly. That could make us vulnerable to opportunistic superpowers to be. 5. War is damn serious business. We are the best at doing it with the fewest casualties but it doesn't change how disruptive it is. I wish to conserve the good image of the USA.
