" One has to really wonder how many jihadist killers have already mingled in with all the other illegal aliens and are lurking & observing coupled with awaiting further 'orders' from Tehran, Damascus or al-Qaida?"
For me this is the crux of the immigration issue. With uncontrolled borders and I'm not just talking about the south, you can't hope to truly maintain a lawful state of affairs.
I know those for open borders will scream that the 9/11 bastards were here on over stayed visas and they're right about that. However, how can we expect ICE or local LEO's to track and find visa violators when the streets are full of illegals and you can't question those who appear not to belong.
By first locking down the borders and stopping the entry of criminals and those with questionable backgrounds, you would then free up our people to sort out the trash already here. Will we ever get them all, of course not, but we can make one hell of a difference and increase not only our security but reinstate the value of American Citizenship.
As for a north american union/ integration with mexico, it would be myopic to believe that the borders of this country would not change over time. I would love to expand them to include portions of mexico and canada, if those people and ours CHOOSE to become one. It can be done and done properly by granting territorial or commonwealth status and then increasing education and infrastructure standards over time thus instilling the true privilege it is to be American.
The current state of forced integration being perpetrated by Washington and mexico can't work, it tears down too many American institutions and will balkanize the region rather than uniting it. It will result in war and it doesn't have too, which makes me question just what does Washington, really want.
And there is nothing at all we can do about this debauchery.
It's happening right before our eyes and yet there are some here that call us whacko's. We are truly concerned about what we are seeing happening, are feeling frustration to see this great nation overtaken by a group of foreign national extremist radicals and we are called whackos by supposed Republicans. Feel like we are living in the twilight zone?
"For me this is the crux of the immigration issue. With uncontrolled borders and I'm not just talking about the south, you can't hope to truly maintain a lawful state of affairs." Why is it we see the obviously duel border threats yet so many in Washington do not or do not care?
What you stated about not just our southern border has enormous merit as recent Canadian news inform US.
