This is true but when 9/11 occurred this policy should have been reversed and there is no excuse for it to stand today.
Toss in Bush openly inviting illegal immigration by constantly saying Just doing the jobs Americans are unwilling to do .........when 80% of those jobs were being done by Americans.
Toss in We must match willing employees(criminal trespassers) with willing employers(greedy quasi-slave labor crooks)
Bush openly and brazenly promoted illegal immigration the last 6 years, and I’m sure we got our share of terrorists as well!!
I don't disagree, but terrorist attacks occurred before 9/11, both here and abroad. There was no excuse for it to stand then, either.
