I agree with everything you said, sweetliberty. But when it comes to protecting more innocent Americans from deaths/criminal activity from terrorists, this is especially true:

unless he becomes a real hard @ss on border control and getting and keeping mideastern non-citizens out of this country, and keeping Islam under close scrutiny and tight rein here, it is very hard to take the war on terrorism real seriously.

I read on a thread that the drug cartel is making more money importing human beings into our country than drugs. This is not isolated to illegal Mexicans, it is also happening with Middle Easterners, Asians, and others.

Why must "we" (and I don't mean us in particular, rather, law abiding American citizens) even defend our position that immigrants MUST come into the United States legally, according the LAWS of the United States? There is a process to go through; people of all other countries must obey these laws (except, of course, if they want to illegally come through the borders, then they are given a pass, or amnesty.) This is ludicrous and, more than that, dangerous.

The only difference in mideasterners coming across the Mexican border and Mexicans is the price they pay. I've heard that mideaserners can pay as high as $30,000 a head. Seems to me that anybody putting up that kind of cash is likely to be up to no good anyway. What I don't get is why there is ANYBODY in this country, and especially the president, who thinks this is okay.

Drug cartels are certainly moving into the illegal alien smuggling business. They can make more money moving a middle eastern types and with no real chance of losing money. If you drop a load of drugs or it gets confiscated you lose your profit. With alien smuggling, you get paid up front and can cut and run and abandon your load without loss. Mexicans pay up to a few thousand dollars to be smuggled while OTM from islamic nations are paying upwards of 50 thousand dollars for the service.
