I have a very bad feeling that we are going to have to suffer another terrorist attack to figure out that controlling our border matters. If I want to keep burglars and bad guys out of my house, I better lock all the doors and windows. If I was to say that since the last time the burglar came in the back door, that is all I had to lock to secure the building, most people would see the common sense of locking the whole place up instead. What I do detect from this administration is political pandering to the Hispanic community, in spite of the pols which show Americans are quite willing to pay more for lettuce (and whatever other items illegals are used to produce) to protect our country.
As I said, I believe that Medved was taking it in purely a literal way and didn't associate "closing the borders" with investigating terrorist who have exploited the legal ways to enter the country.
Technically, he's correct. The al Qaeda types aren't slipping in under the wire as they cross from Mexico. They're flying first-class into New York with Saudi passports and perfectly-valid Visas!
In the long run, however, all the enforcement in the world will only help for a little while when there are hundreds of people crossing the borders everyday.
I think the Canadian border is the one we should be protecting. All the Muslims are in Canada.
