"Yeah such people crossing the border as tim mcveigh and johnny jihad(john walker lindh).
Oh yeah let's not forget the shoe bomber, richard reeves, who was trying to blow up his foot crossing the Rio Grande."

No matter how hard you try Dane, ignoring the problem will not make it go away.

If AQ wholly intends on bombing the U.S. again, via planes, then why are they ALSO trying to get in through Canada? What's the point if they don't have the bomb-making materials or ability to obtain same once they're in the U.S.

They wouldn't be coming through the northern borders, either, if there wasn't some nefarious reason for trying to come into the U.S. other than via plane.

Think about it....Do you think there where ALWAYS coming into the US via US only flights?

They weren't. It makes a certain amount of sense to try to vary the ways you get to a certain place.

They entered legally, their student visas had expired.
Therefore, they were here illegally.

It seems as though you think that their only focus is using planes as a means to either get in or bomb another plane or use it as a missile again.

I am putting aside the planes as the only method/means to achieve their goals. It's very possible they will continue to find a way to bomb our citizens, in this country, regardless of a plane.

Look abroad; they love to bomb hotels. They don't need aircraft, every time, to transport either themselves or the bomb material to achieve their goals.

CONGRESSIONAL IMMUNITY UNDER THE SPEECH AND DEBATE CLAUSE The framers sought in various ways to guarantee the independence of each of the three branches. The President was protected against criminal prosecutions while in office, answerable only in an impeachment trial with a super-majority required to convict. Members of the federal judiciary were given lifetime tenure, with a guarantee that there compensation would not be reduced. To ensure free discussion of controversial issues in Congress, the framers immunized members of Congress from liability for statements made in House debate: for their "speech or debate" they "shall not be questioned in any other place." In 1979, in Hutchinson v Proxmire, the Court considered whether the immunity for Senate and House debate extended beyond the floor to cover press releases and statements made to the media. The Court concluded that the Speech and Debate Clause protected only official congressional business, not statements for public consumption. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/separationofpowers.htm

Probably one of those "secret" jails is where they're being held. Hope so, anyway.

they have to get here somehow....

I wasn't talking about using the planes as weapons...I was talking about just getting to this country.

Gotta credit my wife here, with the anology of the whole "all 19 were here legally" song and dance:

"Just because you're son already stole our tv, doesn't mean we shouldn't lock the door at night."

Pretty good one.

I wonder if the civilian border watch had a hand in this?

I hadn't thought about that. Another reason for the media to ignore her statement.

Getting into this country, obviously, would be via plane, car, boat, or foot. They don't need to fly directly to the States from the Middle East. Their flight can take them directly, of course, of to the countries north or south....which then leads to a vehicle, and probably less desirably, foot.

With open borders, as they now exist, if millions can and do come illegally through the southern border, obviously AQ can too.

Though some think they might prefer to come through the northern border, that doesn't mean it's not easier for them to come through the southern border. With their darker coloring, they could easily appear to be Hispanic and allowed through, if they have the proper forged paperwork/visa, identifying themselves as Mexican.

And if you think that's impossible that they would be mistaken as a Mexican, I personally know of dark-skinned Italians who were stopped and questioned because the Border Patrol didn't believe them at first that they were NOT Mexicans....I was with these people: my uncle and cousin.
