Lots of food for thought there Bryanw92. It’s scary to think of how many similar plots have been ‘foiled’. I’m afraid if and when we are again attacked it will be because we have left ourselves vulnerable with our open borders.
Open borders are nothing. We give them student visas. They recruit from within our own borders at mega-mosques and storefront Islamic Centers. They won’t send in ignorant goat-humpers that stink across the border to attack. They’ll use some folks with H1B’s and radicalized blacks or college students for their next successful attack.
All of the clowns they’re using now are just their way of cleaning out the idiots from their lineup while keeping us scared, but not scared enough to implement some real protections. We’re in crowds all the time in the US. Malls, sporting events, churches, traffic jams, etc are all vulnerable and they want us to keep it that way.
