A recent leaked Border Patrol document Darby CBP Leak Numbers Globe shows that tens of thousands of foreigners are caught sneaking into the US each year. For every one caught, certainly more get through-and NOT just from latin America. At the same time, Obama encourages a massive influx of illegals with very little or no documentation. On top of this we have unsavory characters from Mexico's drug cartels, and human smugglers coming through because they know they CAN.
And yet our border remains porous-with some claiming a secure border is racist, intolerant, a waste of time :roll:, etc. Drugs, and people can get through-and terrorists will exploit that as much as human smugglers and drug traffickers, I believe. We know terrorists HAVE gotten through-and its one reason why Homeland Security is on edge right now, expecting more attacks.
Can the US be safe from terrorist incursion with our current open border?
This is something that we need to think real hard about when the next election rolls around. Especially if we have a terrorist attack launched by terrorists who snuck across the border.
Some of our congress-critters have had plenty of time to spend trying to sabotage the ACA, but they couldn't find time to secure our borders.
