You could've taken the short route and just said "terrorism works"...
You know the 9/11 hijackers flew into the country on valid visas and passports.
A "big fence will keep them out", gimme a break!
" visas and passports" issued under the rules of the limp dicked clinton administration.
and no, they were NOT valid.
they had all overstayed their tourist visas, or violated the requirements of their student visas, etc etc etc. if our immigration laws were prosecuted with half the vigour used in prosecuting potheads, all those clowns would have been deported or in slam long before their plot could come to fruition.
if we actually used our immigration laws as written yes, it would keep them out
who is prohibited from entering the US?
criminals
undesirables (like say radical moslems)
people from hostile nations (unless they are defecting)
unskilled social burdens (like idiots who couldnt even hold down a job driving a taxi)
those who are carrying infectious diseases
anti-american radicals
anarchists
the insane
but none of those laws are prosecuted.
we dont quarantine new arrivals any more, not even if they are obviously sick.
you can become a US citizen without ever learing english,
you can stay forever on a 2 week tourist visa cuz nobody will ever look for you
you dont even need a visa, you can just go to canada and walk across the border (or mexico)
real border security, like say, that used by mexico on their border with guatemala, would keep most of the fuckers out, and using our existing laws properly would keep out almost all of the rest.
but if even on gets through thats sufficient for you to declare the entire exercise a waste of money, and demand the borders be cast open again.
cuz youre stupid.
