In the Netherlands a teacher tweeted that half his class was cheering when they learned about the Brussels attacks (muslim teenagers) and how difficult it is to teach and witnessing this and not able to say anything.

Shortly after the tweet he was called out of the class room by 3 police officers who told him not to tweet something like this as it can cause hate and issues. The teacher tweeted the entire ordeal and shared it with his full name on Facebook.

The PC is sick and it is helping the terrorist!

Built a wall there too. The more wall around the border the better but only in places where it is needed.

Lucky you. I've been burglarized 3 times in 20 years. Twice by illegals and once by a druggie, anchor kid. Thankfully they were all caught but now my place has to look like a fortress.

The point is a wall is literally stone age technology, i don't have a problem securing the border but a wall is a feel good waste of money. The most conservative estimates are in 12B+, it seems to me that they could put it out to bid and companies will come up with better solutions than a wall, for a fraction of the cost you could sling fiber across the border, build a self healing mesh that would allow you to place sensors, pressure plates etc.n

I would say that putting a contiguous wall around the USA is not a logical or effective tactic.

Sure, we need to implement a strategy that stops as many as possible from illegally entering the USA. But remember, almost half of the people in the USA illegally, came here legally. The visa entry/exit tracking program should be refined, fully-implemented and enforced. People here illegally should not be able to do much of anything...work, government-bennies, licenses, etc, etc.

The many things that need to be done to severely limit illegals in the USA....will NEVER happen.

That's the difference between Western Europe and the US. Countries like the Netherlands are great because of their openness as a society, but it's starting to bite them in the ass because as they welcome all people (Jews, Muslims, gays, etc), they open the door to those who are intolerant. It's also why terrorist groups, who may hate the US more, will attack European countries because they are less militant than we are.
These countries are going to have to reevaluate themselves, and decide whether they want to remain tolerant of intolerance. Same goes for liberals in the US (something Bill Maher has ranted about for awhile now)...if you don't defend free speech, tolerance and the rights of women and excuse it as "we have to respect their culture/religion", are you truly a progressive?

When are you starting the wall along the 3000+ miles of Canadian border, and if not, why not?

When we start having millions of illegal aliens flooding our northern border.
