????
We do have domestic terrorists, that said why is it unreasonable to assume that ME terrorists would use our southern border as an entry point?

Whatever it is will not be a simple "attack".

I believe it will be on a mass scale... a gamechanger, if you know what I mean. I believe it will be something we have not seen.

There is no need to hike across the desert to enter the U.S.

18/19 of the 9/11 terrorists arrived by plane at major airports, at different periods of times, on tourist visas. Only one was here on a student visa.

Just because that's the way it happened with 9/11 doesn't mean that it won't happen in some other fashion the next time. Our southern border is so porous that millions of illegals have been able to enter it undetected. Even the FBI Director has said that there have been those from known terrorist countries that have entered right along with migrants looking for work and disappeared into our country. Probably building sleeper cells as we speak and planning our demise.

A video with crazies is not proof.

Show me some credible links, otherwise it's bogus.

Mexico is like 96% Christian, probably more Christian than the US. They have altars to the Virgin Mary in their homes for Christ sake.

Most illegals don't hike through the desert, it's pretty cheap to get a border crossing card from the black market. Or ride over in a truck or train boxcar.

What's the big deal anyway? You'll grant them all amnesty every few years in any case.

Achmed: "I am amnesty American, here's my card, you please to sell me that truckload of fertilizer you infidel dog".

Homeland Security has been a money pit joke from day one and politicians on neither side of the aisle want to secure the southern border...votes for one,slave wage labor for the other...horsecrap is all any of it is and they couldn't care less what the majority of Americans want.
