Well what do you know. What we have talked about several times --- that a soft border with Mexico is a terror threat...that a weak border anywhere can be exploited by our enemies(usually prompting a charge of racism because 'mexicans had nothing to do with 9/11') --- is now the reason for the new terror alert: "Law enforcement officials say that Al Qaeda planned to send terrorists across the Mexican border in to the United States to conduct suicide attacks..."
As we have said repeatedly, this is not an issue about Mexicans...not an issue about Canadians...not an issue about Cubans...it's an issue about a border that is not secure. If our borders are not secure, we are not secure.
Terrorists used our openness against us...now they seek to use our political correctness. We have to get over this way of thinking. We have to see border issues without the passion of our race or ethnicity.
