Mexico is not the true problem for US security. The problem that makes the US a target of terrorism is its policies imposed over other countries which clearly violate their sovereign rights. Outside the US, Americans are perceived as people who only care about themselves, their business and their money. A good lot of American policies imposed over other countries have been clearly a violation of the rights of democracy in those countries, just to favor some major US corporations. Bush should be spending more time trying to make peace than invading other countries and attacking other nations because their ways are different than ours.

It would probably be more symbolic than anything.  The Sears Tower is the tallest building in the United States, and terrorists are into symbolism and such.  That's why they attacked the WTC - it was the symbol of America's economic might.  The Pentagon was attacked because it's the symbol of America's military might.

I actually don't blame either one. Both are victims, in a way. Our economic system seems to demand the illegals and the economic system of the illegals seems to demand that they sneak in here and take the jobs. We're all messed up. Sorry, I have to tell the truth according to how I see it.

To the guy above me.\n\nThat isn't our fault. Mexico needs to fix itself not just send its people to USA illegaly. I do feel sorry for them but I also don't want something like 9-11 to happen again.

Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, "where are the 85 billion?"  They also  contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.  According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!      \n\nTherefore, the "March 25th Coalition against HR4437 in Los Angeles," the organizers of the mega march of almost 2 million on March 25th, has called for an emergency videoconferenced meeting on April 8th between Los Angeles and any city that wishes to join the efforts toward "El Gran Paro Americano 2006."  The following meeting will take place in Chicago on April 22nd, we ask that all that wish to participate and be a part of a national effort on May 1st and beyond, to attend by finding facilities in your areas that can hold the meeting, technologically.

I don't think anyone is blaming illegal immirgrants for 911, I think your confusing their concern for another 911 happening because of our lose borders. \n\nRight now it would be easy for a terrorist to travel past our borders and attack us. We have to tighten our borders to protect ourselves from attack, protect our economy and just to make sure our laws are not being ignored. \n\nIf we were attacked tommorow by a terrorist that crossed our boarders, you would be shouting that we should have known and this was preventable for years. Mentalitys like yours that only focus on hind-sight is the reason we were complacent pre-911, and it is scary to think we are already drifting backwards.

I agree with, bigman2006.  Terrorism isn't just bombing places and people.  A terrorist destroys lives and has a personal agenda, such as, Bush.  Bush doesn't care about the American people but cares about big business and the rich.  Outsourcing of jobs is destroying the American dream.

No! Our best defense against terrorist attacks is to secure intelligence help from our allies, of course we now need to rebuild some, and rebuild "US intelligence" (An Oxymoron).\n\nIf we would keep our noses out of other peoples business and let business do their own dirty work most would would have no reason to launch an attack. If 9/11 happened the way they say it happened, and I have a lot of doubts about that, we knew about it according to the government. One guy was being tailed at the time by an FBI agent. (so they say) Many that the US claims to be the terrorists on the hijacked planes, I think 9, are still alive and well.\n\nThere are no guarantees in stopping one, it is impossible, but there are ways to minimize the threat, which we have not done.\n\nAs long as we support Israel and give them aid and weapons, we are going to be a target. I don't mind doing that, but there is a price to pay and those who think not are having  an Ann Coulter nightmare..\n\nYou can't make yourself the most hated nation in the world and not expect people not to come after you. I haven't seen any attacks on China.

Have you ever tried to get visas into other countries?  Some are just as difficult.\n\nThe general fear which pervades many Americans (and we're not the only ones) is that new immigrants will upset the balance that we have.  It will drive up unemployment, and people who live here will  be replaced by cheap labor.  \n\nNow they have the "potential terrorist" excuse to also increase their immigration fears.

why in the world do you think that any one would be "DUE"\nan attack in the US.???????

Yes, absolutely! Someone has got to protect the American citizens from "who knows what" could be crossing that open door into the USA.  Illegal immigrants do it every day, why couldn't a terrorist? I am all in favor of building a wall or fence there.\n\n I believe the protests and the waving of the Mexican flag is a slap in the face of those of us who give our allegience to the USA. They do not have any plans of assimilating, their plan is to reconquor and I for one will join a 'vigilante' group and fight for keeping the USA way of life, if it should come to that. They are as much an invader as a terrorist. They steal from our future by abusing our country's Assistance programs. Programs we, as hard working legal US American citizens, provided for OUR future generations, not a piggy bank for thieves to steal from and abuse like it is theirs. If US Americans don't open their eyes, they're going to wake up one day and it's going to be gone, it will be too late. their grandchildren will be living like those illegal immigrants were in Mexico. The USA will be the same type of desolate poor country.

The purpose of the protests is to show the power of the "immigrant community" by boycotting businesses and turning up for rallies in large numbers.\n\nThe organizers have done an excellent job of convincing a huge number of people that this is an anti-immigrant (legal and illegal) issue, not an illegal immigration issue.\n\nUnfortunately for the organizers, here in Southern California the only visible effect on the community at large was that rush hour was a breeze.  The freeways were as empty as if it had been a weekend.\n\nThe economic impact was mainly in the Hispanic communities as all of their businesses were shut down for the day.  Outside of that, they world moved on just fine.

Yeah, I read that on Fox News this morning.  I think it would be a tremendous deterrent to illegals trying to enter our country.  I hope the employers who lure the illegal workers will be targeted.  separately, of course.

After they took to our streets, May 1, they created a backlash which they will never see the end of.\n\nThis ripple has become a storm and soon will be a tsunami of unequal proportions.\n\nThe middle class is the power class and as we unite through joining pro-American organizations and spending our money saving our heritage, we will be a force not to be reckoned with!\n\nTo quote a Patriot....."be afraid....be very afraid"

Life would go on... I don't think America is going to fall apart without any one minority (not that I have anything against Hispanics, or minorities in general)... I suspect this is in response to 'what would happen if illegal immigrants get mad and leave the USA.  This seems to be the line the media is running with these days, but the mass protests on May 1st didn't affect the economy in any substantial manner (the 10cent hike in gas prices has done far more than they could hope to do), heck it even made my day better, since a segment of the population wasted their time making fools of themselves protesting in the streets instead of impeding traffic on the interstate...
