Do you think that some terrorist have already crossed the mexican border into the U.S.?
962608
yes I do. Many of them. I think they are just setting back waiting to get the orders to start with the homocide belts like we have seen isreal go through. It will destroy our economy with a few strategically planned attacks.

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.

Americans don't only focus on Mexicans on the issue of immigration, which is what I'm assuming you're asking about.  Part of this issue are the unprotected borders between Mexico and the U.S., and if you recall, it has been per posed that a wall be built to help protect these areas.  There are many reasons for this, on of the most important is to stop illegal immigrants from passing, Mexican and otherwise.  It is very possible that people associated with Al Quaida and many other terrorist groups could enter Mexico and then the United States undetected by anyone.  What has been per posed by Bush and many others is that along with protection of our borders, there is a need for a worker program so that foreign people working in this country can be monitored, not prevented from entering.  I don't think that anyone denies that Mexicans and many others from foreign countries are a vital part of our workforce here in the U.S., but because of recent events, the United States must boost security along it's borders, ie, Mexico and Canada.  I think that the a majority of media attention is focused on Mexicans because there are so many people (of all nationalities) that come into the U.S. via the Mexican border.

It could all be resolved simply by posting troops on the border. Since 9-11, the rules have changed, if mexicans or whoever at any border can come across freely so can terrorists. I say troops on the border for national security.

Yes, I believe they are. It helps them undermine America. If these Mexicans become citizens, they can run for the senate or congress in 9 years. If that happens, we will definetly lose our freedoms. They will put their own people in power and them initiate a moslem takeover of our country. Islam is quickly becoming  a major religion in  Mexico, and will soon be here.

quote from cited link\nquote\nsmuggling\nThe US Government estimates that 500,000 illegal migrants are brought into the United States annually by organized alien smuggling networks; another estimated half-million enter without the assistance of alien smugglers. Most illegal migrants enter the United States overland from Mexico or Canada. \nAccording to US Government estimates, some 500,000 to 600,000 illegal migrants who entered the United States in 1999 were Mexican nationals, and another 225,000 were Central American nationals. \nChinese smugglers, known as snakeheads, often move aliens into the United States by maritime vessels, including offshore transfers of migrants, but also transit South and Central America, Mexico, and Canada. The US Government estimates that 30,000 to 40,000 Chinese were smuggled into the United States in 1999. \nAlien smuggling contributes to the broader problem of increasing numbers of foreign nationals illegally resident in the United States, as well as in other relatively prosperous countries, who are straining social and economic resources and contributing to rising crime and anti-immigrant sentiment. Illegal aliens undermine wages and working conditions for legal employees, increasing the potential health and safety risks to the work force. Illegal immigration also increases the burden and cost of some government social programs. \nunquote\n\nhttp://www.fas.org/irp/threat/pub45270chap2.html#4\n\nnote: and stop being so focused on mexico\nhere link topeople smuggling in England\nexerpt from cited link\nquote\nThe illegal immigrants, smuggled in from the Kurdish areas of Turkey, pay between £3,000 and £5,000 for journeys which often take months, said police. \nunquote\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4329374.stm\n\nAND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....ever hear of MS13??\nquote from cited link\nquote\nIn Texas and the Rio Grande area, MS-13 has become particularly profitable.

BOTH borders should be CLOSED!!!! But,since the MILLIONS of ILLEGALS are sneaking across the MEXICAN border,THAT is why it is such a great concern!!!!!!!!!!

Your question is, I think, why those politicians who claim that the Mexican border should be closed because of national security issues (instead of immigration issues) are not equally as concerned with the Canadian border?\n\nThe answer is complex, but I think that the main answer is that the "national security" rationalization for tightening the Mexican border is just an excuse. No would-be terrorist with half a brain would endanger a terrorist project that he and his cohorts have been working on for years by trying to cross the border from Mexico. That's preposterous. All the 9-11 operatives gained access into the country legally. Why not just slip through the Canadian border unnoticed? Or more effectively, why not just send over the guys who can get through our borders legally, or through legal borders with false documentation? The routes of entry are endless.\n\nAt the rate we're creating terrorists thanks to our mockery of a "war for democracy" in Iraq and the numerous human rights abuses our government has been engaging in, coupled with our self-serving, hypocritical, and uneven foreign policy in the Middle East, there's no reason that Islamic extremists wishing to wreak havoc in the U.S. should have to sneak across any borders to get here. There are so many of them by now, that surely Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups can recruit them easily and find easy legal ways to get them into the country without having to resort to illegal Mexican-American border crossings or other such nonsense. It's simply a matter of time.

Just like any other immigrant, they'd need to go through legal channels.  Otherwise, they'd just be another illegal immigrant.

i'm assuming you mean illegals. You have to give the guys from central america credit. They were all willing to die trying to get here. Most of them ride on freight trains accross mexico to get to the border. Many are maimed and killed trying to jump on and off the trains. Gangs and marauders rob and kill them all the way up the track. How many of us would be willing to die just to live here? We are all decendants of immigrants. As long as they are not criminals, i don't have a problem with them trying to get a little piece of the american dream.....

Yes, it is all those things.  And this is our government in collusion.  And most Americans are afraid of being uncaring if they say or think that we should secure the border so the terrorists stop walking across.   Think about it:  Most Americans cannot come to the point where they say we should secure our borders so that terrorists will stop walking in.  All they focus on is how mean it is to send poor people back to their country and how it is un-Christian to demand secure borders.  So, are we to understand that it is Christian-like to leave the border porous so terrorists can continue to flood in to put together dirty bombs to kill millions of Americans?  Is that what Christianity is all about?   You people - and you know who you are - cannot have it both ways even if you avoid the bad news.  It is still gonna happen and you people die as easily as the rest of us.  Stop being pathetic and think for yourself.\n\nNOTE TO ELPIBE:  READ THE QUESTION AGAIN.  MEXICO PROVIDES THE ENTRY POINT.  MEXICAN NATIONALS (TEENS AND YOUNG MEN) MAKE UP ALMOST ALL THE GANG HOMICIDES WHICH NUMBER IN THE HUNDREDS AND GROWING.

be suspicious, of anyone crossing your borders illegally... if it isn't a crime, it should be... if someone enters your home without permission, then it is trespass or burglary, if you are crossing a border without the knowledge of the relevant authorities, then you will of course be committing a crime. Any person who does this would of course also, be aware they are committing a crime... personally speaking I'd say if there is no absolute genuine reason for any person crossing a border, especially in this day and age of globalised terrorism, they should be deported, straight away, no messing about with paperwork... they should also be handed over too there native countries authorities... if someone is pleading persecution, then the question has to be asked... Why are they being persecuted in the first place? Was it because they themselves have committed a crime?\nIt's a hard question to answer, but every nation has a right to defend it's borders... \nThe real answer is quite possibly... it is already too late, as the enemy is already within!

At this point I believe so. We are in a war on terror officially. Any country that does not take our concerns seriously, need a wake up call. Mexico is one of them. We have every right to militarize our border when we are being invaded. And we are being invaded. The invaders carry drugs, diseases and are by their very nature counter culture. They cost the US billiions of dollars in untold ways and they threaten the culture in general. They are also, outside of the law of this country by entering in the way they do. All that said, I'm sure many are nice people.\nI would ask the question, "if someone put a gun to your head and blew your brains out, would it matter to you if they were a nice person?"\nWe ARE at war with these people and in a sense with Mexico and while it is not traditional, it is being fought for the same old things most wars are fought for. Power, control, money.

Yeah! They are people just like us...they are just called immigrants. Like the Mexicans, they're good people just like real u.s citizens. They're not over here causing trouble, they just want to make a better living for themselves. The Government is the one making them out to be "terrorists" undercover. But I got too in to that part, lol. But immigrants, are not bad people.
