They have not and they will not.
An immigrant is here to make a better life for himself, or because of family. The pose no threat, never did, never will.
A terrorist is here to wreck havoc, they are not concerned with immigration laws, they would not bother with such nonsense. They would come here like they did before AS TOURISTS. There is no need to attempt to cross the border illegally, they can get detected and deported or they could die in the process of entering the country, that would be an idiotic waste of resources for the terrorist organization. However, as a tourist all they have to do is come in disguised among 61 million tourist a year, a much better, cheaper and easier route.
Nobody checks tourists nor should they and there are tens of millions of them. Thousands of guards patrol the border and there are only about 300,000 trying to enter the country a year, which route would you take?
No changes on immigration law or policy will or should affect US national security.

HR 6061 passed by congress today. Now it goes to the Senate. It asks for 2 tiered fence along the boarder. Its an emergency measure that would help take the necessary steps to address the crossing of our boarders. If it passes in the Senate, President Bush would sign it, or not. Depending on his mood for the day. Lets keep our fingers crossed, at least its a step in the right direction!

We need more than just border security, we need true enforcement and visa/employment tracking within the country to keep tabs on people. The illegals amongst the 9/11 plane crew overstayed visas, and police who stopped 4 of them for tickets after their visas expired never asked for the visas or regarding immigration status. Local law enforcement not only needs leeway to enforce, but restrictions against declaring sanctuary.
I’ll get back to this. It deserves a thoughtful response.

seriously, it isn’t about national security is all about being able to control every aspect of the average everyday life. Next thing, everyone will have chips with all their info, DOB, SS#, meds, allergies, DL#, bank accounts, swipe your hand and they will own you. That’s where is heading

I think they are linked. We live in a Changed World, and foisting off your poor on some other country has been the ‘easy out’ for countries like Cuba and Mexico for years. That ‘easy out’ has prevented them from evolving nationally to the point where they can support all their people.
The May-Day mexican ‘parade’ basically illustrated for all and sundry that we’ve got a lot of mexican citizens that’ve taken up residence in our country, but still basically hold allegiance to Mexico. Ironically, the illegal immigrants themselves have made the strongest possible case for improving immigration enforcement. If ya wanna be an american citizen, fine, but do it the right way, do it the legal way, and leave all that other stuff behind, or don’t bother. 50 states, no more no less, other countries need to work a lot harder to fix their own problems,
and we need to enforce our border laws, simple as that.
