If more terrorists are on the way, WHY hasn't the wall been built?

Question

Today's news says Al Queda openly admits it plans to attack the US soon, facilitated by inserting more operatives into this country. Why is the barn door still open? There's a snake in the yard and some fool won't shut the door! A second benefit would be to cut off the illegals traipsing across the border. So, now we have TWO very GOOD reasons to build the wall and patrol it.Three, if you count drug trafficing. Why hasn't this been done yet? Instead, we increase the tracking down of immigrants and visitors who have visa issues. Brilliant! That's just laziness. If they have a visa, we have their name and address. The ones giving us the trouble HAVE no Visas! Who would give an Middle Easterner a Visa to go to pilot school? Instead he learns a few phrases of spainish and passes himself off as a mexican illegal to get in. Closing the door will stop them both. There need be no 'racial profiling'.

Answer 1

FYI, terrorists are sometimes American and name one that came in ilegally through the southern border... Didn't think so.
Some even come in through Canada, where's the wall there??? You say you're not racist but your question says otherwise.

Answer 2

i'm happy to make certain which you realize not all Muslims are terrorists and thank you presently approximately your question what's going on is this is any different way Pakistan has terrorists in it and that they are shifting to Afghanistan so particularly to guard Afghanistan than yh yet what approximately Pakistan then it particularly is a win loose and any different way is lose win and additionally in the event that they did then it would take a protracted time to make terrorist may be long previous by ability of then yet what in the event that they make the wall in time what's to assert they won't get a bomb plant it and blow the wall down. i like your thought it particularly is a physically powerful one in spite of the shown fact that it shouldn't paintings for each man or woman

Answer 3

The wall has not been built because we have a Democratic Congress (don't get me wrong, I'm a Democrat) that is more interested in getting and keeping votes of the Hispanics than the American people. We have a President that wants all the illegals to be able to come in this country, example guest workers, to appease his big business buddys who want CHEAP labor. We have the religious organizations, mostly Catholic, hiding the illegals. Mexicans, as far as I know, are mostly Catholic. That, in a nutshell, is why the wall isn't getting built.

Answer 4

Because terrorists have been on the way for 230 years -- and longer for countries that have been here longer.

Building a wall is not going to stop them -- unless you surrounded the entire country, and stopped all air and sea traffic as well. And building a wall, even 1000 miles, would take years, so it will have no effect on anything happening "soon".

Answer 5

Why isn't it being done? It's because we've got too many idiotic politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle who are trying to pander to the illegal alien CRIMINALS. You've got the dems who are catering to them because they want hispanic votes, and you've got the reps who are trying to cater to corperations that value illegal aliens for 'cheap labor.'

Neither side of the aisle, as a whole, cares about securing our borders or making this country safer. There are exceptions, for sure. But they are, by far, in the minority.

If you ask me, if we want something done, this congress needs a complete overhaul. Vote out ANYONE who refuses to secure our borders, whether they're democrat or republican. And let's vote for people who REALLY care about this country and REALLY will do what they promise.

80% of the American People made their voices heard on the immigration issue. Let's take that same percentage to the polls in 2008!

Answer 6

I can tell you why the government does not want to spend the money to do so. They want to spend it on something else. I fill a wall at the mexican and canadian border is one of the most important homeland security issuse the US faces and needs to be adressed very soon.

Answer 7

I can assure you we as Mexicans will be the first ones to tell you if we see Hammed and Ali trying to sneak across the border with a towel on their head , look at this from my point of view , we Hispanics are the most affected by terrorism , due to the 9/11 attacks . our amnesty did fly out the window . and then we got accused of been terrorist .,it is not fair , to be blamed for another races mistake , thanks friend. now read the 9/11 final report U may learn something new. best regards.

Answer 8

All 19 of the terrorists that flew planes into buildings were legally here they flew into the US on a plane and we gave them permission to do it, so how is a wall going to prevent terrorists from coming? also, every terrorist that has attempted to enter the US has tried to enter through Canada. The one caught planning to blow up LAX in Los Angeles came through Canada, have you stopped to ask yourself why a terrorist would come through Canada to get to Los Angeles instead of through Mexico which is much closer? I think that answer might be a good dose of reality of where the danger actually lies and it isn't on the Southern border.
