I have a hard time believing the government didn’t know this would happen after leaving our borders wide open….

[@nathanb7281]

Where’s the country wide wall Mexico paid for?

[@Anthonyc301]

@@nathanb7281 you been living under a rock? The administration stopped building the wall and opened borders going as far as sending the feds down that the TX national guard from blocking illegals from crossing the border.

On purpose and try Marshall Law thing

[@c.eb.1216]

On the wayback machine I saw people were yammering about how the Canadian border was a security risk and we needed a wall around it just after 9/11, no joke. Sometimes history rhymes and reflects.

[@davidthompson6636]

Ex-CIA? Not an observation, it’s a guarantee

[@VanSisean]

How much longer before Michael Morell is taking to the airwaves like Eswar Prasad extolling the benefits of CBDC adoption as one potential solution to stymie criminal and terrorist activity (as always, giving the MICIMATT more and more control over the lives of the proles), as he did in an April 2021 report co-authored with Josh Kirshner and Thomas Schoenberger?: "Blockchain technology is a powerful but underutilized forensic tool for governments to identify illicit activity and bring criminals to justice. One expert on the cryptocurrency ecosystem called blockchain technology a 'boon for surveillance'" (p. 5).

Maybe stop incentivising people for coming over here... that will help a whole lot

[@patrickm6012]

That would take destroying the economy. As long as there are jobs there will be immigration.

[@sailincat2822]

Re: _"stop incentivising people for coming over here"_ If you mean by that, help address the humanitarian disasters refugees are fleeing from, then I agree. If you mean make the U.S. less appealing to immigrants, the GOP is already doing their best to make the country less appealing to everyone, including sane U.S. citizens.

The response will echo it too. We haven't learned A THING.

Right? I know it isn’t our security.. I mean, we’re the superpower because we have strong democratic values so how could this be??

[@VanSisean]

Look up the likes of Omar Abdel Rahman (the "Blind Sheikh"); Ali Mohamed; Yasin al-Qadi's PTech; the "Visa Express" program at the US consulate in Jeddah; and David Coleman Headley, and see if you notice a pattern. For a deeper dive, you can consult the work of, e.g., Peter Lance, Joseph and Susan Trento, Trevor Aaronson, Emad Salem, and J. Michael Springmann.

[@AdamGbl95]

Interesting how we never hear about the northern border

[@VanSisean]

Even more interesting is how we never hear about the militants who have repeatedly gained privileged access and been waved past any of the security procedures for average people due to their existing ties to US security and intelligence services (e.g., the "Blind Sheikh," Ali Mohamed, Yassin al-Qadi's PTech, the "Visa Express" program in Jeddah, David Coleman Headley, etc., per the revelations of whistleblowers J. Michael Springmann, Sibel Edmonds, Robert Wright, John Vincent, Indira Singh, etc., and journalists such as Peter Lance, and Joseph J. and Susan B. Trento).
