The Demonizing of Illegal Immigrants

[E20]

Yes it has!!

After 9/11 they caught a Middle Eastern native in Seattle. He was planning to blow up the Space Needle. He was caught in the U.S. In Seattle, Washington.

Where did he come in from??

Canada.

It must have gone unmentioned, because I didn't hear a thing about it. If it was RIGHT after 9-11, then maybe it wasn't given as much coverage, because they covered 9-11 for like a month straight, non-stop. Also, I don't think border/immigration issues were rampant back then as it is today.

So then why is the government only worrying about the southern border? I haven't heard of terrorists sneaking in through there. Because obviously it takes a terrorist attack to focus on the canadian border but it takes hard working people coming here to work to focus on the southern border, nice double standard.

The problem is illegal immigrants moreso than terrorists and most illegals are coming from down south.

First of all, it was all over the news. Once again, it may be because you were too young at the time.

Secondly, this border/immigration issue is only important because we have a big election comming up. This issue will die when the election is over.

And, illegal imigrants pose a greater danger/threat than terrorists.

That's just too funny.

You should go on a comedy tour.

When you're talking about immigration, I don't include terrorists in the discussion, because that's a whole another discussion -- Terrorsim. You wanna stop and halt the traffick of people coming in here illegally which is what is happening down south, not up north.


I never said Immigrants > Terrorists in terms of danger.

[nsrammstein]

So Hard working illegals pose a greater threat than a member of al-qaeda?

If we are going to put up a wall it should be put up on both borders

The Space Needle plot was before 9/11. It was a Y2K thing - Seattle cancelled their public millennium celebration over it.

I'm pretty sure they busted the guys on a ferryboat border crossing from Canada, too.

You are right my friend.
I'm still working on a hang over.

But, I remeber them arresting one of the principal agents somewhere near Seattle.

Let's not forget that the Radical Islam Cell that was on the verge of staging a fertilizer bomb threat also called Canada their home...

This was last year or early this year can't remember when.... The fact remains that when in comes to terrorist concerns the northern border is primed to be the bigger risk. The Narcs run their business on the southern border.
