August 22, 200520 yr Author no, but the border to mexico is wide open and alot more terrorist would enter their then any other way.......they can enter through canada aswell. i never said anything about terrorist all being foreigners, but there are lots of one from other country's, ie islamic terrorist, we have american terrorsit aswell but we cant let the borders be open. I really don´t think open borders brings terrorism. Of course, US would be made of mexicans( and brazillians too ) if the government let them open. But it´s not a fact of terrorism, although it has a strong link...But they won´t come like this ( they didn´t came like this ). its what America is all about.... we can't change that.. its what we were founded on. I may have never been here if borders were closed. Yes.. these are different times.. but we can't go about changing our American ways just because of some terrorists. Its what they want... Exactly Camille! I would like to know how americans react or deal with those poor immigrants, who wants to have a better and wealth life, like Andrea said on the first page. You have an excellent point of view. I belive people in America should think just a bit more about that. But what Nick said it´s true: it isn´t right let the borders open ( it would be crazy nowadays ). People are too scared. I´ll give a hint about how americans could be a bit...let me say... free of illegal immigrants: Take just a penny from Iraq´s war and invest in legal jobs in Mexico. Having a good life in their own country, they won´t mind staying there, living a good life. :idea2: well with canada i think we do, and the border with mexico isnt secure taht much, i think more then the candain one but still...... Why have it closed in Canada? They are so peaceful.... :sneaky: hey, it´s Saxon America...not Latin America.
August 22, 200520 yr Mkay I wasn't sure what to write about this topic because it's a wide one. But I'll just (mis)quote Bruce Lee accept what's good, refuse what's bad, and don't forget to add something of your own. Btw Nick terrorist aren't just gonna jump out of your chimny, I mean it seems like the best thing is just to barricade yourself, close the boarders, and get yourself a gun.Your wiev just seem somewhat paranoid. :/

C'mon their are going to be many that will just walk in from mexico then try to fly in. they would be very very stupid not to do that. "You have an excellent point of view. I belive people in America should think just a bit more about that. But what Nick said it´s true: it isn´t right let the borders open ( it would be crazy nowadays ). People are too scared." its not about being scared, its about being smart, it like not locking your doors at night. its just plain stupid. we must lock our doors, but let the safe immagrants in as much as possible. "I´ll give a hint about how americans could be a bit...let me say... free of illegal immigrants: Take just a penny from Iraq´s war and invest in legal jobs in Mexico. Having a good life in their own country, they won´t mind staying there, living a good life. " we have plenty of jobs for immagrants. the thing is we cant have everone migrate to america, its just not reasonable, i mean c'mon we have to have some limits and all. im all for immagration, but like all good things you can have too much of it.

They are so peaceful.... :sneaky: hey, it´s Saxon America...not Latin America. I always thought it was anglo-america, apart from quebec. :P

IM NOT TALKING ABOUT BARRICADing america! im talking about having a safe way for immagrants to come in and filter out the terrorist. by having wide open borders its too dangerous, we can still ahve immagrants come in the legal way. im not paranoid, its called being smart, when terrorsit can just walk in your country and we've had a big problem with them, it would wise to stop them from doing that, we can do that for the most part and still have immagrants come into america. berricading ourselves would be STUPID! crying out loud

I mean why would terrorist bother to come to Mexico or Canada first and then enter the states, whilst I do agree that immigration should be regulated, I don't think that it would help MUCH to simply get a more tight boarder, but it's better than not.Most terrorist are workin' within the country anyway.
August 22, 200520 yr NO!!! because the one with mexico is not secure, anyone can practically walk in. so if jahidha al usama wants to start a cell in america its very likely he can just go to mexico and sneak into the u.s. thats the only problem, its not the immagrants, its the possibility of terrorist just walking into america.. its alot easier to just walk into america illegally then try to do it the right legal way. i mean if your gonna sneak out of your house, go out a window instead of walking by your dad at the front door.... if you see what im saying? :)
August 23, 200520 yr nick---have you ever crossed the mexican border??? cause they dont seem to open to me-----my family is from mexico city----to obtain a visa and a passport is really, really, i mean really hard---thats the legal way right now illegally----its even harder----thousands of people die each year trying to swim accross or walk through those big desserts---plus nowadays they have much much more security in the borders--day and night-----u have more chances of making it through the day than at night cause they have night vision goggles and warm body detectors-- part of my family came in legally and part of them illegally---by crossing the river and desserts----it is harsh---horrible so unless you live out here and know people who have crossed----u cant say the borders are wide open----cause they are not----for god's sake if they were----the whole mexican population would be up here----it is horrible living in mexico
August 23, 200520 yr I was an immigrant into Canada from Poland when I was 6. The state of the economy in Poland at the time (late 80s) was really bad, so my parents decided to move to a more stable place. I am really grateful for that because we made a solid life for ourselves here.

August 24, 200520 yr d it is horrible living in mexico NO IS NOT!! :angry: i dont know where you live andrea, but in mexico city which is where i use to live---it is horrible---to much bandalism, unemployment, low wages, and everything expensive
August 24, 200520 yr d "I know its hard, but its how it works, we must do what we have to protect our country and it will still let millions of immagrants in, were not changing america at all, just doing what america stands for in a safe way. the borders are still really open, not wide open but many people can get in and many terrorist can, its a simple fact. we must do more to protect our nations when the borders being as open as they are put us in danger... im sorry but thats how it has to go, we must do what we can to protect our nation without going against what our nation stands for and by keeping a closer watch on the border. to keep a much closer watch on the border is not umamerican at all, its the smart thing to do for the sake of america. i know the way you feel because of you and your family but im sorry." Yes--its safe to close the border and to keep track of who comes in and who doesnt----but dont say that mexican border is wide open cause you really dont know plus---i dont think terrorist would risk their lives walking miles and miles of pure dessert or swimming accross the river----they are pretty smart and patient to plan the attacks years before they execute them---so they'll get to this country in a more comfortable way---dont you think?
August 25, 200520 yr umm the mexican borders are pretty open, i do know. dont tell me i dont. i think terrorit would risk their damn lives if their main goal is to DIE for their damn cause! its not like ther afraid of death or anything. plus people use vehicles to smuggle immagrants in sometimes too... i think they will get in the easiest way the way it will help them the most, and that would be illegally, which would make them ALOT harder to track by teh u.s. goverement terrorist would be stupid not to sneak accross from the border.
August 25, 200520 yr Re: d it is horrible living in mexico NO IS NOT!! :angry: i dont know where you live andrea, but in mexico city which is where i use to live---it is horrible---to much bandalism, unemployment, low wages, and everything expensive well...i think the situation hasnt change, there are still low wages, and unemployment, bandalism and everything expensive, i live it every day, but still i love mexico you have to be here to understand it, thats my point of view
August 25, 200520 yr I'm not against immigrants but in Germany the immigrants have a better chance to get a job,because they are ceaper workers.if you say that in Germany you have to be very careul because of germanys dark history!
