Fears are growing in the USA. FBI warns of an attack

The border is the Right's battleground royale. So much so, you've seen the fierce fight they've taken to this "horrific problem" since taking the House. Fact is, they want it. They need it to fuel Fox viewer's ignorant minds.
Does this need to be spelled out here?
The claim is that "foreigners and illegals" sneaking into the country are a main threat of terrorism.
Someone posted that this is incorrect, it is American citizens (which is accurate).
I posted an American citizen who perpetuated one of the worst acts of terrorism in the past 50 years, who "would say that was bullshit" and it's "all foreigners" we need to worry about.
McVeigh didn't think he was, himself, a terrorist. Which is what the MAGA's think - they believe they are "fighting for our freedoms", because they are brainwashed zealots. Like McVeigh was.
Consistent with the post that it is "illegal immigrants" we need to most worry about.
And I'm not saying we cannot have "immigrants" who are risks (e.g. 9/11); but NONE of the 9/11 attackers "snuck over our border". They entered this country legally.
You won't admit to it. Tell us, when did you surrender, or were you ever on the plus side?
I agree with all of this and you need to re-read what you responded to. The person you responded to said pretty much every attack in this country has either come from a resident or someone who was otherwise here legally.
Which is why I said "Timothy McVeigh" would disagree.
He WAS a domestic terrorist. And folks LIKE him will continue to claim "foreigners" are the threat here, when they are not.
Does sarcasm not work, anymore?
And WTF does this have to do with the Right's 24/7 obsession, which was my point?
In context, it fills conservative airwaves, House committee meetings (with deliberate nonaction), House floor time, with no action (deliberate), Senate committee and floor time, and media interview time.
It is a fundraising trove.
It would be politically disastrous to solve the problem.
I guess I get what you’re saying, but that’s a weird way to come at the argument. It certainly read like you were using McVeigh as a counter example, not McVeigh’s belief system.
Fair enough.
It's also true that when orange man was president D's were pretty concerned about the border situation. Kids in cages and such...
That concern seems to have evaporated for some reason
Funny how what these parties are concerned with changes depending on who controls the White House.

You quoted a post that agrees with your point and said it was bullshit. You misread.

It would also be easier if women's sports weren't filled with boys competing too, right?

And whose fault is that? Republicans themselves ding ding ding.
But in the past few years, the FBI’s reputation has cratered among Republicans. The most recent Pew numbers show that 53% of GOP voters now view the bureau unfavorably. Other polls show similar results.
At the heart of the decline are perceptions that the bureau has unfairly targeted Mr. Trump. Half of all GOP respondents to a Pennsylvania State University poll taken last November agreed with the statement “Many FBI agents do not enforce the law fairly, because they are biased against former President Trump and his agenda.”

Once seen as ‘conservative,’ FBI now faces attacks from the GOP
Trust in the FBI has been plummeting among Republicans during the Trump era, as voters see institutions as being weaponized for political purposes.

And why do they believe that, just because Trump what to believe.... it's not my fault Republicans are morons for believing him, I don't make the rules
Rico and MAGAts love fear! Fear is what makes them relevant. Rico….I’m an old :”Roosevelt Democrat”……Let me tell you one thing Rico….”You have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
Is that what fox news told you?
Fair enough.

Kids in cages. Children separated taken their parents. Those were humanitarian issues. For god's sake.
Large Muslim population in Brussels, it is a hotbed for radicalization. It is where the Paris shooters hid in plain sight.
Southern border. JFC. So, a terrorist group sophisticated enough to wreak havoc in the U.S. is stupid enough to go to Mexico, cross the border, either clandestinely, which is nearly logistically impossible, or by surface transportation, which exposes them to inspection.
Or, more logically, simply purchase materials here and do their maleficence. Or if they want to cross a border, CANADA. Or come from either ocean.
But, gotta keep it up with the Southern border bullshit.
You obviously have never been on the southern border. I was hunting down there once and looked at my GPS and realized I was in Mexico.
No fences, just miles of desert. It can be crossed by anyone with a canteen and a compass.
Our southern border maybe the easiest in the world to cross.
I’d say record migrant deaths at the border would qualify as a “humanitarian” issue.
Oh….and there’s this.
Biden Brings Back Family Separation—This Time in Mexico
U.S. agents no longer tear apart parents and children, but families are having to make painful decisions—just on the other side of the border.

U.S. border agents are separating migrant children from their parents to avoid overcrowding, inspector finds
An independent court monitor said migrant children as young as 8 were separated from their parents for several days to avoid overcrowding in a Texas holding facility.

Family separations at the border continue under Biden
Earlier this year, a mother was separated from her 10-year-old daughter, her 18-year-old son and 18-year-old stepson after she fled El Salvador

There are many borders easier to cross throughout the world. For example the border between Canada and the US is significantly less monitored and easier to cross.
I've been there and what does this have to do with my point? Go to Canada. Wilderness...no one watching. Get off a boat offshore and walk into the country.
Fox viewers are as dumb as the network targets.
Get over your Mexico psychosis. Change channels. Grow up.
Well Canada isn’t one of the most corrupt nations on the planet for one. In Mexico it is illegal to own anything over a 38 but cartel members openly walk down the street with automatic weapons.
The cops there are basically an organized crime syndicate. So yes, paying them to let you in is much easier than Canada dumb ass.
You just know that your parties position of an open border is going to result in an inevitable terror attack on American soil and you’re attempting to deflect responsibility.

Did you read the articles you posted?
Of course not.
Migrant death qualify as "humanitarian"?
binsfleld, try to equate the Orange Turd's and Biden's policies. Neither created the immigration problem. A President doesn't have the authority to fix it. It's cannon fodder for political reasons and Fort Knox for the Right.
They won't address it. The "Wall" is monumental, international embarrassment, worthy of the Orange Turd's trademark. The Central American conflicts are a passing event and if the "Wall" is built it will be a rusting legacy of America's racism, intolerance and hatred.
WTF does cartels have to do with it?
"Inevitable attack on American soil". You must have some incredible intelligence you can share with everyone.
Or maybe you read heard this on Fox, or one of the other powerhouse sewer channels.
