Is the Southern Border a Security Threat?
14th August 2018
Conservatives have been saying for a long time that our porous southern border poses a security risk. Over the years there have been multiple news stories about Middle Easterners with terrorist connections being apprehended at the border, or after crossing the border. But because these crossings haven’t resulted in successful terrorist attacks, they have gotten essentially no notice.
Meanwhile, Democrats are committed to the view that there is no reason to want a secure border other than racism. This is pretty much insane–countries have wanted secure borders for centuries, and until now no one thought there was anything untoward about it–but it is the media narrative, and anything that contradicts the Democrats’ narrative will not be publicized.
I’d say they both are.
