Intelligence that "strongly suggests" that Al Qaeda operatives have considered using the Mexican border as an entry point was cited in written testimony by Adm. James M. Loy, the deputy secretary of homeland security. But he wrote that there was "currently no conclusive evidence" that this had succeeded.
I am all about making sure that people from Mexico who want to work in the US get a chance to do that work. I will not, though, say that their right to work overwhelms our need to protect our borders from terrorists. In terms of immigration policy I believe that protecting the US from terrorists has to be the driving force in any future changes. Isn't this just a big duh?
