Let's be real for one moment during this silly season.
The U.S.'s war on terrorism is a sham.
For years people along the southern border have dealt with drug and human smugglers. Unknown to most people in the U.S., some land owners along the southern border have had gun fights with drug and human smugglers.
If human smugglers are trafficing workers and sex workers, what makes anyone think they aren't trafficing terrorists?
What about the "Shoe Bomber"? Do we want to remember him? Do we care to think that the only reason that airplane wasn't blown out of the sky is because his shoes were wet?
Sham. I don't think so. Just asked the people on both sides of the equation who are actually being 'wracked' by it and not pontificating. I bet they don't think its a sham.
