There are those who claim that terrorists are streaming in across our southern border along with illegal Hispanics. But where are all these terrorists? The "underwear bomber" was flying in. Even the 9/11 terrorists were in the country legally or at least had entered the country legally. Other examples are the the Boston Bombers, the failed NY City bombing, and the VPI massacre. All in this country legally.
But nearly all the terrorists in this country are home grown beginning with McVey and the Oklahoma City bombing, and including Columbine High School, Aurora movie theater, and the latest Charleston, SC, massacre. Speaking of the latest one, the terrorist is a felon who could not legally buy a gun. Did he steal one? No, his father gave him a 45 caliber pistol for his 21st birthday! The father might be prosecuted giving a gun to a felon.
As bad as these mass murders are, they are but a small part of the murders committed each year in the U.S. (about 11,000*). There are also around 18,000 suicide deaths yearly by guns. Just like we accept around 30,000 deaths yearly by automobile in this country, it seems as if we have become used to a similar number of gun deaths also. Only mass murders make the news, and then we dwell on them for awhile before going back to normal. Illegal immigration of terrorists does not seem to be a problem in spite of wrrries by some people.
