Can terrorists attacks happen in the US with this open border?

[Anonymous]

Islam becoming more radicalized than it ever has been, and the border is wide open.

Yes, including domestic terrorism such as the 168 fatalities which resulted from Yankee Timothy McVeigh's fertilizer bomb (appropriate, since McVeigh, his cohort Terry Nichols and their followers were full of fertilizer) detonated at Oklahoma City's Alfred P. Murrah Building Apr.19,1995.

It's an obvious statement, but terrorist attacks will happen wherever there are terrorists. The only way to deal with them is by wrapping them in pig skins before they are buried alive. I can't think of anything else that scares them!.

Beware of the Chinese utilizing the tunnels in the southern border along with the Mexicans.

It can and will happen, and Trump will be blamed.

I mean the only meaningful attack ever happened with airplanes. So I Don't see border wall or security really controlling the situation.

[NaultD]

Even 9/11 was a gap of security wanting to brown nose the new president that took longer then extended with gore vs bush.

Our 2001 standards of national security just didn't want to suck off the new boss more then doing there Job 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

"Terrorists attacks" can happen everywhere, how open or closed the border is wouldn't stop them.

[SolitarySolace]

Well crime and murders have obviously gone up sense the border was opened so it wouldn't surprise me if a terrorist attack happens as a result

[DryGermanGuy]

Not quite.

It is not a question of will there be a terrorist attack the question is when will it happen.

[OtterMan68]

did 9/11 need open borders?
Did the OKC bombing require open borders?
Do mass shootings require open borders?

[DextroShade]

Yes, we have seen multiple terrorists come across, including that one guy who said "You will know my name!"

And Islam is not common in Mexico, Central America, or South America. So the "open border" really has no relationship to that danger.

[Twalli]

Also it's a conservative religion.

[AngryCarl]

You're worried about Islam so you want to stop Mexicans and Venezuelans entering the country? Do you even know who you're afraid of?

[jjj101010]

It can happen with or without open borders. The 9/11 attacks were done by people entering the country legally

[Agape93]

Sure, but that can happen easily regardless

[jahaims]

Duh.

[BarryLiverstone]

Border isn’t open

@BarryLiverstone
It sure as hell is! Where did you get your information from? America's border is wide open. How do you think over 10 million illegal aliens got into America 🇺🇸? By planes?🙄

[BarryLiverstone]

If the southern and northern borders were both open then so many people would be crossing each year
