Not the same nor better

With respect to the Kaarlo Tuomi post recently, it should be noted that back then, it was actually quite difficult to fool the FBI. Tuomi was trained as well as the Soviets could train him to be an American who could fit in. But all the training didn't get him far into the USA.

Therein lies the difference. These days, the border is unguarded. Anybody who wishes us ill can get in. But at the height of the Cold War, a highly trained agent couldn't get into the USA without being detected. This is a change, and it is not for the better.

Those who wish for open borders should reflect upon that. We are opening ourselves up to another 9-11 type event. Instead of chasing after malefactors abroad, this government we have today considers its own citizens to be a threat. But you have to ask yourselves this: a threat to what? Our own safety? If they cared so much about that, we'd have secure borders. These people do not tell us what they consider a threat, and why it is a threat. In my opinion, it is only a threat to themselves. This "threat" isn't illegal at all, it is our right.

Because they are not the state. If they went away, the state remains. If it were a Democracy, as these people claim, that change wouldn't have to be violent. Indeed, by making any threat to themselves as a threat to the state, they are making peaceful change impossible. If any occurs, it is either because they want it to be so, or they want to make it necessary in order to use force to impose their will.
