And that we only catch a fraction of the total of illegal crossers.<div>Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of congress; but I repeat myself. Mark Twain</div>

I think you have hit on a very important point. As each day goes by the chances of enough bomb grade nuclear material falling into the wrong hands increases. This is not an issue of technology but of material and the will to use such a bomb. The technology is there, so is the will. The only lacking component is the material. So, we need to assume worse case and secure our borders to the best of our ability.
I wish it were otherwise, but a nuclear device can be carried in a small package size. Also, it can be made very dirty....introduction of radioactive materials that have very long half life. This is common information available world wide. You cannot expect to have security when you don't even know who or what is coming into our Country. Instead we have a President that is more interested in the rights of illegals than securing our borders.

Some pretty smart fellows in a think tank out here in California believe the following: It's not a matter of if, but when terrorists will set off dirty nuclear devices. The experts feel they will set off two rather than just one for maximum terror effect. Furthermore, the experts believe they will choose the shipping ports for maximum damage to our economy. Can you even imagine the fear that would permeate this country following the deaths of several hundred thousand people in one fell swoop? Our lives would be totally changed forever, in ways we cannot even envision.

There are now several articles and some books out there written by leading scientist that are saying if we don't control the material then we are bound to have an attack using a WMD here in our own backyard.
I think this lack of border security will come back to bit Bush in the...well backside, but if this happens a lot of Innocent Americans will have to pay a heavy price for Bush's dereliction of his primary duty.

Considerable amounts of fissionable Nuclear materials have dissappeared from Post Soviet Russian and were never accounted for including red mercury which is used to make Neutron Weapons.

I simply cannot understand why more Americans aren't up in arms over the combination of a porous border and terrorist threats. What is it going to take to wake these folks up?<div>Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of congress; but I repeat myself. Mark Twain</div>

Border Security you say? Well.......... try National Security as a whole. How in the hell does a Chinese National pass on our most advanced Submarine Warfare Technology to Red China for such long time and is finally caught after the damage has been done? Nobody that immigrates from Red China should ever come into contact or work for US Defence Contractors.
