For some perspective, live outside the country for awhile. I can remember our plane sitting on the tarmac at the Italian airport outside of Milan surrounded by soldiers with machine guns. This was in 1987. They took terrorism very seriously and there was no jetway, you had to walk into the terminal.

To get a visa into France, interrogation was the norm.

Driving around Italy, we'd get pulled over by the police at least once a week and have to show our papers that allowed us to be in the country. My blonde hair probably contributed to our racial profiling and most people thought we were Swiss.

Sure, it was slightly annoying to be pulled over all the time, (at least it wasn't for speeding) but it's their country and they make the rules. You wanna live there, you abide by them.

Immigration becomes a security threat when citizens are outnumbered in their own community by people that have no vested interest in keeping the standard of living that Americans enjoy. It's supposed to be the UNITED States of America.
