I think it's a false sense of security though, if a terrorist wanted to get into the U.S. they would easily be able too, a few power hungry hicks with rifles aren't going to stop them.
Not to mention the majority of terrorist attacks on the U.S. have been caused by U.S. citizens, not foreigners. I don't think building a "great wall" is going to help the situation, it will just further isolate the country.

The EU is not a target? LMAO!!! I think that you are being VERY short sighted if you don't think that the whole of the west is not going to be targeted by Islamic radicals.
...and although most of historic terrorism has been from within the US, the situation is changing quite a bit. Remember all of the Hijackings in Europe in the 70s?
It's a lot more than just the terrorist situation however. Along the southern borders there are an estimated 50,000 illegal border crossing each MONTH. There needs to be some control of borders. People should still be able to come into the US of course, but they need to do it LEGALLY, just like every other country in the world requires.
