Most notably. the ability to travel in and out of the United States presents a great threat to us and to others. Those already in our country with the knowledge and ability to train others could travel to foreign nations. teaching terrorist cells everything from combat tactics to explosives construction. At the same time. terrorists in our Nation who do not possess the knowledge and training to participate in such attacks could use their new travel visas to visit training sites in other countries. bringing their newfound knowledge back home to America. For example. a May 28 article from the New York Times describes the problems created by free travel in and out of nations surrounding Iraq. That article says: The Iraq war. which for years has drawn militants from around the world. is beginning to export fighters and tactics they have honetd in the. insurgency to neighboring countries and beyond. The Times has reported: Some of the fighters appear to be leaving as part of the waves of Iraqi refugees crossing borders. . .. But others are dispatched from Iraq for specific missions. Granting sameday legal status and the privileges that accompany it to poorly screened foreign nationals has the risk of making us less safe and. indeed. potentially helping spread this threat not just to America but to other places around the world.
