This week of all weeks. with the anniversary of the September 11 attacks upon us. we can have no illusions that terrorists will not try to make good on their specific threats to attack America. As long as our border is not secure. we are making it far too easy for the terrorists to carry through on those promises. Rumored ISIS activities on the southern border should unite us all in the resolve to make border security a top priority rather than an afterthought or rather than something to be held hostage for political negotiations in the Congress. Second. we should take commonsense steps to make fighting for or supporting ISIS an affirmative renunciation of American citizenship. We know there are over 100 Americans who have joined ISIS who have taken up arms alongside the jihadists. along with thousands of others from the European Union.
