Why not? I mean, you can do a simple background check on someone and find out if they're a legitimate threat. I don't think they should let in Jihadi Jeff, but that doesn't describe most of the undocumented immigrants.
Then what's the point of regulating borders and making people go through the legal process to get here, if we're just going to look the other way so long as someone is able to trespass? Then why not just let anyone/everyone walk right in willy nilly at their whim so long as they haven't killed/raped anyone? This is just so unreasonable to me...
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
