So, exhibiting a special kind of willful stupidity, Steve tonight suggests that our State Department would expect jihadis would answer a visa application… utterly… candidly.

He might be the only person in America who would be that credulous.

But it lets him (falsely) blame our immigration policies for terrorists inside the country.

My two main thoughts: no immigration policy set (not even a total lockdown) will prevent terrorists here. To say otherwise is to admit to being… childishly naive. Terrorists will cross from Canada undetected no matter what we do. Bank on it.

My second observation is that local terrorists are, by far and away greater numbers… home grown. They’ve lived here as citizens — for generations. They are, in the main, whyte, hard right racists claiming to be X-tains.

And Steve well-knows it. Many of them are Powerline’s regular readers.

If he were serious about blunting domestic terror, he’d be more responsible in his rhetoric.

He’s… not.

Out.
