Nor should we allow anymore unlimited and unvetted immigration, nor
should we allow the several hundred thousand illegals who are actively
evading the INS in this country to continue to walk around freely.
Those others who aide and abet these should also be treated as the
illegal combatants they are under the Geneva Conventions.

DUring the entirety of the Cold War, it could easily be said that the
vast majority of Russians had no desire to either take over the world
for communism OR nuke the US, but this doesn't mean that their country
was not our enemy. Your arguments are therefore invalid.
