Good points. I think what people fail to understand about radicalization and ISIS is that the real problem is not happening on an actual border, so devoting all your (our) time and energy on physical space won't be terribly effective. They are recruiting on the internet. This is a borderless war, and yes, they are already here. I think the other thing that is important to remember regarding ISIS is that they are losing the war in the middle east. They lost almost 30 percent of land in Syria this year and are getting their asses kicked in Iraq. They are gonna go down, but they aren't gonna make this easy. The more lose they over there, the more they are going to expand their guerilla tactics over here. Making these young people, which these recruits appear to me to mostly be, feel more angry and disaffected probably won't help.

We let these people in our country to pillage from us and now we are nothing more than open targets to these monsters.
