"To the extent that there's an issue, it is with the Canadian border. It's a tiny, tiny, tiny issue. It's a pre-9/11 issue. And it's a non-issue on the Mexican border," says CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen. "We've tightened up everything since 9/11, and terrorists aren't going to Canada to get into the United States. And they're certainly not going into Central America or Mexico."
Border wall would do nothing to stop terrorism. And there is no national emergency.
When it comes to talking about terrorism, Bergen says, focusing on the border doesn't make sense. Every fatal terrorist attack on the United States since 9/11... was carried out by a US citizen or legal resident.
