"Are we living in America's Autumn?

with my luck it's winter and it will stay that way forever.

I think American should look to its borders and impose strict regulations on foreign immigrants, especially from the Middle East. We don't need to have terrorists coming here and being welcomed. I'd be in favor of some kind of supervision of "visiting aliens" similar to that of parolees; make them report weekly and account for themselves regularly. If we monitored them more closely, we should be able to detect the money laundering and funds transfers from Al Quaida and send them packing.
