#1 "Terrorists are recruiting Brazilians because they can fly into Mexico with no problem because of a Visa Waiver policy. C'mon, State! You've got to fix this visa thing!"

I think the Visa Waiver they are talking about is between Mexico and Brazil. I'm not sure why there would be special worry about the Brazilians - my understanding (limited at best) is that Mexico is being overrun by Honduran Hard Guys. It would be harder for Brazilians to infiltrate our society as I thn that fewer DMV employees speak Portugese.

#2 I have often thought there is a lot of resemblance between the phenomenon of gangs and Islamic terrorism. The fact that we have not been able to eliminate gangs has always bothered me. At least part of the problem seems to be the same thing that is hampering counter-terrorism efforts, namely our judicial and law enforcement system. As long as gangs are not a threat to national security, we seem to be content to let traditional law enforcement handle them. If they are indeed allied with terrorists, gangs should now be treated as terrorist organizations too. Faster please.
