Not all Mexicans are illegal! Hell, over half of the ones in my family have docs.
When it comes to illegal aliens being a threat (rather than a real or perceived drain on the economy), I'm way more concerned about jihadists than our Mexican neighbors (or even those within my family).
It was a cakewalk for jihadists to mosie in and take out the twin towers just over a decade ago. And, the US government, as of this year, no longer has the latitude to monitor domestic cell and electronic communications for terrorist communications as they did for the 12 years following 9⁄11 (which is good for domestic privacy assurance; not necessarily good for national security, IMO).
I agree that in some ways we're more of a threat to ourselves. A growing threat stems from American citizens joining, training, and fighting for jihadist groups in the Middle East. It's only a matter of time before some of those crazy bastards try to come home and bring that bullshit with them. It's a serious concern for all western governments -- especially England's, whose citizens account for the majority of the effin' unstable western wanna-be jihadists (unsurprisingly).
