You just hit it right on target! I wholeheartedly agree. But how are you going to do it? After 9-11, Congress initiated a bill that was supposed to restrict visas to those countries on the US State Department "terrorism list". However, the problem is the list itself! This includes only 7 countries: North Korea, Libya, Syria... , but not Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, Algeria, or other potential sources of militant Islamists. Go fix it!
