Europe has to visit their border policies. Turkey does as well. There is no formal border crossing policies in Turkey and that is where it begins.

A country's borders exist as the very basic definition to national defense. Some countries' borders are easier to defend than others. The USA borders are porous and nearly impossible to completely control. Besides continental borders, the USA has very long shorelines, then there is Hawaii and Alaska. So, the idea the USA has an easy time protecting it's borders is unrealistic.

WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Members of two Syrian families (click here) had turned themselves in to U.S. authorities in Laredo, Texas, at the Mexican border, and were being processed by immigration officials, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Thursday.
Two men, two women and four children who "presented themselves" Tuesday at the port of entry were taken into custody by Border Patrol agents and then turned over for immigration processing, DHS said in a statement."Due to privacy issues, no additional information will be provided at this time," DHS said in a statement....
US Homeland Security wants everyone to be witnesses.
"If You See Something, Say Something™" (click here) is a national campaign that
raises public awareness of the indicators of terrorism and
terrorism-related crime, as well as the importance of reporting
suspicious activity to state and local law enforcement.
Informed, alert communities play a critical role in keeping our
nation safe. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is committed
to strengthening hometown security by creating partnerships with state,
local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments and the private
sector, as well as the communities they serve. These partners help us
reach the public across the nation by aligning their messaging with the
campaign’s messages and distributing outreach materials, including
Public Service Announcements (PSAs)....
That is a nice sentiment, but, how realistic is it? There may be times when it might actually work, but, how much noise is there going to be in the policing of the USA that will result in nothing but tying up police on calls that don't matter.
Have you seen (click here) the latest release from the Interior Department. Beautiful. Zion National Park. I thought I'd take a look at it rather than watching out for terrorists.
Did you see the news about the three people dead in the USA from severe weather?
No? I didn't think so because these poor souls weren't terrorist or terror victims. But, I'm sure if someone was able to interview them if they had survived they would say it was rather terrifying.

Spokane, Wash. (AP) — Cleanup crews (click here) took to the streets Wednesday in Washington state after a powerful storm killed three people, cut power to more than 350,000 residents and flooded rivers.
The winds on Tuesday exceeded 100 mph in some areas of the Inland Northwest, where fallen trees were blamed for the deaths.
A woman in her 50s was killed when a tree fell in Spokane. Another woman died after a tree landed on her car on Highway 904 about 15 miles southwest of Spokane, and a man in his mid-20s died when a tree crushed his car as he was driving in Snohomish County, authorities said.
The identities of the three people were not immediately released.
Crews in Spokane were working to clear at least 175 fallen trees that blocked streets and slowed the morning commute....
Ya know, worrying about European, Turkish borders and where there is enough control at every border crossing really isn't my responsibility. It is above my pay grade.
I think the global community has to address what national security is and what it isn't because it seems to me if countries were vigilant at its borders there would not be citizens flyng to be a member of Daesh. If citizens are on their way to enter a war theater and they aren't soldiers of the country to defend it, then charge them, take their passport or "Border Crossing ID" and send them to prison. It is treason in most countries I was aware of. But, if the international community thinks their economies are better off with permissive rules to speed travelers along, then expect terrorists to be among them.
