Whether you see the film or just look at the picture, it is irresponsible to ignore reality. We are vulnerable. But this time it won’t be another set of plane crashes. They are smarter than that. Imagine a synchronized set of terror attacks taking place throughout the country.
Fact is, illegal aliens crossing over the border can be in any US city within 3-days. That’s scary. Yes, most are coming here to cut your lawn. But there are others who want to cut your throat.
Currently in production, here is a quick clip from David’s new film ‘They Come to America II,’ which focuses on the open border and how it presents a gateway to terrorists.

TUNIS, Tunisia -- Hundreds of Tunisians protested Tuesday in support of a woman who says she was raped by police and is facing accusations of violating modesty laws.
The case has drawn nationwide attention in Tunisia, where a moderate Islamist-led coalition is working on a new constitution after decades of dictatorship and the question of how it will define women's rights is a sensitive topic.
Legislators, students, teachers and lawyers took part in the protest at the central Tunis courthouse to denounce what they say are unfounded claims against the woman aimed at persuading her to drop her accusation against police.
The 27-year-old woman says three police officers stopped her in a car last month, and one of them held her fiance back while the other two raped her. The police officers deny wrongdoing, and say she was engaged in immoral behavior with her fiance when they stopped her.
The woman is being questioned Tuesday by investigators, who will decide whether to pursue the accusations against her. If she's convicted of immoral behavior, she could face up to six months in prison.
Online, on TV and in the street, Tunisians are expressing indignation, accusing the authorities of trying to cover up wrongdoing and blame the victim.
"No to police who rape and a complicit justice system" read one banner at Tuesday's protest. "Tunisian women will not submit, they will triumph or they will die" read another.
Both the woman's accusation against police and the ensuing public uproar would have been unthinkable under longtime autocrat Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who has ousted in an uprising last year that unleashed the Arab Spring revolutions.
Lawyer Emna Zahrouni says the woman has come under pressure to drop her accusation against police but is determined "to carry this through to the end to win justice."
TUNIS, Tunisia A Tunisian street vendor has died of severe, full-body burns after setting himself ablaze in what his family described as an act of desperation over trouble finding a steady job.
The self-immolation in 2010 of another Tunisian vendor frustrated with corruption and unemployment sparked protests that spread nationwide and led to the ouster of Tunisia’s authoritarian president. That unleashed protests around the Arab world.
The director of the Tunis region’s burn center, Imed Touibi, said that vendor Adel Khedhri died Wednesday morning. Touibi said the 27-year-old man, from a poor town in northwestern Tunisia struggling to find a steady job to support his mother and siblings, had burns on nearly 90 percent of his body.
Khedhri set himself on fire Tuesday on the main thoroughfare of the capital, Tunis.

Chandigarh: The young woman who was beaten up recently by policemen in Punjab, provoking strong criticism for the government from the Supreme Court, tried to force her way into the Punjab Assembly this morning.
Congress leaders accompanying her got into a fight with security personnel.
"She did not have any entry pass. We stopped her for security reasons," a security official told news agency IANS.
The woman, accompanied by her father and senior Congress leader Sunil Jakhar, said she had come to the assembly to demand justice.
A few days ago, the woman was filmed on a cell phone by a passer-by as two policemen hit her repeatedly near Amritsar. "Was she a terrorist?" the Supreme Court asked earlier this week as it demanded information on how the cops involved had been penalized. A few hours later, the two policemen who were seen on camera hitting her were arrested.
The woman's family claims she was attacked when it tried to complain to the police of her sexual harassment by some drivers. The police say she was trying to obstruct the arrest of her father, who was drunk and causing a public nuisance. However, they agreed that the attack on her was unjustifiable.
