OPEN BORDERS WEAKEN U.S. SECURITY

Dear Source:
A huge problem the U.S. faces hourly on all fronts is the false assumption of U.S. citizenship and a U.S. identity by citizens of other countries, not just persons who have made it to a U.S. territory who then wish to attempt to travel to the U.S. mainland.
Those who would harm America look for weaknesses/openings in the U.S. border to exploit. As one who was born on the U.S. mainland who realizes the scope and seriousness of the problem and that the U.S. is at war, I have no objection to identifying myself when I apply to travel to the U.S. I can see how those who would like to impersonate U.S. citizenship would like open borders devoid of identity checks.
