Another close call for NYC

Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American citizen was arrested for a botched car bomb attempt in New York City's Time Square. Shahzad was granted a visa to attend Southeastern University in Washington in 1998. He quickly transfered to the University of Bridgeport where he received a master's of business administration. In 2009 he traveled to Dubai for an unknown reason and returned to the United States shortly after. On May 1st he parked his car in Times Square filled with gunpowder and other explosives. A street vendor notifies police that a parked car is smoking and is afraid it might blow up. Police evacuate the area between 43rd and 47th streets and 6th and 8th avenues.
Police search desperately for the suspect and find Shahzad on a flight about to take off for Dubai. He admitted to the crime according to court documents and has been taken into custody.
I truly believe that the United States needs to shut down our borders in order to stop terrorists form coming into our country. Terrorists like Faisal Shahzad take advantage of our school systems and our way of life and then they try and destroy it by killing innocent people. They have no regard for human life and should be brought to justice in the harshest of court systems.
The only way we are going to stop terrorism is to keep them out of our country. We need to reserve our school systems for American citizens that are going to become useful members of society. We do not need to waste space in our schools or our country for people that are going to try and destroy us.
