There are no traditional borders anymore, as a culture of terror or an ideal is hard to defeat as it can be spread to anywhere and anyone regardless of borders.
Independent.co.uk....
"Early in 2014, Isis released one of its first videos. Largely unseen in Europe, it had neither the slick, cutting-edge professionalism of its later execution tapes nor the haunting “nasheed” music that accompanies most of its propaganda. Instead, a hand-held camera showed a bulldozer pushing down a rampart of sand that had marked the border between Iraq and Syria. As the machine destroyed the dirt revetment, the camera panned down to a handwritten poster lying in the sand. “End of Sykes-Picot”, it said... "
"Like many hundreds of thousands of Arabs in the Middle East, for whom Sykes-Picot was an almost cancerous expression, I watched this early Isis video in Beirut. The bloody repercussions of the borders that the British and French diplomats, Mark Sykes and François Georges-Picot, drew in secret during the First World War – originally giving Syria, Mount Lebanon and northern Iraq to the French, and Palestine, Transjordan and the rest of Iraq to the British – are known to every Arab, Christian and Muslim and, indeed, every Jew in the region. They eviscerated the governorates of the old dying Ottoman empire and created artificial nations in which borders, watchtowers and hills of sand separated tribes, families and peoples. They were an Anglo-French colonial production."
In response to immigrants seeking asylum in the United States, many state Governors have been putting blocks into place to prevent mainly Syrian refugees from being allowed into the US, with the premise that this will help keep ISIS operatives out.
While this is an understandable response by lawmakers, unfortunately it is not going to work as the terrorist ideology and culture is spread by words from one person to another, from one jihadist to another, from words and misconstrued teachings on the internet, from videos on websites and youtube... on social networking sites like Facebook.
There are already operatives in the US who will follow any group that comes along and fits into their ideals, today it is ISIS, yesterday it was Al Queda, tomorrow it will be some other misguided group.
There were a few dozen armed Militia groups in the US before Barrack Obama was elected to be POTUS.... this turned into literally hundreds of Militia groups after Obama's election.
Armed Militias are an easy target for ISIS operatives to join and get military training. You can't always spot a terrorist, they are not always brown or black in colour. You cannot prove what religion or religious ideology a person subscribes to. Anyone can say that he is a Christian, or any other religion, and it is easy to learn the ways of said religion and therefore blend in.
Many operatives are accepted into groups simply because they have a prison record, something that all but proves that the individual is anti-government and would make a great soldier for whatever cause the group has. Prisons are where terrorists are made or converted.
It is widely known that once in prison, many are led to the alter of religion after which they are easily radicalized. These ex prisoners can simply say they are of the desired religious persuasion, join the hundreds of militias in the US, or even form their own, and get training and then lay in wait for the right moments to strike. There are thousands of prisoners who have found religion in prison, being released from prison every week.
I think this is happening right now. While we are distracted with trying to block immigrants from entering the US, there are thousands of potential terror operatives getting trained in Militia camps nationwide.... the cat is already out of the bag.
There is also no way to stop them from purchasing guns and ammunition in the US.
