Progressives, Liberals and Democrats: Border Control Is Indispensable For Security and Liberty

We have to remember that ISIS is not a State. It should not be treated as such, Pres. Obama stated recently.
They are wise words so we don't over react to challenges terrorists pose. We must not either under react.
The internet allows a sifting of populations in such a manner that a radical group can attract all the unbalanced, insane and easily manipulated to their cause so that their presence is concentrated and they have prominence that they otherwise would not have had in the past. There members also include many that have money and access to arms. Due to their composition, they will also be manipulated by rogue regimes.
Yet the same technology that allows that same minority the ability to attract the few can also galvanize, equip and organize the many who want peace, liberty and freedom for all.
And, here is what is becoming very apparent and is a reality that progressives, liberals and democrats need to come to gripes with and get behind: knowing who enters your borders and leaves them (or doesn't leave) is indispensable. Not to artificially or inhumanely control the flow of labor, immigration and refugees, but to ensure that those who are within the pathological and criminal minority cannot hide in plane sight due to our naivety.
All the laws and reforms on immigration and the best internal security and policing are undermined and useless without sophisticated entry and exit controls that combine the use of high-tech and low tech barriers and monitors of population movement between international borders. This needs to be done and coordinated among all free nations. Only then will we be able to predict, ahead of the curve, the coalescence of forces like ISIS and to thereby stop them.
