These people were NOT illegal
Neither were they loyal, truthful, and brave, nor did they love America.
"More than a dozen people with American citizenship or residency, like [Faisal] Shahzad, have been accused in the past two years of supporting or carrying out terrorism attempts on U.S. soil, cases that illustrate the threat of violent extremism from within the U.S.
Among them are Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, a U.S.-born Army psychiatrist of Palestinian descent, charged with fatally shooting 13 people last year at Fort Hood, Texas; Najibullah Zazi, a Denver-area airport shuttle driver who pleaded guilty in February in a plot to bomb New York subways; and a Pennsylvania woman who authorities say became radicalized online as "Jihad Jane" and plotted to kill a Swedish artist whose work offended Muslims."

According to reports I read Faisal Shahzad (accused in the NY planned SUV bombing of Times Square) became a citizen last year and his wife still lives in Pakistan.
