Terry Jones Banned From UK, while USA Lowers Border Protections

Britain barred firebrand U.S. pastor Terry Jones from the country Wednesday, saying his presence would not be "conducive to the public good." "The government opposes extremism in all its forms, which is why we have excluded pastor Terry Jones from the U.K.," said a Home Office spokesman. Rev. Jones, who is based in Gainesville, Fla., triggered an international furor when he announced plans to burn the Koran last year. He was originally invited to speak at a rally organized by the far-right group, the English Defence League. Although the group later withdrew its offer, the radical evangelist, pictured, said he still planned to visit and was thinking of organizing an event in London. The Home Office spokesman said comments made by Rev. Jones provided "evidence of his unacceptable behaviour." "Coming to the U.K. is a privilege not a right, and we are not willing to allow entry to those whose presence is not conducive to the public good."

Travel to the US, however, seems to be right for all illegals, as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Friday canceled the controversial virtual fence along the U.S. border with Mexico, citing technical problems, cost overruns and schedule delays since its inception in 2005. Rather than build any more fence to stem the flow of illegals, the Administration plans to spend more on monitoring so they can watch the illegals cross over, rather than stop them.
