In reading a piece in the Council of Foreign Relations and from the Boston Globe on terror today, one thing stuck out to me, the idea of mundane terrorism. This type of terrorism defined in the article as mundane is the home-grown inspired type of terror. This makes it more difficult for law enforcement to detect and prevent. When assessing mundane terrorism, it is important to understand that terrorist cells are most often social groups that attract societies social outcasts. So when looking at home-grown inspired terrorism and how to prevent it, i think we can see our immigration plans directly affecting terrorists cells around the world. In other words, the closer we are to countries in the middle east that occupy many of the terrorist groups, the closer we will be to their political leaders and their way of life. This will directly correlate to our ability to understand and prevent mundane terrorism growing in countries in the middle east. The solution then resides in creating a more interconnected and diplomatically effective world for the US to be apart of. One expedient way to create better diplomatic, political and social ties with countries is through creating a progressive immigration plan where we take more refugees and allow an easier path to citizenship.
