7. What this country needs is a cyber wall surrounding all incoming internet traffic.

Individuals do not have the capacity to out smart cyber hackers. We need the government to take responsibility for protecting our internet connected devices and the traffic that passes through them.

When we see reports (after the fact) of foreign adversaries attacking our voting systems, our power grids, our military hardware and software, our private personal data, US companies trade secrets and now hijacking a private individuals router to be use as a gateway to further attack other internet users. We should all see this a cyber warfare.

We don't need concrete and steel walls to prevent people fleeing from oppressive terrorist attacks in their home countries from seeking asylum in America.

WE NEED cybersecurity to protect US interests and US citizens from illegal activities from foreign and domestic enemies.
