There Is 'A Very Real Possibility' ISIS Forces Have Crossed US-Mexican Border
Business Insider via Yahoo News ^ | 8/21/14

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) believes the jihadist group the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL) may have already sent militants across the U.S.-Mexican border.

Perry was directly asked about this prospect Thursday afternoon after he gave a border-security speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Perry, a potential 2016 presidential candidate who spent much of the speech castigating ISIS after the group brutally executed an American journalist earlier this week, said there was "a very real" risk they were already inside the U.S.

"There’s the obvious great concern that because of the condition of the border from the standpoint of it not being secure and us not knowing who is penetrating across, that individuals from ISIS or other terrorist states could be [crossing the border] — and I think there is a very real possibility that they may have already used that," he said.

Wait. Can’t be. Remember the ‘Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano insisted that U.S. borders have “never been stronger’

And obama will say it’s Perrys’ fault for not putting enough guard members along the border. I can hear him refusing to take responsibility now.

Agreed. The first attack will be characterized as workplace violence.

Last night on Hannity, VP Cheney said he thought it was very likely there would be a major attack on a US city in the next few years. He thought there would be “hundreds of thousands” of dead and it would probably be nuclear.

Without a serious fence system for the Border Patrol to actually watch and guard, the BP is forced to “defend in depth.” The southern border is 2,019 miles from sea to sea. If the Border Patrol check points are 40 miles from the border, agents must roam across an area of 80,000 square miles seeking illegal immigrants. This is a fool’s errand, deliberately futile. 80,000 square miles is the size of Idaho or Kansas.

The same number of border patrol agents actually guarding a physical barrier means that every inch of the border is under observation at all times. For example, anybody carrying a ladder to the fence will be seen, and stopped by nearby Border Patrol agents who react to their approach. That is why the San Diego fence is so effective. It needs to be extended across the entire border. Or, we can keep play-acting at border security, with the Border Patrol playing Keystone Kops across 80,000 square miles of rough scrub land terrain.

Great idea! With the world burning, behind him...with all of his debacles, named in the mayhem.

Parsing the words, she was right.

BUT—The USA has never had the pressure from invaders like this before.

They want to. They will stop at nothing to do it. They will use any means necessary. Our borders are wide open.
If it happens, the media will not make the connection with open borders.

this would certainly change the conversation if ISIS crossed the Mexican border and performed a 911 like attack.

Better yet recreate the scene form ‘Caddy Shack’ and have Obama bent over watching a golf ball balanced on the rim of the cup waiting for the vibrations of the world being blown up to cause the ball to drop in!!!

Anybody who thinks they aren’t here is a fool. And meanwhile we waste intelligence and law enforcement assets in Ferguson so Holder can get over his self loathing.....

Obama is so culpable on many front - Libya, Syria and Iraq and our border. Obama owns this ISIS screwup
