Smuggling network guided illegals from Middle East terror hotbeds to U.S. border
The Washington Times ^ | June 2nd, 2016 | By Stephen Dinan

A smuggling network has managed to sneak illegal immigrants from Middle East terrorism hotbeds straight to the doorstep of the U.S., including helping one Afghan man authorities say was part of an attack plot in North America.

Immigration officials have identified at least a dozen Middle Eastern men smuggled into the Western Hemisphere by a Brazilian-based network that connected them with Mexicans who guided them up to the U.S. border, according to internal government documents reviewed by The Washington Times.

Those smuggled included Palestinians, Pakistanis and the Afghan man who Homeland Security officials said had family ties to the Taliban and was “involved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and/or Canada.” He is in custody but the Times is withholding his name at the request of law enforcement to protect ongoing investigations.

Some of the men handled by the smuggling network were nabbed before they got to the U.S., but others actually made it into the country, including the Afghan man who was part of a group of six from so-called “special interest countries.”

They should have gone directly to Obama and claimed to be refugees. He would have brought them right in.

Every congressman, along with Obama should be held accountable for allowing this. Way past time to impeach Obama. Congress never says a word about any of this.

As much as we all know this is happening it’s nevertheless chilling to read about it. You can bet your bottom dollar that for every operation exposed, dozens, if not more, remain active. We are living in treasonous times - thank the R & D Open Border Cartel for placing us and our families in grave danger.

It’s about time this issue has surfaced.

Border patrol agents have been finding stuff that muslims have left behind along the border for years now. Korans, prayer rugs and books in Arabic. What gets me is the US reps from the border areas have been silent all this time. This affects their own families and friends, but I guess if it doesn’t affect them, then it’s ok.
