GOP Lawmaker: Islamic State Has Established Training Camps in Latin America
BreitBart ^ | 23 Nov 16 | Edwin Mora

The chairman of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, in an interview with Breitbart News after meeting with various government officials in South America last weekend, warns that the nexus between radical Islamic terrorists and criminal groups in Latin America is “growing” and poses a major threat to the United States.

Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC), the chairman, also told Breitbart News that the jihadist group Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has established training camps in countries south of the United States.

Thus the need for the wall to protect our southern border.

Mexico would be wise to build one on their southern border also.

Another reason for tighter border security.

Our bases in Panama will go a long way toward fighting the Islamic State in Latin America.

Oh wait, those bases were given away by the Democrat President Jimmy Carter and took effect during the Democrat administration of Bill Clinton.

I guess it wasn’t such a smart move to allow the Islamic State to be born and spread like wildfire during the Democrat administration of Barak Obama.

There’s one right across the border from El Paso, Texas, apparently.

Big deal, in 2009 Hannity reported on 35 known training camps right here in America. Do you think the number is any less now? The enemy is within the gates and we’re just whistlin’ Dixie...

You’re joking right? Mexico DOES have a wall on their southern border. We’re just not allowed to put one on ours.

Wish they would seriously investigate the rumors of training camps in the western Sierra Nevada near Fresno.

That's next on the list after searching for the secret Jap airstrips in the Pomona alfalfa fields ...

There is some kind of half-assed fencing between Mexico and Guatemala,only, and it’s only in the last two months or so that it’s been reported that Mexico is talking about building a real wall.
