Congressman Duncan Hunter: Ten ISIS Fighters Caught Crossing US Border
FrontPage Mag ^ | 10/08/2014 | Daniel Greenfield

The first casualty of war is the truth. Unfortunately Obama’s politicization of the government into a pro-illegal alien organization has made its official statements untrustworthy forcing us to rely on individual whistleblowers from inside the organization.

A Republican congressman claimed Tuesday that “at least 10″ Islamic State “fighters” have been caught trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border into Texas, though an administration official denied it.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., said he learned the information from the Border Patrol, warning that the alleged attempts to cross into the U.S. raise serious security concerns.

Hunter continued: “I know that at least 10 ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas.”

The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday denied Hunter’s claim.

“The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the Southwest border is categorically false, and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,” a senior DHS spokesman said. “DHS continues to have no credible intelligence to suggest terrorist organizations are actively plotting to cross the southwest border.”

But Hunter spokesman Joe Kasper said the information — that about 10 individuals with “known ISIS affiliations” — came from a “high-level source within the Border Patrol.”

Is it true? Who knows. DHS has zero credibility when it comes to official statements these days. The Secretary of Homeland Security is Jeh Johnson, a mini-Holder, who puts national security last and illegal alien amnesty first.

Considering his role in promoting illegal alien amnesty, no DHS statement on the border can be or should be trusted.

That doesn’t mean that the report is necessarily true, but considering the kinds of scams that the government has pulled with the so-called “unaccompanied minors” there is no reason to believe that they wouldn’t lie about this.

Furthermore it would explain Obama’s sudden urgency to be seen doing something about ISIS.

We know that there has been ISIS chatter about exploiting the southern border. We also know that some of the ISIS fighters might want to avoid US immigration to avoid having their movements and identities track. Considering how Obama has opened up the border, their strategy makes sense.

Of course they would. This administration, like fellow communist ones before it must propagate, perpetuate and forever protect the lie. I believe NOTHING uttered by any member of this rancid cabal.

Congressman Duncan Hunter: Ten ISIS Fighters Caught Crossing US Border

That probably means at least 100 got through. I'd love to see Jack Bauer interrogate those bastards to find out what their targets were.

I have stood on the bank of the Rio Grande, Texas side, and watched people coming across the river. Of course back then they just wanted to mow my lawn, now they want to blow us all up. Sad days are here.

And Judicial Watch says four were arrested... Does that mean that 6 were caught and released?

...........................

Remember a week or two ago when ISIS claimed that they were going to infect a bunch of their jihadis with ebola, and sneak them across our southern border, to spread it to all America?
I figured that that was mostly just big talk, , trying to scare people with little effort, like the punks do calling in bomb threats to their schools....
What if I was wrong, and they have actually implemented that?

.....................................

I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

DHS has zero credibility....Secy Jeh Johnson puts national security last and illegal alien amnesty first. Considering JJ's activist role in promoting illegal aliens and illegal alien amnesty, no DHS statement can or should be trusted.

THE FACTS TO DATE: Patriot Cong Jason Chaffetz (Rep-Utah) told Megyn Kelly weeks ago, there were four terrorists arrested crossing the US border in Texas on September 10. “There were actually four individuals trying to cross through the Texas border, who were apprehended at two different stations, that have ties to known terrorist organizations in the Middle East.” (Excerpt) Read more at shtfplan.com ...

At an earlier hearing on the subject, Cong Jason Chaffetz questioned DHS Secy Homeland Johnson WRT whether he is “aware of any apprehensions of suspected or known terrorists.”

The calculated Johnson dodged the question.

Seems that Secy Johnson "forgot" to mention this (cackle).

Obama admin unilaterally changes law to allow immigrants
with 'limited' terror contact into US
The Daily Caller
| 2/5/14 / FR Posted by Nachum

The Obama administration has issued new exemptions to a law that bars certain asylum-seekers and refugees who provided “limited material support” to terrorists who are believed to pose no threat from the U.S.

The Department of Homeland Security and the State Department published the new exemptions Wednesday in the Federal Register to narrow a ban in the Immigration and Nationality Act excluding refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained to The Daily Caller.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Secretary of State John Kerry signed the exemptions. DHS contends that the law change is “commonsense” and that immigration procedures will remain the same in other respects. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...####

Obama henchman---Leon Rodrigues at USCIS (a DHS agency)----has been rubber-stamping undesirables from 144 countries into the US. Rodrigues also over sees EB-5 visas. Under Rodrigues' purview---EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:

ARE OBAMA/RODRIGUES SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS-ISIS-CONTAGIOUS FOREIGNERS?--In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (REPUB--IOWA) said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

==========================================

It has been verified that our souhern border has been violated by invaders from 144 antediluvian disease-ridden countries---all of whom gather in Mexico b/c they know Obama is rubber-stamping them in----no questions asked.

Carriers of TB, Ebola, Chikungunya, Dengue fever, Norovirus. Hantavirus, Swine flu, Varicella. Variola, E-coli.......and carriers of childhood diseases America stamped out years ago.......are all here in our communitities, in our schools, in our stores and restaurants....handling our food and merchandise

The Obama admin has kept secret:

<><> medical conditions of minors transported to US schools....

<><> contagion status of contaminated Border-holding facilities;

<><> contagion status of contaminated public transportation used to relocate minors.......

<><> dangers to Americans from contaminated illegals in the marketplace, handling our food, merchandise.
