Paul Babeu, the sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, which covers a major route for smugglers bringing Latin Americans into the United States told the New York Times: 'My fear - and what should be the fear of all Americans - is that terrorists are using well-established smuggling routes through Central America, through Mexico, and positioning themselves to come across the border.'

This also has nothing to do with Islam. /s
Get off their case.
Not only that, "Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism."
They're trying to get in to catch the Black Friday sales...
That is scary, but it may end up being true.
Isn’t St. Martin a French island as is Monserrat??
Sounds more Dutch.
I just lived there a year.
The North part of the island is French. Has great restaurants, Gendarmerie police and very high crime.
Southern half is Dutch. Mediocre restaurants, very high crime.
No second amendment. Very dangerous place. When I left, murder rate was 8 in the world. South Africa was 9.
Phillipsburg is no go after dark.
These oppressed, starving, beaten down refugees sure do get around. They travel better than most people in the world.
French and Dutch.
I can’t afford a vacation there. Where are they getting the money?
YES, Good question!!
Flights from Europe or the middle east aren’t cheap. Thousands of dollars. For ‘poor sodden refugees’ they seem to have a lot of spending money.
ping
Honduran national police can interrogate however they like
Little restrictions there
Sint Maarten more civilized
Saint Martin is French...Marigot...a quaint town
It shares the island with Sint Maarten which is Dutch....Philipsburg..
Anguilla is just north northwest of the French half....its British
Really?
Man it must have collapsed since the 80s when I traded cement from Venezuela to the Marigot dock
I preferred the French side......
There was a rural bordello there then populated by Colombian and Dominican wimmin
Lotsa European holiday girls too
It was fun
It’s thug culture I guess
St Maarten is the Dutch side of that beautiful island. The main business on both sides is tourism. I don’t think that the French or Dutch will put up with much here.
