Well, in the mid-to-late 90s, I noticed a visible increase in the numbers of towel-headed women (and their western dressed Arab husbands) in and around San Antonio. Made me a bit nervous - and this was long before 9/11.
But how does Omar Muhammed become Jorge Ortiz if he can't speak Spanish? He'd be outed pretty quick by the local patriotic Tejanos.
I agree though that theoretically a lot of trouble could come via the Southern border. But again, their lack of Spanish speaking ability would make them stick out like a sore thumb. And I don't know that the "Coyotes" would be willing to bring Islamofascists into the USA. After all, if they did, and something went BOOM, the US would crack down on the border and that would be bad for their business, wouldnt it?
About three years ago the border Patrol caught 3 Mexican nationals with 2 Pakistanies and another middle easterner. I don't recall the other country. All 6 were in the car headed north. They were taken to Port Isabel detention center and that is the last news about them.
This made the news here in south Texas big time.
Interesting enough, Texas is one of the states that is attracting large amounts of Mid Easterners. As a matter of fact, I have an article that states Houston alone has gone from 25,000 to over 100,000 Mid Easterners in the Houston region alone, in just the past few years. To my way of thinking, this is nothing short of nuts....
