Information officer Andy Adame, from the Border Patrol Tucson sector says, I guarantee its not true.
However, seasoned Border Patrol field agents have shared some disturbing information with the Tumbleweed as well as other civilian sources with the hope the information will make it to the general public. The Tumbleweed has verified information that a flood of middle-eastern males have been caught entering the country illegally east of Douglas, Arizona. The increased patrols in the Huachuca Mountains area of Cochise County, seems to have diverted the flow of OTMs, other than Mexicans east to the Chiricahua Mountains.
Adame, who says many of the agents in the area are green, questions why they would have shared the information with the Tumbleweed or any other source. Our policy is to turn any OTMs over to the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, Adame said in a phone call made to the Tumbleweed Wednesday morning.
For reasons of National security, Adame said his agency cannot talk about the origin of nationaity, however Adame says that since October 1, 2003, the beginning of the fiscal year for Border Patrol, agents in the Tucson sector have apprehended 5,510 illegals from countries other than Mexico or other central or South American countries. Adame described them as people from all over the world.
In the last month, the Tumbleweed has confirmed at least two documented accounts of Border Patrol agents encountering large groups of non-Spanish speaking males in the Chiricahua foothills and on trails along the high mountain areas.
On or about the early morning hours of June 13, 2004 Border patrol agents from the Willcox station encountered a large group of suspected illegal border crossers, estimated to be around 158, just east of the Sanders Ranch near the foothills of the Chiricauha Mountains. 71 suspected illegal aliens were apprehended; among them were 53 males of middle-eastern descent. According to a Border Patrol field agent, the men were suspected to be Iranian or possibly Syrian nationals. One things for sure: these guys didnt speak Spanish and after we questioned them harder we discovered they spoke poor English with a middle-eastern accent; then we caught them speaking to each other in Arabic this is ridiculous that we don't take this more seriously, and were told not to say a thing to the media, but I have to, said the agent, who spoke to the Tumbleweed with the promise of anonymity.
Adame confirms the groups of illegals were apprehended on those dates in the same area but stated, There were no middle easterners in the group. Every single one of them was Mexican.
The field agent stated the men were wearing the traditional uniform of migrants - baseball caps, tennis shoes, some had work boots, denim jeans and many had t-shirts with patriotic American flags and slogans. The agent added the following description A curious thing I noticed was that they all had brand new clothing and they looked as if they had just been to the barber shop--you know--new haircuts. They were clean cut and they all had almost the exact same cut of mustaches.
The information was corroborated by a local rancher in the area who reports that sightings of groups similar to these are on the rise. The rancher reports that groups of heavily armed paramilitary drug smugglers have also been seen in the same area.
Weve had groups in the hundreds coming through again. They were gone for awhile but now they're back. And of course we have the drug mules again and many are carrying automatic weapons. Many other ranchers in the area have been frustrated with the lack of response from Border Patrol. After calling over and over again to the Willcox headquarters, we might get a response a few hours later. We call them in to the Border Patrol, we only have the Willcox station, and theyre so darned far away. By the time they send in the helicopters these groups are long gone. I dont know how many they catch but theyre coming through here heavy right now.
On or about the evening of June 21, 2004, agents from the Willcox Border Patrol station apprehended 24 members of a larger group of Arabic speaking males located just east of the Pierce/Sunsites area of Cochise County. At least half of the males escaped capture and disappeared into the United States.

I saw this in the Gertz/Scarborough column INSIDE THE RING (....Pentagon that is) from todays 'Washington Times':
Arab illegals
U.S. border agents since October have picked up five Arabs trying to cross into the United States illegally from Mexico, according to U.S. officials. The arrests are raising new concerns that al Qaeda terrorists are trying to enter the country from Mexico.
However, officials at the Homeland Security Department's Customs and Border Protection section - formerly the U.S. Border Patrol - were quick to dismiss as erroneous an Internet report this week that said a "flood" of Middle Eastern men were caught recently trying to sneak into the United States across the Mexican border with Arizona.
The officials said the report probably was based on the recent arrests of a group of people from a small southern Mexican Indian tribe. Known as the Oaxacan, the tribesmen were caught trying to cross the border. The Oaxacans speak a very different Spanish dialect and completely different indigenous language that was mistaken for Arabic, the officials said.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..........................
It's time to face reality and change our immigration system to orderly process guest workers into this country leagally.
WE CAN STOP THEM!!!! Israel is proving that by building their wall. I would pay for the same in a special assessment RIGHT NOW.
Get your head out of the sand. They aren't coming here to be "laborers". They are coming because no one is stopping them and because they get a myriad of free services they cannot get in their country of origin.
Free to THEM....NOT FREE to the USA taxpayers....
Out of control!
The invasion has started and we have not fired one shot in defense. Go figure. Your local socialist will want these folks at the polls to vote in November. More socialist voters being brought in.
Woman With Possible Terror Ties Arrested (smuggled thru our southern boarder)
No big deal. At least half escaped capture? So how many could that be? Maybe 19? How much damage could 19 Islamic terrorists do?
Ya gotta wonder where these guys go when they get over the border. They certainly don't go to the hundreds of safe houses set up for the illegals. I'm in Texas about two hundred miles in from the border in a small town (1,000) and we have one safe house that I know of. He's the guy you call when you need some day laborers. He certainly is no secret. I'm sure the feds know him and have explained to him that the only way he gets left alone is if he WITHOUT fail turns in any OTMs. At least any from the ME or Central Asia.
So where do they go? To the mosque of course.
Thanks - keep up the good work!

Worth repeating....

Calling Asa and the rest of the impotant government.Homeland Security? Hahaha!
"Homeland Security" - dangerous joke on America.
bump
This whole NAAFA thing was supposed to halt border crossing. Its the opposite now. It hasn't stopped anything except more US business crossing the border south.
As for protection of the border. When this Iraq business is finally done...the Guard and reserve will be bankrupt. No one is going to want to join. States will have to go back to militia activity, and I think AZ, Texas and New Mexico will likely start a state border militia. I'b betting on this already. If you offer free scholorships to border area universities, you can enlist 10,000 students each year from those states to dedicate toward border-protection and educational actviities. We all benifit from this deal.
