Rio Grande: Gateway to Terrorism-More and more Arab terrorists decide to make a run for the border
snips~~~~~~
Over the past month, border agents from Arizona and Texas have anonymously reported recent encounters with dozens of Arab men, who have made their way across the 2,000-mile Mexican border.
Patrol agents told one Arizona newspaper that 77 males "of Middle Eastern descent" were apprehended in June in two separate incidents. All were trekking through the Chiricahua mountains and are believed to have been part of a larger group of illegal immigrants. Many were released pending immigration hearings. According to Solomon Ortiz, the Congressman for Corpus Christi in Texas, similar incidents are "happening all over the place. It's very, very scary".
The two groups of Arab males were discovered by patrol guards from Willcox, Arizona. "These guys didn't speak Spanish," said one field agent, "and they were speaking to each other in Arabic. It's ridiculous that we don't take this more seriously. We're told not to say a thing to the media." A colleague told the paper: "All the men had brand-new clothing and the exact same cut of moustache." Local ranchers have also reported a rise in the sightings of large groups of young males.....
"My concern is, are we serious about terrorism?" said Sheriff Jernigan. "Or about homeland security? Because we're turning loose non-Mexicans by the thousands. Entering this country illegally is a crime, and we're turning our heads and ignoring it."
How safe are we from the terrorists within?
The concerns of most of us, however, in the post 9/11 world are rather more practical than cerebral. On being told that 20 of the 82 people on a hit-list of al-Qaeda terrorist suspects live in Scotland, many people want less intellectual argument about whether or not America is an imperial Soddom and Gomorrah and more analysis as to whether our laws are up to protecting us from any harm that these alleged terrorists might be planning. ...
We certainly live in strange times when those suspected of being the enemy within are, if arrested, heralded as greater martyrs than those who jumped to their deaths from the World Trade Centre, and when the arguments of human-rights lawyers can dismiss painstaking operations by the police and security services as so much chaff in the wind.
When these "illegal islamists" activate their plans to decimate us, there'll be another hearing to learn the deficiency causing it.
