Is there is an invisible army of terrorists gathering in America today? The mainstream media and the Bush administration do not want to talk about it.
In July, Defense Watch reported that, in Arizona, an area called the Naco Strip has become a primary route of illegal entry by “significant numbers of Arab-speaking males.” It took a small town weekly newspaper, the Tombstone Tumbleweed, to reveal that, “males of possible Syrian and Iranian descent have been detained in the past few weeks.” Since October 1, 2003, 5,510 illegal aliens designated “Other Than Mexican” (OTM) have been apprehended while crossing the Arizona terrain. These OTM’s are not here to pick vegetables, mow lawns, pluck chickens, or wash cars.
Just do the math. If only five Muslim terrorists crossed the border every day for a year that would add up to 1,825 people ready to do the bidding of Osama bin Laden. If this has been going on for just the years since 9-11, that’s an army of 5,475. Then, too, there are an estimated 2.9 million Muslims in America. Extremists, worldwide, are estimated to be about ten percent of the overall population. Applied to the U.S., that represents a potential 290,000 American Muslims sympathetic to the Islamist cause. No matter how you slice and dice the numbers, it suggests that a substantial threat exists and is exacerbated by the failure to stop terrorists at our borders.
They constitute a virtual army of terrorists who, if not apprehended, could create a day of havoc from coast to coast when al Qaeda gives the signal. When that day comes, remember that you read about it here first.
Or, as some argue, there’s no proof that any al Qaeda operatives have crossed the border. If, however, any were captured, normal counter-terrorism procedures would be to deny this and seek to extract information from those in custody.The 9-11 operatives were here thanks to sloppy immigration procedures and, in the case of illegal aliens, the estimates are that eight to twelve million live among us. That is a huge margin for error.
The topic the Bush administration wants to stay away from until after November 2, Election Day is immigration. Some have called the Bush administration immigration policies “schizophrenic”, but they are not. They are globalist, i.e., the views of someone for whom national borders should be regarded as outmoded while we all join hands in one big, global neighborhood.
One can understand the “schizophrenic” label, given the hue and cry about Bush’s so-called unilateralism and willingness “to go it alone”, but this is the same administration that supports a variety of policies that are globalist, most of which come straight out of the United Nations. The way civics is taught in our schools today is designed to create generations of globalists for whom our national sovereignty and the Bill of Rights are just a bunch of 18th century “ideas.”
There are a number of problems with this see-no-evil immigration policy. On August 10, Jerry Seper of the Washington Times, reported that, under President Bush’s guest-worker program, “Millions of illegal aliens in the United States would be free from arrest and deportation, have access to tax-deferred savings accounts and Social Security credits, and get unrestricted travel to and from their home countries.” This constitutes a massive dollar transfer to Mexico.
Homeland Security Undersecretary, Asa Hutchinson, responsible for the nation’s borders and transportation security, has apparently lost his senses. In a recently reported response to questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee, Hutchinson supported the Bush immigration policies while acknowledging that the “incentives” being offered illegal aliens are generous to a fault. The National Border Patrol Council that represents 10,000 of the non-supervisory agents called the guest-worker plan a “slap in the face to anyone who has ever tried to enforce the immigration laws of the United States."
In January 2004, the Mexican government acknowledged that the number of their people entering the US illegally had increased 66% from 1990 to 2002. Naturally, Mexico’s president, Vicente Fox, wants Bush to grant de facto amnesty to an estimated eight to eleven million illegal aliens already working in the United States, the majority of whom are Mexican. Amnesty and any other program of this nature is simply a reward for breaking the laws of the United States of America. There are even some voices suggesting they should be given the right to vote!
One little discussed cost of the open door policy being pursued by the Bush administration is the increase in the cost of law enforcement where illegal aliens gather in numbers. Right now, according to Seper, “About 80,000 illegal criminal aliens, including convicted murders, rapists, drug dealers, and child molesters who served prison time and were releases, are loose on the streets of America, hiding from federal immigration authorities.”
They don’t have to hide that hard. According the figures for 2002 from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, more than 375,000 known illegal aliens have been ordered deported, but have disappeared pending immigration hearings. Lee Boyd Malvo, the sniper who terrorized the Washington area, was one of them.
Recently, Brazil agreed to step up the policing of the Triple Border Area with Paraguay and Argentina. According to a Washington Times editorial, “It has long been identified as a fund-raising, training and procurement haven for diverse terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and Hezbollah.” The ease with which terrorists could be infiltrated into the US from these South American strongholds cannot be underestimated.
When the facts are examined, there are few good reasons to permit the massive daily influx of Mexicans and other illegal aliens, but there is one very good reason to shut it down completely.
Put 'em all on a big boat to Greenland.
Now there's a thought. LOL At least they couldn't turn around and run right back across the border.
The National Guard's primary duty is to guard their part of the nation. They're trained, properly equipped, not subject to bribes, have an inviolate chain of command, answerable to UCMJ, can't form unions and their budget is secure, not subject to political trifling. Using them for what they're for should not be considered a radical idea.
I already explained self-deportation. No roundups, no cattle-cars, no expense - just some scofflaw employers serving easy time for violating laws that have been on the books for many years.
Agreed.
Additionally, the American public is strongly against illegal immigration. President Bush should have capitalized on that instead of foolishly pushing in the opposite direction.
Skewed facts and misrepresentations presented as news articles by writers with agendas as observed in the article above are also big problems.
Read carefully.
Ok by me. Take it to Congress and get it enacted. By the way, will the laws against employers be state laws or federal? Can you do this without violating their US and or state constitutional rights?
Isn't Mother Nature wonderful? I'd like to see Fox try and send her a formal complaint against brutalizing his citizens ;-)
Zot my probate lawyer, PLEASE!!!
"Why not jail and confiscate the property of those hiring Illegals? They'll deport themselves. Cost to Americans...peanuts. Gain for Americans..literally billions."
I hate it when everybody says nothing can be done. The solution is simple. Add to the aforementioned NO taxpayer handouts of any kind, no education and no anchor babies, no welfare and free medical and they'll run off within two weeks. Problem solved.
The question is...why isn't this being done? Why do both sides want open borders? This is a bi-partisan issue. There is virtually no difference in how the Democrats and Republicans stand on the issue.
I want to know why. I'm not buying that lame excuse...the boomers are due to retire and we need more workers crap. They cost us more than they bring into the economy; alot more. Less than 6% pay any taxes at all.
There are only two answers left: one is that our politicians are owned by the business community that benefits from the cheap labor or two, there really is a NWO, seeking to overthrow us by weakening us as a nation, breaking us down culturally as well as financially via outsourcing and insourcing.
If anyone can come up with another reason, I'd like to hear it.
Good night, tomorrow I'm supposed to go down and Freep a mob of Kerry supporters here in Nashville.
I think it's just naked qavering fear of the avaricious, loud-mouth latino lobby.
Keep safe. They're a nasty bunch.

It's time they feared us. In the meantime the loud-mouth lobby is growing by leaps and bounds. The more we let in, the larger it gets. They are seriously affecting our politics here in the West.
Bump.
Copied into my calendar, Nov. 3, after "hear Pat Robertson's remarks on 700 Club."
I skimmed it. Jihadists are hell bent on destroying America and Western Civilization. They are willing to blow themselves up for their cause, so why wouldn't they take advantage of our borders?
Before the stories of Arab speaking illegals entering along with the garden variety, I was (and still am)concerned about the years of recruiting done in American prisons. See the problem with this? How are we supposed to weed them out? You add that problem with the influx of Arab terrorists, and you're looking at a disaster waiting to happen.

I agree. This is exactly the formula they've always used to take over nations, and quite successfully I might add. Look at Indonesia.
Therein may be the problem.
Are you saying that as long as an author inserts a few "truths" into an otherwise misleading article, that you can agree with the article as a whole?
Amazing.
That's right. I remember that when we were in business back in the 80's and 90's we used to have to gather INS info on new employees as well as a social security card. We supplied accounting systems for labor intensive agricultural companies, and I can remember our clients having quite a bit of problems with this. Seems an underground black market sprang up immediately after they started cracking down on illegal farm workers. The illegals were supplied counterfeit documentation by forgers and it was a huge mess. Got so bad that once some of these forgers got hold of a farm worker's pay check, they could print up counterfeit checks on their computers and it created some real headaches. And at some point, the farmworkers unionized and that even created more problems for the employers. I've been out of it for awhile, but I know that because of the union and INS problems, some of the larger ag firms went bankrupt and some in the industry are still struggling today.
LOL!
WTF are those vehicles doing in America, ab? Where dod you find those pics?
