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.
The point is there will always be a boogeyman for you guys to throw in people's faces.
Considering that Jeb's son is for open borders, just like his Uncle, well, I would take a guess that Jeb is too.
Yup, sad but true, I'd vote to be able to vote for a CP candidate sometime but things being what they are, I can't. maybe, CP members should think about joing the R.P. and helping out.
I forgot about Canada and the coming Shari'ia law.
"When it suits their purposes". There's the rub. LA County was forced to remove a cross from its seal recently. I'm not sure if this is already starting to happen, but there was a huge whinefest from the ACLU and the usual gang of idiots about Christian symbols.
There is a slim glimmer of hope, though. After 9/11, Dianne Feinstein shed her chicken feathers briefly, and started acting like an outraged American ;-)
Hasn't done any good. Besides, if you vote RP then they think you accept their platform. Considering that they know that a lot of their party are against open borders, they should know better.
Oh, Jeb's son. Hmmm, and sonny boy picked up his attitude from where? Good point. This why I think we should start thinking about the 2008 presidential election now.
Does she still though?
About four or five years ago one student wrote in a paper for a ROTC class on the topic of "Warfare of the Future" some similar comments. The teacher (who is no longer teaching, possibly retired) has a hissy, rejected the paper, claimed it was nonsense, and had the student write an new paper.
LOL, a group of terrorist claiming their camp is a 'paintball' camp is a lot different than your sons or my grandaughter actually playing paintball games.
I keep watching every day and those suckers never show up.
Actually, it'd be nice for us all to have a nice shoot without range fees.
Remember fear sells newspapers.
And votes! There's always a boogeyman.
The truth this evidence represents means nothing to the Socialistias who govern America. Our entire future has been bartered away and all my and your pleadings ammount to is a fart in the wind. For those of us who pay the bills and know the whole truth of the issues at hand; here is the dirty little secret everybody knows all to well. We are "dead meat" and will be sacrificed as fanatics and lunatics for trying to awaken a slumbering nation to the danger that has moved in next door waiting to pounce. Even now our historical internal enemies are working double overtime to get guns banned and taken away from the patriots of America.
Ummmmmhhh....maybe it's not going to be so different.
Both my boys are unabashedly pro-life--and Hildebeeste has clearly stated that in her humble opinion, pro-lifers are "terrorists."
That puts a different light on their paintball game, should ElReno become AG again, eh?
bump to the top
We need to get used to that distraction.
Y'all are incorrigible!!!
I'm in!!
Hell, we can wrap them around balloons with stupid faces scribbled onto them then pop the balloons!!
That can't speak english.
You can't go anywhere in the southern U.S. and escape people speaking only mexican. It is not spanish; it is a bastardized version at best.
Why the hell should I hire someone who can barely speak pigeon english? Well I won't, so no capitalism for them.
By the way, illegal is ILLEGAL!!!
Leftist speak from the state that brought us President Clinton.
And yes, only a fool wouldn't be disturbed and alarmed at millions pouring into our country illegally, unabated.
Of course, you're right. You're preaching to the choir. I was speaking of the best of all possible worlds and a simpler time. Our culture is now bastardized, too, unfortunately. Thanks to PC correctness, lawyers run amok, God's gone from schools, town halls and anywhere else He'd do some good. And because we're overwhelmed with this latest illegal mass migration from the south, we're in grave danger of losing the country. That wise Senator from California? Hayakawa? Sp? Sorry, can't recall, he's dead now, but he pushed for English as the official language for years. Politicians dragged their feet, and we now have Babylon on our hands.
