Urgent Terrorism Threat on Our Southern Border

"In recent months dozens of Arabic illegal aliens have been apprehended in Arizona trying to enter the country from Mexico. Only a small weekly newspaper, the Tombstone Tumbleweed, reported these incidents --- and revealed that not only have Syrians and Iranians been detained at the border but also that since October of last year over 5,510 illegal aliens that are "Other Than Mexican" (OTM) have been arrested. If these are the numbers that have been caught, imagine the tens of thousands that have not and are hiding out inside America waiting to strike!" ....

Go Ahead Leave The Door Open: Time Fans Bogus Immigration Fears

I find it incredible that politicians are brazen enough to not only want more illegal alienst but acutally provide them with perks not available to citizens.

Illegal aliens pose the greatest threat to our country. Instead of having our soliders die and be maimed in Iraq they should defend our borders. By far the greates threat to this country will come from within.

It's a copout of major proportions to say Americans don't have the resolve to confront the illegal migrant invasion. That's the same thing as saying there are millions of jobs Americans just won't do.

I don't know about you, but Asa Hutchinson sure isn't speaking on behalf of the many Americans I know on the subject of border control:

________________________

Enforcing existing immigration law is already impossible, as Homeland Security Undersecretary Asa Hutchinson recently acknowledged. He told The Washington Times that

it is "not realistic" to think that law-enforcement authorities can arrest or deport the millions of illegal aliens now in the United States. [Hutchinson] does not think the American public has the "will...to uproot" those aliens... Hutchinson also said taxpayers "might be afraid" to learn how much it would take in manpower and resources to control the nation's borders and described as "probably accurate" a statement that no law-enforcement officials are looking for the vast majority of the 8 million to 12 million illegal aliens thought to be in the country.

    "It's not realistic to say we're going to reduce that number," Mr. Hutchinson said during a luncheon meeting with editors and reporters at The Washington Times. "We don't set goals like that. Our goal is to enforce the law as we see violations of the law.
    "But I don't think America has the will," he added.

The nation's border czar is correct.

I'm open to your detailed plan to locate, identify, process and deport the 8-12 million currently resident illegals.

Have at it.

Got any solutions to go along with your indignation? Have at it.

[Brownie74]

It's not a question of my plan or your plan. It is the responsibility of this administration to enforce our existing immigration laws.

If Bush, Ridge, and Hutchinson would get off of their butts and begin doing their jobs things would start improving.

I don't care if you have a plan or not. Amuse yourself by reading Title 8, Section 12 U.S.C. for openers.

They could easily begin by cleaning up the Social Security number databases --- there is such massive fraud --- but it's not likely they will with our politicians seeking votes by actually saying that those who fraudulently use Social Security numbers might find themselves in for a nice fat reward -- an American Social Security check. Document fraud is a felony crime -- and these are criminals who are engaging in it.

The other way would be to have any illegal showing up to obtain free medical care provide the name of their employer who will be expected to pay --- you bring in illegals --- you pay for your own illegals and their children.

"In recent months dozens of Arabic illegal aliens have been apprehended in Arizona trying to enter the country from Mexico.

Bull Shit.

[Marine Inspector]

71 suspected illegal aliens were apprehended; among them were 53 males of middle-eastern decent.

More BS.

It can be done easily.

Happy, you obviously have spent considerable time researching the question of terrorists crossing the Mexican border. Have you ever found a case of anyone actually charged with a terrorist related offense? Or anyone with confirmed terrorists ties?

Everything so far that I have seen is just second hand rumors, exaggerated claims, urban legends, unnamed sources, suspicions, and tin foil hat conspiracy type innuendos.

"Have you ever found a case of anyone (illegally crossing the border) actually charged with a terrorist related offense? Or anyone with confirmed terrorists ties?"

_________________

There are several cases that are "under investigation," but the feds are not talking. That is why you aren't seeing it on any 3-letter channels.

HINT: The combination of having a border out of control plus a border out of control being used as an Islamic terrorist pipeline is just a little too much of a political bomb right before presidential elections.

[Marine Inspector]

You must be a Kerry fan.

It would be quite simple to get the illegals to leave, unfortunately, out corrupt leaders don't have the spine or the balls to do and they are supported by folks like you.

>>>One of the posters hires illegals. Can you guess which one it is?<<<


I'm thinking it's Bayourag. Of course, there's always the possibility Bayou is an illegal or just a silly young person who doesn't have a clue. Maybe we can just assume (take the insane risk) everyone who ambles across the border is nice and means us no harm!! Why, oh, why can't we all just get along??? Who knows how many terrorist activities have been perpetrated upon us (don't you think there's at least one criminal activity still open on the books that could have been committed by a terrorist) by all those nice (and possibly Republican!!!) people crossing the border from Mexico! Yeah!

>sarcasm, mixed with outrage and truth, off<

by time the info is made public, I fear it will be *after* an "event" ...

[bayourod]

"There are several cases that are "under investigation,"

Which cases? The woman caught at the airport with money is no longer suspected of having terrorist connections.

If I were planning a terrorist attack I would not risk having my agents attempt to enter the U.S. by trekking across a desert, swimming a river or climbing a fence. Even a one in ten chance of randomly being caught is too risky. I'd fly them first class or drive them across the Canadian border at an unmanned crossing.

If there was bulky equipment or bombs involved I'd smuggle them in by ship, truck, train or air freight.

But then the anti-immigrant folks aren't really concerned about terrorists at all are they? If they were they would be praising President Bush not bashing him.
