"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!" ....

I saw the article written by Tombstone Tumbleweed and it was pulled quite quickly off FR. The only reason I could figure is that border guards were quoted in the article saying they had been told not to tell about what they were seeing for national security reasons. It was a compelling article and I wondered if you might clarify why it would have been pulled. Thanks!
Hi Reb Raider... Is this it???

Cochise County, Arizona
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 OTM's, "other than Mexicans" east to the Chiricahua Mountains. 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 Wilcox station encountered a large group of suspected illegal border crossers, estimated to be around 100, 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 decent.According to a Border Patrol field agent, the men were suspected to be Iranian or possibly Syrian nationals.
"One thing's for sure, these guys didn't 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 we're told not to say a thing to the media, but I have to," said the agent, whose name will obviously remain anonymous.
The 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 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 also reports that groups of heavily armed paramilitary drug smugglers have also been seen in the same area. "We've 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 Wilcox headquarters, we might get a response a few hours later. We call them in to the Border Patrol, we only have the Wilcox station, and they're so darned far away. By the time they send in the helicopters these groups are long gone. I don't know how many they catch but they're coming through here heavy right now."
On or about the evening of June 21, 2004, agents from the Wilcox 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.
Can you show us just one person who illegally crossed over the Mexican border who has been charged with terrorist related activities?
You should be ashamed for encouraging people to call the terrorist hotline every time they see someone they suspect is in violation of INS rules. That just might be a federal offense.
No you're wrong. It needs IMMEDIATE attention !!!
LOL...lol....amazing...just amazing...
They know it..they just refuse to do anything about it. Can't interfere with their donor's cheap labor, ya know. God help them when there is another attack on US citizens and the terrorists can be traced to the Mexican border.
One of the posters hires illegals. Can you guess which one it is?
Welcome aboard.
