Al-Qaida plans to use Mexico as a key infiltration route for sending operatives into the United States, according to a Mexican newspaper.
Mexican intelligence agencies have identified at least two routes for al-Qaida infiltration, the Proceso newspaper reported last week.
The infiltration plan calls for terrorists to depart South Africa for London and then take a non-stop flight to Mexico or a Central American nation and from there use migrant smuggling routes to reach northern Mexico and the United States.
Two of three suspected al-Qaida terrorists recently arrested in England and Pakistan had passed through Mexico with South African passports.
Another suspect, a Saudi national, is being sought in northeastern Mexico after traveling through Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala.
Adnan Shukrijumah is a key al-Qaida figure in North America. He was tracked to Sonora, Mexico, in August and is being sought by the FBI.
Three years after 9-11, putting effective barricades along 1% of the border constitutes only window dressing.
The 90% which is virtually unguarded is the real story, and a true disgrace.
I've seen a few recently that showed 50-100 invaders marching along like they were on safari, in the open. Do you have a nice one of them to post?
It is clearly an unfinished effort. For excuses, one has to remember that the enviro-Nazis have tied up miles upon miles of the new 12 foot tall steel fence construction with EPA complaints and lawsuits, but yes, more needs to be done.

You don't need a wall at all, except through some urban areas where it is a help. All you need are serious grown-up wartime rules of engagement.
The irony is, far few would die than die today of thirst in the desert, if invaders knew that the "Keystone Kops" rules were out, and serious rules were in. Why? They wouldn't cross, if we announced and enforced wartime rules of engagement.
And of course he won't, which proves that the Democrats are flat-out idiots for not taking advantage of this volatile issue. Bush basically handed it off to them and they ripped it up and threw it in the fire.
Good news for Bush. Bad news for Kerry. And anything but good news for the country.
