Maybe in the past Christians in Iraq would have a hard time getting out , but with the new government, this is hard to believe that an Iraqi would have to connect from Bagdad to Greece, then Spain and then to Mexico City, then to California, using fake passports....unless they were up to no good...

This is my wife's hometown.... they have discovered 3 tunnels leading to the US from Mexicali

[Finalapproach29er]

Does anything embarass/shame this Government?

[2banana]

I guess the Mexicans don't like illegal immigrants either...

[angcat]

And financed. I can't even afford a trip like that!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Unfortunately the government will still not get a clue and secure the borders.

Maybe in the past Christians in Iraq would have a hard time getting out...

The question is out to where? Who would accept them? Much easier to get in the US, ( and stay here,) as an illegal alien.

Kiryakous is a Chaldean Christian name.

"The men were being held at a prison in Mexicali pending charges for using false documents."

Hey, at least they weren't "undocumented immigrants."

[Amish with an attitude]

They caught these, how many have slipped through undetected?

[Tiger Smack]

nothing to see here.....move along please

[nuconvert]

"she was turned to immigration officials and is awaiting deportation,"

They're deporting an American citizen for trying to bring her brother into the country? Is this what they normally do to others, say originally from Mexico?

[newgeezer]

immigration officials discovered the Dutch passports they were carrying were false

Proving once again that rank amateurs can be discovered. Eventually. Maybe.

America, bless God before He finally stops blessing America.

[joesnuffy]

This cant be true...so many have told us that terrorist would never come across the US border WALKING......

And that the new rules of Homieland Security were keeping terrorists out of America

Hopefully we deport all family members here who knew anything about this and did nothing to report it...

Including the Imams and shut down the mosque(s) and Islamic Center(s) who supports this kind of invasion...

But then since Islam is a religion of peace and we all worship the same god..blah..blah..blah...we probably wont do much at all about it except file charges on the 'vigilantes' who are.. "just tying to do the job American government officials don't seem to want to do"...

imo

They are coming. Some are already here in hiding and it won't be until the next disaster that the govt will act but even then it will be used as an excuse to further degrade Constitutional rights and as a justification for reinstating the draft to expand the military. I hope it isn't so but something tells me that there's more than just politics afoot here.

Forget these terrorists, it's more important that we strip-search and interrogate American retirees returning from their trips to Canada.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Mexicans ain't afraid to use racial profiling.

It really doesn't matter if they are Christian, Muslim, on terrorist watch lists, guilty of crime ... non of that matters.

The issue here, to me anyway, is that people don't just wake up one Monday morning and decide to hop a plane across the globe and wander into the dessert on the US Mexico border. THERE IS CLEARLY A SUPPORT NETWORK AND TRANSPORTATION PIPELINE AT WORK HERE. Do you know how to obtain a false passport? Do you know how to make your way through Jordon across the smuggling routes into Iraq? Of course you don't. Neither did these people know how to get into the US. They had help. The problem is that people have clearly set up businesses smuggling aliens across the border FROM THE MIDDLE EAST. If Chaldean Christians can do it then so can Bin Ladens cadre.

[philman_36]

It was not clear whether the Iraqis were linked to the Chaldean Christians...
Well DUH! Check and see if the sister, Alya Kiryakous Dawood Sako, is a Chaldean Christian or not. If one of the men is her brother then it would be likely that if she were a Chaldean Christian then he might well be one also.
Common sense is dead! It has to be...
