Congresswoman: Three Al Qaeda Caught in U.S. After Crossing Border with Mexico
Wednesday, November 9, 2005 | Kristinn

Posted on 11/09/2005 4:49:04 PM PST by kristinn

Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) let slip a bombshell disclosure at a news conference today to announce a bill targeting states that allow illegal aliens to get drivers licenses.

During the Q&A with reporters, Myrick gave as a reason for proposing the bill the recent capture of three al Qaeda terrorists at the U.S.-Mexico border.

A check of Google News turned up no references to this incident, yet Myrick stated this was a 'given fact.'

No reporter asked her about this revelation, but it was noted at the end of a Charlotte Observer article by Tim Funk.

Two Representatives from North Carolina, Virginia Foxx (R) and Patrick McHenry (R) stood with Myrick at the press conference. Neither commented on her matter of fact statement.

Rep. Myrick's remarks can be heard online at her Congressional Website here. the statement is made at about 8:45 into the press conference.

A call placed to Myrick's office in D.C. was not answered as the office is closed for the evening.

Transcript:

"Our main concern is, who's in our state? I mean this is a critical issue today. I mean they just arrested down on the border, what a couple of weeks ago, three al Qaeda members who came across from Mexico into the United States. I mean that's a given fact. They were holding them in the jail down there."

In Texas? I wonder if the civilian border watch had a hand in this?

That's my guess. There's people down there now who are watching everything.

Don't want to let facts get into the way but at least six of the hijackers were here illegally, and in reality all were here illegally as they lied about their purpose for entry....

immigration violators were also involved in world trade center bombing, millenium plot, and the new york subway bombing conspiracy...

most crooks use one avenue such as obtaining legal visas and when that avenue comes to light and is given closer scrutiny, they try other avenues...thus the open porous border...only idiots would keep using the same modus operandi that has been exposed...

It simply amazes me on how everybody focuses on Mexico, when the bigger threat is north of the border in Canada.



Yep, those darned Canadian Illegal Aliens! Coming in here by the millions they are, driving down wages, filling up prisons, spreading their drugs, speaking spanish in schools and not even trying to learn english! Why, we should build a wall on the northern border immediately!

(sarcasm)

What amazes ME regarding this thread is the title SAYS Mexico, yet it's been turned around to the Canadian borders.

A lot of time, if you listen to talk radio or watch the news, the liberals do that alot. They turn things around to take the focus off of the subject at hand.

FOX just said (Wed. @12:00 midnight, EST) someone was caught with anti aircraft missiles, and had a map of California on the screen. Darn, I missed the whole story. There was another country involved with the weapons. Keep an ear open if you hear something.

I would think it better if we had no mosques. It's clear that they are staging areas for conquest.

What we need is an Extermination Order.

Where is Lilburn W. Boggs when you need him?

Actually I am a mexican and my green card expired 20 years ago.

Which naturally explains all of the Pacific Northwest Webcams such as the Columbia River Gorge on your "About" Page :-)

Cheers!

Full Disclosure: If you make $2 million a year, tax-free, can you send me $20,000 a year as a tax-free (to me) gift?

I checked out your home page, I see you are flying the Canadian flag on your page. But I see you are linking to KGW Portland, Ore Channel 8 webcams...Are you Canadian, or American?

Regards

We need to expand the minuteman project and allow them to "shoot to kill". That may sound harsh but would rather see legal citizens get killed by these illegals?

Why are we so lax with criminal but are so willing to kill babies?

"Why? I agree with Bush and his efforts to secure the borders. IIRC he has spent more than his predecessor on the situation. It was a wreck when he came to Office, and I think he will set it in better order by 2008 than when he arrived in 2000."

Bwwwwaaahahhahahhahahahahahahah!

Oh, that was a good one!

ROTFLMAO!

That'll keep me laughing until the terrorists that George 'the nincompoop' has let cross our wide open borders take out a major American city.

In the meantime, I'll keep working to support the millions of illegal scum that are a net loss to our economy and a drain on our treasury and the U.S. Taxpayers.
