The FBI is investigating an alleged human smuggling operation based in Chaparral, N.M., that agents say is bringing "Iraqis and other Middle Eastern" individuals across the Rio Grande from Mexico.
An FBI intelligence report distributed by the Washington, D.C. Joint Terrorism Task Force, obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com, says the illegal ring has been bringing Iraqis across the border illegally for more than a year.
Border Patrol officials in the area said they were unaware of the specifics of the FBI's report, and federal prosecutors in New Mexico told ABCNews.com they had no current cases involving the illegal smuggling of Iraqis.
The FBI report, issued last week, says the smuggling organization "used to smuggle Mexicans, but decided to smuggle Iraqi or other Middle Eastern individuals because it was more lucrative." Each individual would be charged a fee of $20,000 to $25,000, according to the report.
The people to be smuggled would "gather at a house on the Mexican side of the border" and then cross the Rio Grande into the U.S., the report says.

Just in time for the BUSH/KENNEDY AMNESTY???
This president has violated his oath of office by refusing to protect America against invasion, and he should be impeached.

Since they're bringing in hundreds of tons of drugs through the Mexican border every year, we might as well welcome in the terrorist too.
That's funny.
We already have millions crossing into our country illegally, during wartime, along with hundreds of tons of drugs smuggled in, and whatever else they please to bring in...So why would anyone be bit surprised if there are hundreds of terrorist mixed in with the other millions that are pouring in?
To be honest, it would actually be harder to believe if the terrorist were not entering with all the others.
It's like throwing out a piece of steak, and not expecting flies to land on it.
But The President, Tony Snow and others have all said we don’t have a problem, because we have not had a terrorist attack on US soil in the last six years since 9-11! /sarc
What the hell would FDR or Harry Truman or Governor Earl Warren have done if JAPANESE NATIONALS were being smuggled into the United States through Mexico in 1943 and 1944, at the same time we were active in the Pacific Theater??
So help me, if we are attacked, and it is shown it came through infiltration through out Southern Border, THIS American is going to hold Our President fully accountable--only the Nation will get my support, I will not close ranks behind him and his stupid--in fact DANGEROUS--immigration and border protection policies.

LOL! I know, OBL is actually in Mexicoistan and has crossed the Rio Grande!
I can just see Shirt-off saying that.
It's almost as if they want this to happen.
The borders have not been secured (and will never be completely secured) for one reason, and one reason alone: NAU
There might some covert reasons at play, but yes, that is one of the larger, more overt reasons.
