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.

Indeed. canada has a lot of very attractive real estate, but they are hip deep in vermin and importing more each day.
Because of the trust that has been placed in them, and because of the courage and sacrifice represented by those who went before, the degree of evil in Washington is, in an historic context, in some ways even more pernicious than that found in any Islamic terrorist mindset.
In effect, a Quisling.
When I read that I started racking my brain trying to remember a poem(she said it was also a song but I never heard it) our History teacher read to us. I could only remember a couple of sentences, but, through the wonder if the internet I only had to google the lines I remembered.
The entire poem is unbelievably beautiful. Here are a few lines, the ones I remembered. lol
The fame of our arms, of our laws the mild sway,
Had justly ennobled our nation in story,
'Till the dark clouds of faction obscured our young day,
And enveloped the sun of American glory.
But let traitors be told,
Who their country have sold,
And bartered their God for his image in gold,
That ne'er will the sons, of columbia be slaves
while the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its waves.
Rather poignant, isn’t it.
Yes it is.
What is? I think we handled this thread, while you were AWOL, quite admirably, fofl!
"Do not go gentle into that good night." : )
Well, that could be a problem. If they are making a profit for their employer because of using slave labor......i.e., illegals...
I'll rage against. lol
I find that the oddest part of the whole announcement. As you earlier stated, there is no surprise of the contents of the announcement, as we have long known that terrorists are and have been coming through both borders.
ahhh...good, you knew the reference.
RAGE RAGE.....yes!
Oh yes.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
I just saw you yourself were referencing to that poem...I hadn’t read up that far. I only saw that you were correcting your typo....
great minds : )
LOL...maybe they think you are saying "MAS lettuce".
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

-- Samuel Adams
One more time.......for emphasis.
Where are OUR great men with such words to stir?????
Happening more frequently lately. I consider myself in great company.
As do I, pph!
