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.

Ed Royce, Republican Congressman is now reporting that the Department of Justice knows Hezbollah sympathizers are definitely among those that are being smuggled in illegally from Mexico.

. The Congressman stated there is spreading trend of Mexican and South American Mosques, and they are actively recruiting the disenfranchised, Mexicans, and those from South American countries.

Congressman Royce just stated AlQuida is actively attempting to put their operatives into the United States through the Mexican border.

>>In addition, the Congressman implied it's so out of control that Mid-Easterners are paying top dollar to Mexican smugglers, and the smugglers are now opting to bring in the Mid-Easterners before others due the lucrative money involved. <<

Statements were made by Congressman Royce on KFI Los Angeles, AM 640 7/18/07.

Absolutely sickening to think that they’re just flowing into this country, unimpeded, and will bide their time as they wait for the signal.

HOW MORONIC IS THIS GOVERNMENT????

I hope everyone is ready with supplies for when the cities start going up in flames and our supply lines are cut off. I’m right in the heart of the matter, with plenty of terrorist cells around and easy access to the interstate. But if I make it through the attacks, I want to be prepared.

At the minimum, you'd think troops would be on their way to the borders, in force, stationed at every point of entry, and all along our borders, interviewing every single person, conducting checks, scrutinizing, confirming documents, and searching every single vehicle entering, etc.

We were just listening to the Congressman, making these statements, and it is truly beyond belief what he was reporting.

As do I, but I know that's not the case because too many people are either sleeping or in denial.

But what’s currently going on is NOT old news.

It is current.

This means that this Administration has continued to allow Hezbollah to come in through another terrorist smuggling operation.

That’s my point. It has been going on for more than a year after the FBI Director announced it. If this country is hit again by another 9/11 scale attack, the buck stops in the WH, especially if it is discovered that the perpetrators came across the Mexican border or were visa overstays like four of the 9/11 hijackers.

Good! We semi-are, though one can never have enough, and it depends how long we are cut off.

Of course, it will probably be like that Twilight Zone episode I saw recently. Everyone had been warned for years to have a fallout shelter, but only one house in the neighborhood did. So the neighbors went literally crazy, trying to break into that shelter, and the one family that would have survived was endangered. It was a false alarm... but...

Can I jump in? There are too many deniers believing everything they hear on TV.

I listened to Glenn Beck tonight. All of this NIE report, the war in Iraq, and the selling of the war, coupled with the horrible threat in the US, give me pause.

This guy on Beck, just like a liberal telling a lie, never blinked, but was trying to say they will come in through Canada and that on the US-Mexico border, all folks are just coming over to make a living.

Truth is, who cares? He kept bringing up the only people coming in through Mexico, were hard workin’ folks doing the job to help their family.

The Bush Administration has lost their credibility on any kind of WOT front in the US. It is a joke. At this time, I will support Iraq and the poor guys and girls who are sent there. But... it sure is one giant sized disconnect why they have to put their lives on the line for a nation about ready to surrender its sovereignty for the benefit of the elitists. I will say this because I have a son in the Navy. He is out next year and I am happy about that. Maybe some of those quislings in Congress can compel their lifeblood to die for the NAU.

I will admit, they have been out in the last week trying to regain trust.

Its easy Bush, shut down the borders, go after employers, and back up and protect US citizens as you took an oath to do. I do not think the oath of office was to back up US business that likes cheap slave labor to line the elite pocket.

Why is that so tough to comprehend?

Yeah, I am very aware of that, and the Congressman mentioned, this has been an on-going compromise of security via the Mexican border.

But what is new news, is this is a *continued*, on-going, illegal entry of terrorist, and terrorist sympathizers into our country from Mexico.

In addition, seeing this as just "old news", or nothing new, should be cause for alarm and outrage.

So bad now, the Mexican smugglers are opting to smuggle in these Mid-Easterners due to the lucrative money as opposed to just "regular" illegal aliens, with their limited funds.

Because, it's not in Spanish? Seriously though, you're absolutely right. There's a method to his madness...and it's called the NAU. He's long ago shrugged off any thought about loyalty, if there ever was any, to America or legal American citizens.

But like prophets, who were ignored, many of predicted back in 2001, this was EXACTLY what AQ and other terrorists would do.

They could still shut it down TODAY if they wanted to, but like you said, they don’t. That at least might keep a few of the worst ones out. Right now, they are multiplying during the free-for-all madness.

Then, lock the rest out of the benefits, and they’d start leaving. How hard is that?? You know 29 - 41% are only here to collect welfare and breed on our dime, and could never last long without their “free” money.
