Don’t want them reproducing.

IEDs, beheadings, murdering innocents.

They stole the Islamist playbook.

How long before they start using them on this side of the border? haven’t they already threatened law enforcement?

As agents clear out Mexican gangs, more brutal ones move in
Washington Times ^ | April 7, 2010 | Jerry Seper

The bodies that turned up on a squalid back street in the border town of Reynosa in December were no longer human. The torsos showed deep lacerations and punctures; the severed heads were badly beaten and mutilated. Crudely butchered limbs lay scattered across the tarmac stained by blood.

“See. Hear. Shut up, if you want to stay alive,” read a note written - like so many others - in block letters on a splattered poster board.

Beheadings and dismemberments have since become the cartels’ signature crime - to punish those who oppose or betray them, to establish their turf, to terrorize the citizenry against testifying against them, and to press community and political leaders to collaborate.

Heads, torsos and severed legs and arms have been strewn along city streets throughout Mexico, mostly in border towns where the Gulf and Sinaloa cartels are in a pitched battle against each other and with Los Zetas.

....dozens of people have been decapitated in recent months. Sometimes, the heads are lined up neatly in rows, displayed along with banners designed to intimidate enemies, rivals and police.

Beheading was a lesson the drug smugglers learned after watching Iraqi insurgents carry out videotaped beheadings, Mexican Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna said during a 2007 news conference after the discovery of one of the first severed heads.

Zapata County, Texas, Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr., who has experienced the border violence firsthand, said his department started seeing beheadings in Mexico about a year after the videotaped beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002 in Pakistan.

....the cartels have increased their efforts to recruit gang members along the southwestern border, including U.S. citizens who are a particularly valuable asset ....

Yes, they’ve threatened American law enforcement officers. And yes, Napolitano won’t know what to do about these.

Somalis with terrorist links feared headed to U.S. border

[snip]”Somalis with ties to a terrorist organization are believed to be plotting to illegally enter the United States after being mistakenly released from custody in Mexico, a confidential federal law enforcement report said.” SNIPPET: “Included in the group is Mohamed Osman Noor, 35, of Somalia, who U.S. officials suspect has strong ties to Al-Shabaab Mujahideen, an Islamist insurgency group in the ongoing war in Somalia with ties to al Qaeda. The report was written by an intelligence official with the Laredo Sector Border Intelligence Center, a joint federal task force under the Department of Homeland Security that operates on...

Is it a coincidence Afghanistan is one of the largest exporters of opium? Drugs, weapons, expertise. It’s your one stop shopping.

We are kidding ourselves if we don’t think that Hezbollah and Hamas are in Mexico. Plenty of mosques have been built in Chiapas in recent years. Juarez is nothing but Gaza-on-the-Rio. Expect the first nuke attack on American soil to be detonated there.

US fears Hamas, Hizballah setting up shop in Mexico
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1921215/posts

November 05, 2007

Washington believes the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist militia Hizballah are looking to set up operations in Mexico with the aim of eventually infiltrating the United States, according to a former CIA counter-terrorism official.

Robert Grenier, who until recently was head of the CIA’s counter-terrorism center, told a press conference in Mexico last Thursday that the Muslim terrorist organizations see the illegal immigration and drug trafficking networks in the Latin American nation as the most effective way to move people and equipment into the US.

Grenier said that the Bush Administration fears both Hamas and Hizballah may already have sleeper cells operating in Mexico.

Hamas and Hizballah have both threatened in the past to extend their war against Israel to include the United States.

Yet we sit here and do nothing. Worse than nothing because our officials say there is no problem. Our media will not report half of what happens in Mexico or the U.S. border or even in the interior related to Mexico on the nightly news and many of our citizens- including Republicans refuse to hear the truth instead believing the lies of the liberals. Many right here on FR refuse to believe the truth and think if we just give amnesty to all the illegals our border issues will evaporate.

We are going to wake one day to major terrorist attacks in this country due to terrorists crossing this border, at the same time the drug war will be raging here and our officials and most of our citizens will be stunned. I have never seen so many clueless people.

Aw hell. For 10 years I've been saying that Mexico is far better off than most countries and there is no reason to let in the irridentists. Now Mexicans are crossing the Rio to escape violence.
In 376 Goths crossed the Danube into the Eastern Roman Empire. 2 years later a Roman Emperror was killed at Hadrianople. 100 years later the Goths sacked the last Western Roman Emperor.
