LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Police in southern California have arrested 60 people and broken up an Iraqi criminal ring accused of selling drugs, machine guns and improvised bombs out of an immigrant social club, authorities said on Thursday.

The swoop by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and local police targeted a network operating out of El Cajon, which is near San Diego and close to the border with Mexico.

Those attempting to convince all our foreign policies are just peachy, like with Mexico for instance, won't talk about the tens of thousands of Muslims and criminals being imported from the Mideast and Red China for the past 15 years or so. They're the same ones for the past decade to two, attempted to minimize the results of their own government leading the conga-line of tens of millions of illegal aliens into hometown USA.

but, but... the State department said they are looking out for criminals

Why don't the government just start strafing us?

Where's Milo Minderbinder when you need him?

Egyptian cotton, yum!

improvised bombs out of an immigrant social club

Now doesn't that just make us all real comfortable with open borders. We have "swarms" coming in and they're "swarming" amongst one another. Iraqies and Mexican illegals....who'd a thunk!

These Iraqi’s are Christian immigrants.

You mean like Rhino's I suspect...in name only. Whatever gets them to infiltrate to the US.

broken up an Iraqi criminal ring.....Lemme guess, more U.S. government approved ----immigrants

Well let's just call them what they are Muslims. So yes, Gov. approved Muslims...with the false title of Christian... Which also never ends.

They stand down at the airports and borders rolling out the red carpet for hundreds of thousands more foreigners.

While they frisk three year olds and the elderly Americans.

Did we listen?

Yes WE did...and sounded the warning. Few who heard and many covered their ears...and still do.

BTW...The Muslims and of course Hizbollah...have been known for sometime to be coming thru the Mexican border. The Government knows this.

Interesting is that Obama just used his Pres. powers, this week, to NOT deport the illegals here who are already marked for deportation....so not only is he inviting them here...he's not going to send those back who have been determined should be sent back. He wants the phony votes!

It is entirely possible that these folk were admitted legally by Bush I or II. The Chaldean Christians have probably been a persecuted minority in Irag. At least I noticed in the past year or two their churches have been attacked and people killed. I also read that their numbers in Iraq have been greatly reduced in the past decade.

I’ve said before and I will stand on this...if people think for a minute that the Muslims who are converting to Christianity are doing that because they believe it ..then they are swallowing the Muslim agenda to which is to infiltrate the Christian community as an easy way of acceptance ....while they continue their own agenda.

Same with stepping into government positions and helping us to get the bad guys.....they are being programmed to even take down their own as means to get deeper into our military...government and all other areas of security within our country.

Chaldean Christians have been in the Middle East for many centuries. As to whether Muslims have infiltrated their church as a means of getting to the US I have no information. I would hope our military would have enough sense to vet them through the church patriarchs.

Trust but verify. Something seldom utilized in the here and now. Why? ... Politically Incorrect. One only need read the moslem holy book to find the truth of what a moslem mind is actually like. No offense intended, FRiend, and may you remain an optimist. America needs optimists. America also needs Trust but Verify.

It’s a major issue with converts & all the more reason to keep an apprehensive eye on them at all times.

I can't believe I am defending the foreigners who have taken over my city but a small correction is necessary. These people are from Iraq but they are Assyrian Christians -- they are not muslims. They left Iraq because they were being persecuted by muslims. I live in El Cajon and know many, they are mostly conservative and attend Catholic church on Sunday. They hosted a party downtown the day American forces took Baghdad, it was a joyous occasion for them as a community.

With that said, they are not known for following the rules or the law. A Chaldean family lives in one of my rentals and the man of the house tried to talk me into renting the unit for a lower price if he paid cash; he suggested that I didn't have to report the income so I would actually make more money. My guess is he doesn't report fully what he makes running his liquor store and was sharing with me how he does it. The Chadeans, as they are known, are Christians not muslims and that is who this story is about.

The federal government imports terrorists so they’ll have an excuse to crack down on Tea Partiers.

I have no doubt about that. This country killing government would hand out visas to cannibals from the Congo then pass laws demanding respect and affirmative action for the cannibal community.

Since their good Christians but criminals, maybe we should import several hundred thousand more. What do ya think?
