Napolitano: Terrorists Enter U.S. from Mexico From Time to Time By Edwin Mora July 30, 2012
(CNSNews.com) -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Congress last week that terrorists intending to harm the American people enter the U.S. from Mexico from time to time."
At a July 25 hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Ron Barber (D-Ariz.) asked Napolitano: As you know, Madam Secretary, there have been anecdotal reports about material evidence of the presence of terrorists along our southern border. My question is, is there any credible evidence that these reports are accurate and that terrorists are, in fact, crossing our southern border with the intent to do harm to the American people?
Napolitano answered: With respect, there have been--and the Ababziar matter would be one I would refer to that's currently being adjudicated in the criminal courts--from time to time, and we are constantly working against different and evolving threats involving various terrorist groups and various ways they may seek to enter the country.
What I can tell you, however, is that that southern border--the U.S.-Mexico border--is heavily, heavily staffed at record amounts of manpower, materiel, infrastructure and the like, and we are constantly making sure we're doing all we can to make that border as safe as possible, she said.
An August 2009 audit by the Government Accountability Office that focused on Customs and Border Protection (CBP) checkpoints said that in fiscal 2008 CBP reported there were three individuals encountered by the Border Patrol at southwest border checkpoints who were identified as persons linked to terrorism.

Ah come on, it’s only about 5 or 6 a month...not an outrageous amount of terrorists. After all, our wonderful Homeland Security folks (like the illegal immigration group) will stop them... Why worry...??

From time to time? Like from say 1:00pm to 1:05pm and from 1:05pm to 1:10pm and so on?

What a relief. Only three terrorists crossed the southern border in 2008. Not too much of a concern, then.

Now that King Barry has opened up the borders completely by imperial decree, they can come and go 24/7.

“From Time to time” Nappy has a lucid thought. Not this time! OK, she never has even an idle thought.
We must change this administration or we are all screwed.

We’ve been telling you that for a long time. Even before you were Gov. of AZ.
Did you listen to us then?
Nope!

Why doesn’t this lezbo learn from the other lezbo and find a church to set on fire and kill a bunch of children for a distraction.

But not, I suppose, if you're bunkered-down with all the other VIPs drinking heavily and trying to figure out what went wrong.

It's all good. The border is open. The Sinolas flood the common market with brown frown, while congress gets all the good blow.
At least the mudhamedans aren't flying airplanes.
