Border rancher: 'We’ve found prayer rugs out here. It’s unreal'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 16 JAN 2019 | Anna Giaritelli

LORDSBURG, N.M. — Ranchers and farmers near the U.S.-Mexico border have been finding prayer rugs on their properties in recent months, according to one rancher who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by human smugglers.

The mats are pieces of carpet that those of the Muslim faith kneel on as they worship during their unauthorized trek into and through the United States.

"There’s a lot of people coming in not just from Mexico," the rancher said. "People, the general public, just don’t get the terrorist threats of that. That’s what’s really scary. You don’t know what’s coming across. We’ve found prayer rugs out here. It’s unreal. It’s not just Mexican nationals that are coming across."

Never seen a prayer rug that looks like a Mexican Blanket. Not even close.

Your mentioned credentials truly are not impressive.

I'll take the rancher's word, over yours.

“I found prayer rugs, Korans and other evidence that not all of the illegals were of Latin ancestry.”

As usual, it’s the democrat side of this that is wholly racist. They keep pushing that it’s to stop mexicans from coming in.

It’s not about Mexicans. Anyone can get into Mexico from any direction, you really “can’t” from the Canada side because Canada has a stricter policy.

That’s fine - take the rancher. I take the rancher over mine too.

But be wary that everything you see and hear has a liberal behind it. They control the media. They control the press. And even when it comes to you from a conservative site, it’s sourced by liberal chains of journalism. In other words, the origin story always has some anti-trump, anti-american douchebag at the keyboard at some point.

This is why I trust Infowars more than any other conservative news source. They have the resources to send people to the scene and get a wholly conservative chain of information to my screen.

I think many of these articles are trying to get us angry enough to do something violent. Don’t take the bait.

I was stationed at Huachuca twice; I know what you mean. I had a Suburban stolen from the Coronado Village Shopping Center parking lot and it was in Mexico in about 15-20 minutes. Most of the areas I used to hunt in S. Arizona are now either off limits or so trashed that they’re unrecognizable. My son-in-law is an officer at Huachuca and he tells me it’s getting worse every year.

Aren’t you just the smart one. It wasn’t a hypothesis; it was first-hand information.

The liberal media’s claims that “Iraq never had anything to do with terrorism” is pure, unadulterated bullshit; Shiites and Sunnis get along just fine when they’re not shooting one another in the Middle East; Middle Eastern terrorist groups are, in fact, involved in drug trafficking and many other criminal activities in the United States and elsewhere; need I go on?

This link will give you an idea as to how long this has been going on: http://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/26/us/iraqi-accused-of-smuggling-hundreds-in-mideast-to-us.html

I worked the Tajirian case with the Bureau and INS for over two years after I retired from the Army and, while much of the information regarding George [Korkor Artin] Tajirian is still classified, let’s just say that his relationship with the governments of Mexico and Iraq were “much more than casual” and the number of “OTMs” (Other Than Mexicans) he smuggled into the US exceeds 1,000 by orders of magnitude.

Because those who abandon such items are really getting desperate. No food or water, nothing but desert ahead. The coyotes dump them out in the middle of no where and tell these folks to start walking north. The US and local governments are coy about how many human remains are found out in the desert and one can only speculate on how many skeletons are never found.

"It wasn’t a hypothesis; it was first-hand information."

Respectfully; The first hand information is only that a rancher found some material on his ranch. It's hypothesis that the material is prayer rugs left by islamists illegally enering this country through his property.

Look, we agree on on the premise of pretty much all of this but this particular story is pretty scant of substance. How bout a photo of the rugs... Or have someone who is familiar look at them and report on their authenticity?. I personally couldn't tell the difference between a prayer rug and a door mat.

Someone else here theorized that they were used to climb over fences. You have to admit that theory has as much supporting evidence as the prayer rugs notion.... More, I suppose, as ranches generally have copious barbed wire.

The left labels conservatives as paranoid crazies. They bait us with fiction to demonstrate our paranoid dillusion. For me, I take anonymous accounts like this lightly. To each their own.

I grew up on the border and I’ve been saying this for the past decade. Anyone with common sense can visualize just how easy and real this problem of illegally entering our country is for ANYONE who wants to. My recommendation for the folks in “fly over country” along the southern border is to shoot, shovel, and shut up, because our country is so messed up it will take CWII to stop it, and I don’t think there’s enough real men left in this country to make that happen.

You could have just said “I’m not really sure.”

Or, he does know, but suspects that you're just a lazy bum who wants all his answers spoon-fed to him.

I had forgotten I had left two little tiny knives with scissors in my purse when going thru tsa in Albuquerque one day. I got right through the line no problem. They did not even see them. My husband had the exact little knife in his pocket and the tsa guy took it from him and made a big deal. I stupidly showed them my two I had in my purse and pointed out how they completely missed them. Boy you would have thought we were trying to smuggle in a semi automatic weapon. They ended up taking my two and breaking the little blade off on my husbands. His was a gift so he didn’t want to surrender his.

The use the rugs until they infiltrate.

Then they discard them and assume a non muslim disguise in preparation for mayhem and sabotage, etc.

Well, there's one thing ManHunter and I both know.

You're an idiot.

Democrats don’t care... they need more voters. Illegals vote. Illegals swell up population numbers in democrat districts giving Democrats MORE representation...

They cheap.

AND

RINO’S pretend they don’t notice, can’t stop it, or might not be ‘luved’ by the press if they speak out.
