The problem for the U.S.A. is they can’t factor in the illegal|immigrant aliens that are Muslims indeed.
Not long after 9/11, muslims started coming over the Mexican border. The border patrol called them OTM’s. Other than Mexicans. GW Bush was President. I lived in McAllen, Tx and the local TV and newspapers ran stories on this. But that news never got out of the valley.
I was able to go back to 03/10/2002 using a keyword of “muslim” then searching each page of returned results for “texas”. Nothing specific to McAllen or border crossings into Texas...
I’ll change search critera...
I changed the search criteria and came up with a few articles, but i could only go back to march 2003.
Some promising threads link to articles that no longer exist.
