http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=24987 This is the WorldNetDaily site of the article that was reported.....I tried to pull something off the site of America's Most Wanted, but could not find it....

[countrydummy]

I am not good at posting items, as a matter of fact this is the first time. Yet I fell very compelled to compliment the program "America's Most Wanted" for reporting on the sad situation of our borders with Mexico and all the illegal immigrants that are crossing them, yet most importantly tonight, this program airing a story by Jay Zane Walley of the Paragon Foundation and Ben Anderson of the Anderson Report!

This country is a safer place to live in now because of Jay and Ben and WorldNetDaily and now, to "America's Most Wanted".....for reporting in detail how terrorists are coming into our country and giving us all a "heads up" warning and a how to identify and report these activities!

No, I live nowhere near these areas, yet I have family and friends that do and this report will also allow for the local governmental officials and law enforcement agencies to see the need for stronger enforcement of our laws! I wish I could express myself better, but I know in my heart that these men and these programs have done all they can to help protect homeland security and they all deserve our thanks and gratitude's!

[countrydummy]

I don't think I got all the title info right, I did not write the article nor did I publish it, self was that I was trying to get this out....sorry, first time! But I am really glad Jay and Ben and WorldNetDaily and now America's Most Wanted all strifed to bring us this info....

COMING TO AMERICA
'Arab terrorists'
crossing border
Middle Eastern illegals find easy entrance into U.S. from Mexico

COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. -- The U.S.-Mexican border here is the most heavily used corridor for illegal alien traffic on America's southern boundary. With its difficult topography that is folded, creased and convoluted, it is a land that yields well to smuggling. The Huachuca, Chiricahua, Dragoon and Whetstone Mountains are riddled with hundreds of deep canyons, caves and arroyos that offer superb concealment for the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that annually cross here.

The numbers of unauthorized immigrants smuggled across this porous border dumbfound the imagination. To date, the U.S. Border Patrol has apprehended 158,782 illegals in 2001. By the Border Patrol's own admission, it catches one alien in five, and admits that around 800,000 have slipped across the U.S. line this year. The local ranchers, who have been watching the border for several generations, strongly disagree. They contend the agency only nets one in 10, and estimate that in 2001 over 1.5 million unlawful immigrants have crossed into America in what the Border Patrol calls the Tucson Sector.

Many border ranch-owners are validly apprehensive of speaking about their desperate situations because of likely retribution by narco-militarists (drug runners) and coyotes (smugglers of humans). Unsolved murders and arsons are alarmingly ordinary in Cochise County, so pure fear keeps locals from speaking on the record.

Go here for the rest.

Here you go friend.

Thank you! I need all the help I can get!

But Felipe de Jesus Preciado, director of Mexico's National Migration Institute, told the Televisa TV network on Tuesday night that there is a good chance that some of the hijackers stayed in Mexico. It was apparently the first time that a Mexican immigration official has suggested that terrorists might have been on Mexican soil.

``Effectively, there have been signs that they could have been along the border,'' Preciado said, without offering details.

Thanks for the post! I was born and raised in Hinton, W.V. myself. I am really concerned about the Chemical plant in Charleston, W.V.!

[countrydummy]

Thanks so much for that information, I had not seen it.

[countrydummy]

I myself am a wee bit concerned about the plants in Charleston. Plus, as you know when they practice bombing the dam with the B502 bombers.....well, that has taken on a whole new aspect! :-) Sends chills up your spine I tell you! Than God I know to expect it, but a visitor sure would not!

The Number One way Arab illegals come to the U.S. is by 747 - on student or tourist visas, and overstay them!

Arab illegals - unlike Mexican illegals - generally enter the U.S. legally, but fast end up "illegal aliens" by overstaying visas, usually student ones. Many drop out of college within a semester. (I've seen a lot of it here in North Carolina - particularly at a couple of black colleges.)

With INS saying 40% of all illegals are visa overstayers or other such "visa abusers," my gut feeling is that a real small percentage of Arab illegals are arriving by running across either the Mexican or the Canadian border.

I agree that allot of them do show up by 747s....yet it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel, if you will allow for such old sayings, and according to the article, there were some that came the way of Mexico or at least tried. Therefore, we need to stop all illegals! We must tighten those borders!

There was big money paid to those coyotes!

Yes, we absolutely must close down those borders - but much more cost-effective is to altogether quit giving student visas, or any visas, to anyone whose birth homeland's police won't give American consular authorities full and accurate background checks on visa applicants before visas are granted.

Bush needs to stand up to the higher-education industry on this. The colleges love foreign students - as they pay in cash, get little or no student aid (other than graduate assistantships), and have low recruitment costs. That's why the college lobbying group went berzerk when Feinswine proposed a moratorium on student visas.

Ending the student-visa problem can be 100% effective at zero cost to the taxpayer - and can be done immediately; building a Berlin Wall on the borders, while necessary, will take time and money, plus people to staff it.

[sarcasm]

That was the only mention that I have seen of the presence of the hijackers in Mexico - the press doesn't like to report such things.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

I believe the number ONE issue in next year's congressional elections will be immigration. If congressmen lose jobs over it, we will see tighter immigration laws - GUARANTEED!

BOTH major parties have contributed to a more dangerous America. Republicans want the cheap illegal labor and Democrats want new Democrat voters.

[countrydummy]

I do agree. Look at the pilot schools...they never questioned visas, probably never asked for passports....as long as the cash was there, they had a new student! Your point is well taken over cost effectiveness, yet seeing the video and the accounts of the landowners along the borders, there has to be physical strength---presence along the borders to stop the ones that get through that way.

How all of that is to be worked out is beyound me, except I fully believe that the landowners should be allowed authority to take whatever measures they deem necessary to protect their homes and properties, as well as to help aide in homeland defense.

[countrydummy]

I agree with you also. Several months ago, heck maybe almost a year ago now, I watched a debate on Hannity and Colms and it was on this show that some wild-eyed liberals wanted to send care packages to the illegal immigrants as they were crossing the borders! I was like, do what? Our tax dollars to aid someone trying to get into the country illegally? I forget the whole story, but I was astounded that anyone would want to aid persons totally breaking the laws.

[dennisw]

I saw it to....That America's most wanted was good!

There was a recent post here on FR about the Chemical Plants in Charleston, W.V. being a possible terrorist target. "Everything" in Charleston shut down Sept 11!

[countrydummy]

There was the report last week of a boat on the Kanawha River and an attack on an AEP security guard.....I have not seen but one update to the story and it was pitiful! Have not heard if they found the attackers or the boat! The boat was disguised as a coast guard vessel....there is not enough follow up on the stories that are happening all across the US! For example, were those people ever caught that had the rental vehicle in Cambridge, MA? If so, what happened? Kind of a rehtorical question, but why can't we get the "rest of the story(ies)?
