By the Border Patrol's own admission, it catches one alien in five, and admits that around 800,000 have slipped across... The local ranchers...strongly disagree ...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.

"...Yeah, it varies, but about one in every 10 that we catch, is from a country like Yemen or Egypt."

800,000/10 = 80,000 (minimum) non mexicans per year. And using the estimate that 1 in 10 mumslims are radical we are still at 8,000/year.

Of the radicals not all will be "trigger pullers." So, by the nature of unconventional warfare, some will be intell gatherers, and some will be logistics specialists. But working together they will be able to wreak a lot of havoc in this country!
