In a Project Veritas investigation released on Monday, James O’Keefe crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico to the United States disguised as Osama bin Laden. Dressed in the trademark military jacket and dishdasha and donning an Osama bin Laden mask, O’Keefe asks, “Do you feel safe” before stepping into the Rio Grande and easily walking across the border into the United States.
The investigation took place in Hudspeth County, Texas, at a crossing commonly used by illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. In less than one minute, O’Keefe crossed the river, which is only 2-3 feet deep and 20 feet wide in that area. The crossing is outside of Fort Hancock, Texas and only six miles from Interstate 10 on the American side. On the Mexican side, an access road comes within 100 feet of the river. Footprints, recent campsites, litter and well-worn paths mark both sides of the river where O’Keefe crossed.
O’Keefe was not confronted by a single member of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
“If the President or Senator Reid or anyone else tries to tell you that our borders are secure, they are lying to you.
“Border security is national security. We were able to pick a well-traveled crossing, easily accessible from both sides, and cross unobserved by federal agents. Just six miles from our crossing is Interstate 10, and from there, the rest of the country. Do you feel safe?”
For later......
I appreciated his efforts back in 2006. It looks like he’s doing good for himself these days and I’m glad to hear that.
Thanks for the information.
Not on our watch! LOL
Here’s the thread that’ll tell you all about it -

Did you see the footbridge in that video? Grrrr.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Do you remember the Jackalope Breeder?
He crossed the border here in Cochise County with a backpack and took it directly to the Federal Building in Tucson without being stopped or questioned.
It could easily have held a tactical nuclear device or dirty bomb.
Eric Bolling on The Five (FOX news) right at the close of the show took a cheap shot at O’Keefe for doing this. Bolling said yes we have issues at the border, but just no need for this type of thing.
I guess the point that the border is still not secure, real terrorists can cross as easy as O’Keefe did, all that went right over Bolling’s head. So many years those of us on the border trying to get the word out- called racist and liars, then when someone makes a video proving what we say and it is blown off as a stunt.
