A top US commander warns Caribbean and South American countries are unable to track 100 foreign fighters that could return from Syria. Americas
The war in Syria has attracted roughly 100 foreign fighters from the Caribbean who could easily make their way to the United States, said the top U.S. military commander for the southern hemisphere.
With little ability to track and monitor foreign fighters when they return, it would be relatively easy for those fighters to “walk” north to the U.S. border along the same networks used to traffic drugs and humans, according to Gen. John Kelly, commander of U.S. Southern Command.
“They don’t have that ability to track these folks,” Kelly said at a Pentagon briefing on Thursday.
Kelly said he worries whomever is radicalized enough to leave for Syria would return with greater terrorism skills and motivations.
“I would suspect they’ll get good at, while they’re in Syria, get good at killing and pick up some real job skills in terms of explosives and beheadings and things like that. And everyone’s concerned, of course, if they come home. Because if they went over radicalized one would suspect they’ll come home at least that radicalized.”

They could end up coming back here and doing something bad?
Do you think? really?
If terrorists know how to pull a lever and vote 'democrat' Obama will welcome them. AND "Homeland" will make sure they get their 'rights'...
I'm surprised the military hasn't been 'repurposed' to defend illegals crossing the borders... and shoot stray American citizens who might 'offend' illegals..

Those worryworts are racist. These future Americans are just looking to feed their families with hard work. Heck, I bet they want to earn a college education to better themselves.

All the more reason to set up the wire, M-60s and claymores at the border.
In other words, they KNOW there have been instances of such.
Many of the tropical paradise in the Caribbean seem poorly equipped to deal with serious threats from a militarized opponent.
The Caribbean? How about our southern border? What a bunch of morons! Let’s ignore the fact that they are already here via our OPEN BORDER PRES.
Jebbie Bush says don’t worry, be happy!
Well, duh.
Oh don't be concerned if they reach our border. Why, our border is so secure...er... Ok, yeah, be very, very concerned because anyone that can reach the border can cross the border. Probably get water and a ride from bammy's cohorts.
Too late. They’ve already reached the WH.
They just want their piece of the American Dream.
Sure.
Heads. Hands. Feet. Genitals.
They intend to sever all the American pieces and make good their fondest Dreams at various places in the country. After all, Allah demands it.
