I read that article. Scary stuff, while our so called leaders completely ignore the will and outrage of the people, that they are suppose to be representing!

I'm thinking that a whole lot of these arabs who may look hispanic are getting false ID's and papers to appear to be from Mexico or other Central American countries famous for allowing "tourists" from the Middle East.

So learning fluent Spanish may be the new priority for terrorists instead of learning how to fly.

Thanks for the ping. Notice that the politician worshipers and and other assorted political hacks ignore threads like these?

Heads deep in the sand......

Maybe Bush is being told by Vicente Fox that if we close the borders the terrorists will just back up into Mexico waiting it out, while spreading Islam!

[McGavin999]

I guess it escaped your attention that they were quoting a UPI article?

[sarcasm]

They also seem not to notice pings to such articles.

This is what I dug up at work today. Since 9/11, over 500 Iraqi's have arrived at the San Ysidro, California Port of Entry from Tijuana, Mexico and applied for asylum in the US.

I don’t have any Border Patrol numbers yet, and it looks like it may take a while, but I will get them.

The thing that scares me is that fact that many of these 500 Iraqi’s may be walking freely in the US. I know INS has limited detention space and must sometimes release these folks into the US until their case is finalized.

So, how many of these Iraqi’s are not actually looking for asylum and are now walking around the US?

I sure don’t know and I doubt the INS will tell anyone the truth.

Thanks - I'm sure that they wouldn't think of using the refugee program to infiltrate sleepers.

Bu-bu-but Mexico is our FRIEND and partner! We need to embrace each other or we'll be called RACISTS! ~sarcasm off~

Tancredo Bump!

." Notice that the politician worshipers and and other assorted political hacks ignore threads like these?"

Oh yes, they only come out to snipe at us when its safe....or when their vicious streak gets the best of them. LOL I love it when they demand FACTS and DETAILS then proceed to ignore them while accusing us of not answering their questions. LOL

Has there been any increase in Iraqi illegals since September 11th?

In FY 2001, the Border Patrol apprehended 12 Iraqi illegals.

In the first 8 months of FY 2002 that number has jumped to 18.

Looks like it's on the rise.

You mean interdiction doesn't work with drugs?

Wonder why people support spending so much money on something that doesn't work? Could it be the money? I wonder if there were no huge profits from pot if the importation of drugs would drop off and we could then focus on terrorists?

This may come back to bite Bush in the *ss.

This may/will come back to bite us Americans much more than in the @ss. Votes is not what concerns me at this point, it is our LIVES that are at stake here !

500,000 middle easterners since 911? Maybe hundreds not 500,000. Fox better check its pulse. Its creditability is begining to suffer. The problem with Fox is it’s a talk station not a news station. With exception of Special Report with Brit Hume. That is the only valid news program Fox has. The rest of it is babble.

[spycatcher]

Looks like you didn't listen to the show or read the thread. It was actually an Emmy caliber investigative report by Geraldo. Neither Fox nor anybody else in the thread said anything close to 500,000 middle easterners.

That's was a 500,000 assorted nationality total, non-mexican illegals are various percentages of that. Large percentages are from Central America and probably 5% from the middle east.

[spycatcher]

Thanks for all the good info.

[spycatcher]

Sorry, I should have used "assorted" instead of "unknown" in the original post just to make it more clear. It's only unknown in the sense that the feds don't let on how bad it's getting with various non-Mexican nationals. So we have to rely on investigative reporters, insider leaks, and common sense to figure out the truth.

"It was actually an Emmy caliber investigative report by Geraldo."

This is a contradiction in terms, especially with Geraldo. I did mis-speak about labeling the 500,000 middle easterns, but even 500,000 of unknown national origin since 911 crossing from Mexico is a huge exaggeration. There is no basis in fact for this estimation. I have seen no reports that indicate anywhere near this number. I seen numbers ranging from 8000 to 20,000 which is a concern but no where near 500,000. We would have had to have a total collapse of our boarder security, which is suffering but not that bad. This is rresponsible journalism in my view.

"So we have to rely on investigative reporters, insider leaks, and common sense to figure out the truth."

Normally I would agree with you, but not with Geraldo.
