If you missed the new Fox Pulse newsmagazine's 9-month exclusive investigation, here's a streaming audio link...
It's estimated that 500,000 of unknown national origin have crossed over the border with Mexico since 9-11-01.
And from the following article some agents estimate 10% are now from he Middle East..

Heads deep in the sand......
I dont 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 Iraqis 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 Iraqis are not actually looking for asylum and are now walking around the US?
I sure dont know and I doubt the INS will tell anyone the truth.
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
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.
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/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 !
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.
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.
Normally I would agree with you, but not with Geraldo.
