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.

"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.
