From KOLD-TV 13:
An Afghanistan illegal was taken into custody Tuesday by the US Border Patrol in Tucson. The man says two Mexican nationals smuggled him into the country. He does speak English though he wouldn't tell us his name. Sources tell News 13 when the men got to a southside neighborhood, the Afghan man jumped out of the car as a Tucson Police car drove by. The man told police he was afraid the accused smugglers were going to kill him...because he couldn't pay them for bringing him into this country. "There's a lot of people that are coming that are not Mexican." Dr. Robin Hoover is president of Humane Borders...and pastor of First Christian Church on Speedway. He's the man primarily responsible for the network of water stations along the Arizona border... "To reduce the number of people who are dying out here on a regular basis," he says. Hoover says about a million immigrants try to cross illegally into the United States each year. And while the overwhelming majority are Mexican--about 98 percent he says--there are some exceptions. "There's people from Yemen, the people from Brazil, Saudi Arabia." Or in this case...someone from Afghanistan. "One need not leap automatically to think this is a terrorist from Afghanistan or that there's a war-related incident or terrorist incident going on here," Hoover says. By his own admission, though, Hoover says the possibility exists should Al Queda or Taliban forces take the initiative. "It's relatively easy to get into Mexico using fake documents...or even simply coming from one country of origin to another. Mexico has no reason to believe they're terrorists headed into the United States." Does that raise any red flags in this case? Without more information, Hoover says it's impossible to say.

nope. it may only be a possiblilty that the enemy is invading. on the other hand, they may just be merely friendly illegal immigrants from the countries who sponsor death to the American satan.

this blase moment brought to you by those who controlled security at logan airport in 2001.

it's okay, we're a rich country. fema has the ability to distribute thousands of chinese manufactured body bags at a moments notice.
