That Biggest "Illegal" Problem: OTM's Crossing the Border

The border-control problem that Obama and Napolitano love to demagogue--and which GWB chose to ignore?

It's a lot worse than job-seekers, and it's NOT just Arizona. The eastern Rio Grande has plenty of problems, too.

Just this week, Houston's KHOU-TV 11 reported Homeland Security warned Houston, Texas, police and Harris County Sheriff's deputies that a suspected terrorist may be traveling through the U.S. through Mexico. Mohamed Ali is a suspected member of the terrorist group Al Shabaab, a group based in Somalia with ties to the Somali attacks portrayed in the movie "Blackhawk Down."

That warning was issued on April 14.

And to review some slightly older statistics:

According to the Department of Homeland Security's 2008 Yearbook of Immigration Studies, from the Office of Immigration Statistics, federal law enforcement agencies detained 791,568 deportable aliens in fiscal year 2008 – and 5,506 of them were from 14 "special-interest countries."

"Special-interest countries" are chock-full of Muslim terrorists.

I recall that GWB yapped about 'fighting terrorists overseas instead of on our territory.' For that purpose, we have spent a lot of blood and treasure in Iraq and Afghanistan.

However, about 10% of those who invade this country over its southern border are NOT Mexicans. A very small percentage (650 of 1.2 million) are from terror-sponsoring countries.

Bush ignored the border. Obama is ignoring the border.

This will not end well.
