100 Syrians, 50 Iranians Cross Biden’s Open Border in October, Says Source
EAGLE PASS, Texas — According to a source within CBP, the influx of Special Interest Migrants across the U.S./Mexico border continues early in the NEW fiscal year as nearly 100 Syrian and 50 Iranian nationals have been apprehended by the Border Patrol since the beginning of October. The source says the influx of Syrian and Iranian Special Interest Migrants is concerning, considering the turmoil unfolding in the Middle East.
The Syrian and Iranian migrants were apprehended in multiple sectors across the southwest border during October. The latest arrest of an Iranian national by the Border Patrol occurred near Eagle Pass, Texas, on Saturday. The Iranian national was discovered within a single group of more than 300 that crossed into the small border city. A debrief of the Iranian migrant is pending as of press time, according to the source.
The source says the continued encounter of Syrian and Iranian nationals is more concerning considering the recent U.S. air strikes against Iran-linked sites in Syria in response to drone and missile attacks on U.S. military bases in the region. According to the source, the arrivals of Special Interest Migrants at the southwest border are appearing with little to no advance intelligence warning.
“We are receiving no advance warning of the arrival of Special Interest Migrants from the region with any specificity,” the source explained. “We are left to sort through the grab-bag of migrants in small and large groups to figure out who is in the group and why they are coming.”
Eleven Special Interest Migrants from Middle Eastern countries were apprehended in just one sector of the border patrol in one week alone.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, during the week of October 8 to October 14, Border Patrol agents apprehended six Iranian nationals, three Lebanese nationals, one Egyptian national, and one Saudi Arabian national that made landfall in Texas on the banks of the Rio Grande in the Del Rio Border Patrol Sector that includes Eagle Pass.
The Syrian and Iranian Special Interest Migrants are mostly single adult males. Both countries are subject to travel warnings by the U.S. State Department. The State Department has issued a Level-4 advisory regarding travel to Syria due to terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, armed conflict, and the risk of unjust detention.
Iran is also subject to a Level-4 travel warning by the State Department due to the risk of kidnapping and the arbitrary arrest and detention of U.S. citizens.
The source says, absent any significant intelligence indicting a Special Interest migrant may pose a known threat to the United States, they are generally released into the U.S. to pursue asylum claims.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, more than 61,000 Special Interest Migrants were encountered by the Border Patrol in Fiscal Year 2023, which ended on September 30. The number of migrants from Special Interest countries climbed by more than 140 percent from Fiscal Year 2022, when more than 25,500 were apprehended. In all, more than 86,000 Special Interest migrants have illegally entered the United States in the previous two fiscal years.
According to a 2019 DHS fact sheet, the term “Significant Interest Alien” is defined as follows:
Generally, an SIA is a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests. Often, such individuals or groups employ travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism. DHS analysis includes an examination of travel patterns, points of origin, and/or travel segments that are tied to current assessments of national and international threat environments.
This does not mean that all SIAs are “terrorists,” but rather that the travel and behavior of such individuals indicate a possible nexus to nefarious activity (including terrorism) and, at a minimum, provide indicators that necessitate heightened screening and further investigation. The term SIA does not indicate any specific derogatory information about the individual – and DHS has never indicated that the SIA designation means more than that.

Biden’s White House Will Not Revoke Visas of Pro-Hamas Foreign Students
President Joe Biden’s White House has no plans to revoke the visas of those foreign students engaging in demonstrations across United States college campuses in defense of the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas and its attacks on Israel.
After a number of Republicans urged Biden’s State Department to revoke the visas of pro-Hamas foreign students who hold F-1 visas, National Security Council (NSC) spokesman John Kirby said the administration will not do so.
An exchange at a White House briefing went as follows:
REPORTER: There’s been an uptick on the right among some Republicans who have called for students or foreign nationals who are demonstrating in some of these pro-Palestine demonstrations or, you know, allegedly pro-Hamas demonstrations to have their student visas pulled or to face deportation. What is the administration’s remark — response to those kinds of remarks and that kind of rhetoric? Is that an overreaction? [Emphasis added]
KIRBY: That … I would just tell you that you don’t have to agree with every sentiment that is expressed in a free country like this to stand by … the idea [of] the First Amendment and the idea of peaceful protest. I’ll leave it at that. [Emphasis added]
As Breitbart News reported, Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) are leading a resolution urging the Biden administration to revoke the visas of foreign nationals in the U.S. who are involved in pro-Hamas demonstrations — especially those on F-1 student visas.
“To put the security of American citizens first, President Biden must immediately revoke the visas of those who support Hamas and other terrorist groups,” Blackburn said.
Sens. Katie Britt (R-AL.), Rick Scott (R-FL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), J.D. Vance (R-OH), Ted Budd (R-NC), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John Cornyn (R-TX), and John Hoeven (R-ND) have signed the resolution.
Meanwhile, Rubio and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) have each written to top Biden officials at the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) pressing them to swiftly revoke visas and deport pro-Hamas foreign students.
“I write to urge you to immediately deport any foreign national — including and especially any alien on a student visa — that has expressed support for Hamas and its murderous attacks on Israel,” Cotton wrote to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“These fifth-columnists have no place in the United States,” Cotton wrote.

Joel B. Pollak / Breitbart NewsIn Fiscal Year 2022, alone, the federal government provided green cards and nonimmigrant visas, including F-1 student visas, to foreign nationals from some of the most pro-Hamas countries in the world.
For example, more than 8,300 Iranians arrived in the U.S. last year on nonimmigrant visas. In addition, the government gave more than 8,000 green cards to Iranians in Fiscal Year 2022 — including more than 800 who arrived on the Diversity Visa Lottery and more than 520 who arrived as refugees.

Hamas chief offers up the blood of Gaza's women and children to keep his terrorists motivated
So is this a man, or a maggot?
He "needs..."
What a needy [expletive deleted].
Normal nations ... and men ... will fight and sacrifice themselves for their women and children. That's the textbook definition of masculinity. That's what Israel is doing as it seeks to defend itself against the monstrous terrorists who laid waste to the land and tortured and murdered 1,400 innocent women, children, elders and many others.
Now this creep wants to sacrifice his fiefdom's women and children, presumably because he can't motivate his minions to fight for his repellent cause otherwise.
On one level, that's understandable, actually, because there's nothing good about it. What's more maggoty than going out and slaughtering innocent women, children, babies, handicapped people, and old people, which is what Hamas pulled on October 7? Anyone can kill the vulnerable. It takes a man to take up arms against actual warriors, which none of them are, nor do they have the courage to do.
So they're not exactly manly to start with, (which may explains the strange attraction for their rotten cause by a tiny subgroup of far-left Western protestors with names like Gays for Palestine have for them. Some in their culture wouldn't have much interest in the fate of 'breeders' either.)
Now this [expletive deleted] wants to sacrifice his own women and children to keep the boys motivated to keep on commiting terrorist acts.
He's not some anomaly within Hamas, either. There's also him:
It should be noted that the Hamas chief and his creepy minion talking about what Hamas tunnels are for are offering up these women and children for bloodshed from the pit of their luxury digs somewhere in Qatar and New York. Caviar for me, bombs for thee.
Only an insane person would want to fight for this group.
Men fight wars for the sake of their women, they don't put them out there to be killed to stay motivated. What would a theoretical Hamas fighter be fighting for if not his women and children? Who would he have to go back home to once he presumably wins? No one. Which tells us a lot about what the aim here is -- some kind of revolutionary fervor, and yes, I recall that Vo Nguyen Giap used to talk like this, too, in his memoirs of the war in Vietnam. The communist fanatic was always ready to sacrifice large groups of his countrymen for the sake of his terrible cause.
What this shows is that Israel is battled a depraved, diseased, demented force, one that can't even get up in the morning without their wives' and kids' blood on the kitchen floor.
What's scary is that they believe this garbage ideology and will gladly put women and children in the line of fire to keep their terrorism operation with all its slimy rat-house tunnels running forever.
Why the Gaza women put up with this creep volunteering their blood to keep the fellas motivated is a mystery -- it's as if they have a collective case of beaten-woman syndrome.
Israel is going to have a heck of a lot to deal with here as Joe Biden and all his leftist supporters cheer Hamas and attempt to halt any hosing out of Hamas and its terrorist operations.
This is no normal enemy Israel is confronting. This is a twisted, sick movement that would gladly volunteer others for death and destruction, while happily ensconcing themselves in safety and luxury, content to amass power and money.
It would be a fine thing to see just one of these women and children offered up for his blood sacrifices to get up the gumption to blow this monster away. Let it be his blood that gets sacrificed since that's what he wants and let's see how many people that motivates.
If he wants blood, let it be his.
GRAPHIC: Cartel Gunmen Kill 13 Mexican Cops in Violent Coastal State Attack
A group of Mexican cartel gunmen killed 13 police officers and injured two others in a series of attacks in the popular coastal state of Guerrero. The crime scene is not far from the tourist hotspots of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo.
A statement from the Guerrero Attorney General’s Office revealed that the mass killings took place on Monday in the municipality of Coyuca. The victims included the city’s Public Security Secretary Alfredo Alonso Benitez and 12 of his officers and top aides.
The attack occurred shortly after noon when the group of police officers was patrolling the region near the town of El Papayo when the officers became the target of an ambush. The gunmen killed some of the officers and took several others captive, only to execute them shortly after.
By the time additional police forces arrived at the scene, the gunmen had already left, leaving behind the bodies of their victims.
The violence in Guerrero comes at a time when several criminal organizations continue to fight for control of the region’s lucrative drug trafficking routes into Mexico and drug production areas in the rural communities.
As Breitbart Texas reported, historically, factions tied to the Familia Michoacana have had influence in Guerrero. They have been fighting with several groups tied to other cartels such as Cartel Jalisco New Generation, Sinaloa Cartel, and other organizations.
The mass killing of police officers comes as Guerrero’s Governor Evelyn Salgado, from the MORENA party, continuously claims that the region has seen a decrease in crime and that the state is safe. In her most recent social media posts, Salgado has not commented about the mass killing of her police officers. She has, however, boasted about how her state is prepared for a tropical storm.
