“This explains why
Osama bin Laden instructed his al-Qaeda
deputies to try and recruit Mexican
passport holders. It also enables
terror groups such as Hezbollah to forge ties
with Mexican cartels
to smuggle operatives into America. And it is the
reason Texas law

Executive amnesty: Weakening American
security
By Jeff Sherman
As the recent
tragedy in France has demonstrated, the threat of terrorist attacks against the
U.S. and its Western allies is still very much alive. Unfortunately, that
threat is exacerbated both in Europe and America by open borders and the
unfettered access they provide to those who wish to harm us. President Obama’s
executive amnesty – which the U.S. House of Representatives this week voted to
revoke – is yet another example of America’s broken immigration system and the inability
or unwillingness of our leaders to fix the problem. This could eventually have
disastrous consequences for our country.
…………..SADLY, THERE ARE REALLY ABOUT 40
MILLION ILLEGALS IN OUR BORDERS. NOW DO THE MATH!
There are now
thought to be almost 12 million illegal immigrants living in the US. This is a
problem with deep implications for our economy, and will impact state and
national policy in numerous areas. The answer is not a sweeping amnesty to
legalize millions of these immigrants. It is better control of our borders.
This is not only imperative for halting further waves of illegal immigration –
it is vital for our national security as a whole.
The terrorist threat posed by foreign nationals based in the
U.S. is severe. One recent study showed that 44 percent of al-Qaeda related offenses
in the U.S. are committed by foreign nationals. Men such as Najibullah Zazi, an
Afghan national who was the head of an al-Qaeda plot to carry out suicide
attacks on the New York subway in September 2009, exploit American tolerance
and acceptance in order to plot attacks on our homeland. Such cases prove that
the U.S. cannot always properly monitor the threat posed by those who live
here.
The U.S.'s woefully
inadequate control of its own borders also goes unaddressed, but not unnoticed.
The Government Accountability Office found that only 44% of the Southwest
border was under operational control. This explains why Osama bin Laden instructed
his al-Qaeda deputies to try and recruit Mexican passport holders. It also
enables terror groups such as Hezbollah to forge ties with Mexican cartels to
smuggle operatives into America. And it is the reason Texas law
enforcement found in 2014 that Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham social media
messaging showed militants discussing the possibility of infiltrating the U.S.
via Mexico.
Yet the U.S. cannot
just focus on its southern flank. We must also be cognizant of our northern
border. Al-Qaeda inspired terrorists have already taken advantage of weaknesses
in the immigration system to attempt to attack the U.S. via Canada. This
includes Ahmed Ressam, who plotted to blow up the Los Angeles Airport in 1999
while living off state benefits. Also, Chiheb Esseghaier was arrested in 2013
on the suspicion that he was plotting to derail a passenger train travelling
between Canada and the U.S. The threat from Canada remains, yet of the 22,000
Border Patrol agents in the U.S., less than 3,000 cover the Canadian border.
Both our allies and
enemies will see implications in any U.S. action on immigration. Key partners,
such as the UK and France, understand such dilemmas well. As members of the
European Union (EU), they must adhere to the principle of freedom of movement
and therefore have essentially no ability to control their own borders. This
has led to events like the recent tragedy in Paris.
Challenges abroad
have implications at home as well. The U.S. is vulnerable to attack from
Europeans who have fought in Syria and Iraq and who will, unless they are
stopped by security agencies, be eligible to travel to the U.S. without a visa.
Over 3,000 Europeans have gone to fight in this conflict, and America's ability
to protect itself from these returning jihadists is severely compromised if the
EU cannot track these fighters.
Ultimately, the
U.S. faces a huge array of threats to its security. Groups such as al-Qaeda and
ISIS thrive on turning our tolerance against us: time and again, the
immigration system has been exploited by terrorists intent on attacking America
and its allies. President Obama's proposed amnesty makes no real allowance for
this. This is a big mistake. A state which cannot properly control who lives in
its borders cannot properly defend itself.

THE ISIS INVASION
THROUGH NARCOMEX:
JUDICIAL WATCH:
which cuts off more heads? The LA RAZA Mexican drug cartels that mow over our
borders or ISIS way the hell over there???
ANSWER: MEXICANS!
“The exact location where the
terrorist group has established its base is around eight miles from the U.S.
border in an area known as “Anapra” situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the
Mexican state of Chihuahua. Another ISIS cell to the west of Ciudad Juárez, in
Puerto Palomas, targets the New Mexico towns of Columbus and Deming for easy
access to the United States, the same knowledgeable sources confirm.”
Law enforcement and intelligence sources report the area
around Anapra is dominated by the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Cartel (“Juárez
Cartel”), La Línea (the enforcement arm of the cartel) and the Barrio Azteca (a
gang originally formed in the jails of El Paso). Cartel control of the Anapra
area make it an extremely dangerous and hostile operating environment for
Mexican Army and Federal Police operations.

(CNSNews.com)
-- Two illegal aliens in Walker County, Texas, have pleaded guilty to
murdering and dismembering a 16-year-old high school student with a baseball
bat and a machete in a national park nearly two years ago. According to
investigators, the crime was a revenge killing ordered by the infamously
violent Latin American gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13.
Cristian Zamora, 22, and Ricardo Leonel Campos Lara, 19, both from El
Salvador, pleaded guilty on April 17 to aiding and abetting each other and others
with the murder of 16-year-old Josael Guevara on Sept. 23, 2013

“The National Council of La Raza describes itself as the largest Latino

New Mexico and parts of Colorado and Texas belong to Aztlan.”

Immigrating America Into a Colony of Mexico
Article by Frosty Wooldridge
America
faces a greater and more dangerous threat from within than from without. While
our armed forces secure Afghanistan and Iraq, our own borders stand unguarded
24 hours a day. Al-Qaeda insurgents plan their next attacks somewhere inside
our country. They advocate a violent overthrow of America.

According
to the report, the amount of heroin seized at the southern U.S. border
increased 232% between 2008 and 2012 — apparently the result of greater Mexican
heroin production and a growing incursion by Mexican traffickers into U.S.
markets. It notes that the U.S. is experiencing a “sizable increase” in the
number of new heroin users.
