Feds Issue Terror Watch for Texas-Mexico Border
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, May 27, 2010, 4:57 AM
The illegal immigrants crossing our southern border aren’t just from Mexico:
(FOX News)
WSB Actiion 2 News out of Atlanta aired a report recently on terrorists sneaking into the US through Mexico.
Via RCP Video:
Homeland Security is alerting officials to be on the lookout for suspected Somalian terrorists coming into the US illegally from Mexico.
FOX News reported:
The Department of Homeland Security is alerting Texas authorities to be on the lookout for a suspected member of the Somalia-based Al Shabaab terrorist group who might be attempting to travel to the U.S. through Mexico, a security expert who has seen the memo tells FOXNews.com.
The warning follows an indictment unsealed this month in Texas federal court that accuses a Somali man in Texas of running a “large-scale smuggling enterprise” responsible for bringing hundreds of Somalis from Brazil through South America and eventually across the Mexican border. Many of the illegal immigrants, who court records say were given fake IDs, are alleged to have ties to other now-defunct Somalian terror organizations that have merged with active organizations like Al Shabaab, al-Barakat and Al-Ittihad Al-Islami.
In 2008, the U.S. government designated Al Shabaab a terrorist organization. Al Shabaab has said its priority is to impose Sharia, or Islamic law, on Somalia; the group has aligned itself with Al Qaeda and has made statements about its intent to harm the United States.
In recent years, American Somalis have been recruited by Al Shabaab to travel to Somalia, where they are often radicalized by more extremist or operational anti-American terror groups, which Al Shabaab supports. The recruiters coming through the Mexican border are the ones who could be the most dangerous, according to law enforcement officials.
Security experts tell FOXNews.com that the influx of hundreds of Somalis over the U.S. border who allegedly have ties to suspected terror cells is evidence of a porous and unsecured border being exploited by groups intent on wrecking deadly havoc on American soil.

I’m sure they only want to make a new start in life and should be welcomed for the contributions they will bring to advance multiculturalism.

The fact that all these years since 9/11 our borders have not been secured is unconscionable.

Fox News’ article missed the money quote in the video: “….a guy speaking Arabic, can’t speak a word of English, can’t produce ID, …..and we’re just supposed to let him go?! People in CA say ‘just let him go?’”
Bingo. Great report on Fox. Clear. Factual. Raising the very real dangers of our “porous” borders.
BTW – this happens coming in from Canada, too, but the Canadians have been more helpful since 9/11, so they are not as big an issue.
katablog.com commented:
Hmmm, looking for Somalians in Texas sounds racist to me. I think we should wait until they get to Arizona.
john commented:
Do not stop, question ,or slow anyone that appears Hispanic. That would be racist. But be on the lookout and stop all black males who speak with African accents. You may let them go if and only if they are carrying their Democrat voter cards. No other ID is required.

Around feb 13, a van with 9 somalies was stopped in Rockport texas and the illegals taken away. This did not show in the small town police report section of the newspaper. Adverse information is actively suppressed by the Fed border patrol
Agent99 commented:
These are Jihadist Groups! This is serious. Only a ‘matter of time’. If time allows…READ Vince Flynn …In one of his Most recent Novels ….The Jihadists cross from Brazil. Then make their way to D.C. But the characters in Vince Flynn’s Novels are NOT stupid as they have ”copied” and studied US Law Enforcement as well as the Special Forces Manual(s). These Somalis are RADICALIZED!! They mean us Harm. They could care less about our politics such as the uproar by the left about the Immigration Laws of the USA or AZ. Irrelevant to their CAUSE! Their Mission “”DEATH TO AMERICA”" The ‘Terror Watch’ has been issued. But Will they REALLY REALLY be caught. And if so, will they be CAUGHT only after Mass Death and Destruction. BHO REALLY needs to GET SERIOUS!! I know…LOL! Dream on. But ya know I do NOT feel like dying due to the Incompetence of BHO!
Agent99 commented:
greg @ # 10…I am shocked that the Feds Issued a Terror Watch!! As I read your comment, seems that “ADVERSE INFORMATION IS ACTIVELTY SUPPRESSED….” is the Norm for the Elitists and BHO!

Betsy Ross commented:
Can someone please explain to me why people in this country, dems especially, think that the United States should have open borders? Name for me one country that allows people to just come and go to their country? Does Canada allow it, does mexico allow it, does any European country allow it? Can I travel to any country in the world without a passport? Please, if such a country exists, tell me…

Agent 99,

Stay safe.

MC thank you!! Pam’s husband was called “GRIZZ” but his name is Larry! A very likeable guy. Very easy going. Always laughing. A bridge collapsed! Ordinarily that huge boulder would not have been their but the sand had shifted due to recent rains. (It is a private bridge) Not real TALL…in any case..He HIT his head on the Boulder. Lived a little while. Not long. My sister was in the shower. But she coverup and ran to him. Neighbors said his LAST WORDS were “pain” BUT NO!!! I am sure he said PAM!!! My sister MUST MOVE!! She cannot look at the Bridge that is literally at her front door. And her children WILL NOT CROSS that bridge!! Makes the memory RAW as those 2 teenage children SAW the accident. The ER DOC worked long and hard to no avail as my Brother-In-Law was a ‘young man’. Just after Larry got killed…the next week..Pam had to have a Pacer/Defill REIMPLANT! Dear God!! My brother is a preacher and officiated at Larry’s Funeral. Although my brother cried too. I was with my sister. It was me that MADE her look at Larry!! ((I felt badly)) BUT she needed to say Goodbye. We look like twins. Many thought I was Pam. ((Our little sister Sheila was Killed when she was only 18)) Now my Dad!
Agent99 commented:
I am devasted!! Here is what happened to my first cousin “Dickie” Ladd. He was an Osbourne. The GUN they used was given to him by his dad “DICK SR” Robin is trying to get off the charges. With Appeals. WE PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT NEVER HAPPENS! His son Matt looks just like Dickie. http://www.state.wv.us/wvsca/docs/fall01/28853.htm “On October 20, 1998, Richard Ladd was murdered in his home in Jackson County, West Virginia. Oliver “Buddy” Jarrell and Jill Hodge were hiding in the Ladd residence when Richard Ladd arrived home from work. Jarrell shot Ladd once in the chest with a 30-caliber rifle.
Buddy Jarrell was subsequently convicted of first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the death of Richard Ladd. Jill Hodge pled guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to ten to forty years in prison. Charlie Hodge, Jill’s father, pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter and received a sentence of three to fifteen years.
Robin Ladd, Richard Ladd’s wife, defendant below and appellant herein, was charged, in the first count of the indictment, with first-degree murder. The second count of the indictment alleged an agreement between the defendant, Charlie Hodge, Jill Hodge, and Buddy Jarrell to kill Richard Ladd. The third count alleged an agreement for the same purpose between the defendant and Allen Mitchell, an acquaintance of the defendant.
The defendant’s trial occurred over several days in March 2000. The State’s theory of the case was that the defendant and Charlie Hodge were lovers who planned to kill Richard Ladd so that the defendant would acquire her husband’s farm and life insurance proceeds which amounted to in excess of $800,000.00. To carry out the plan, the defendant and Charlie Hodge allegedly hired Charlie Hodge’s daughter, Jill, and her friend Buddy Jarrell, for $5000.00 each. The defendant, her two children, Anna, nine years of age, and Matthew, fourteen years of age, and Charlie Hodge were in Parkersburg watching a movie when the murder occurred. Charlie Hodge discovered Richard Ladd’s body when he, the defendant, and the children arrived back at the Ladd residence late that evening……” Her LOVERS were scum!! Dickie was an nice looking athletic blonde. Memorial Day is upon us. Thank you! For me..this is the tip of the iceberg. Aunt Jackie gunned down Angie..(Mother kills daughter**Angela Rae Brisendine**..then shoots herself (in the heart) Jackie found face down on the bed with a bullet in her heart. Angie in Bathroom with 5 22 bullets in her back and hips. Angie bled to death SLOWLY! Was in Stars and Stripes. Happerned in Kanawha County WV.

Mark1957 commented:
WTF ! “The president’s top counterterrorism adviser on Wednesday called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam,” arguing that the term “jihadists” should not be used to describe America’s enemies.
During a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent extremists as victims of “political, economic and social forces,” but said that those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in “religious terms.”
So under this regime, the Jihadists are the victims? John Brennan needs to be tried for TREASON ASAP!!!!!

..270 Illegal Immigrants with ties to an Islamic terrorist group running free..
…”Authorities are searching for 270 Somalis believed to have entered the U.S. illegally with the help of a Virginia man who admitted contacts with an Islamic terrorist group.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent said his agency had yet to locate any of the suspected illegal immigrants.”

Stuart commented:
All of the administration’s obfuscation and lies with regard to this issue will continue until the body count begins to mount. Only when Americans come to the inescapable conclusion that their survival depends on action will they pry themselves away from American Idol and take up the cause of their own defense. But do it they will. Unfortunately the time to stop this crap before the blood begins to flow has likely passed. It looks like the next war will be a home game. The two teams are assembling and await the umpire to shout play ball. The results in any case will be appalling.

And to think the measly 1200 national guard being sent to the border, aren’t there for illegal aliens. They are there for drugs, and guns. I guess if one of these attempts to cross the border, they will look the other way?

re: [Deval Patrick dare veto it?]
having lived in MA when his Hope & Change
highness was crowned king of his domain..
imo, yes he would..
here’s a sample as to why i hold that opinion..
Patrick = Hope & Change Platform
Obama = Hope & Change Platform
Patrick = designated sanctuary cities (aka: no go zones) for illegal aliens
Obama = wants illegal aliens designated US citizens
Obama endorses Patrick
Patrick endorses Obama
fyi: Patrick & Obama are cut from the same
cloth, and echo one another to the nth degree..
and why not, both are ardent student/teacher/practitioners of Alinskyism..
[as are all narcissistic bullies, dictators, tyrants & totalitarians]
ps: the majority of people in Massachusetts see Deval Patrick in much the same way the majority in America see Obama.. and albeit not pretty.. for whatever reasons.. so far, they can’t seem to stop him either..
