U.S. official: Al-Qaida is exploring border

Associated Press ^ | 02/18/2005 | Suzanne Gamboa

[R. Scott]

Fortunately Al Qaida is restricted to communicating by secure messenger now. They know we’re listening in to cell phones and internet commo.
Thank you, National Security Agency.

[Texas_Jarhead]

They are just trying to come here to do the suicide bombings that Americans won't do.

I'm firmly convinced that the country 'needs' another 9/11 in order to get serious.

So am I. Preferably Hollywood or San Francisco. That's where the foot dragging is coming from.

More on this & sad to say I never saw this story reported even in the Dallas news.

Not only 'catch & release'......FREE TAXI SERVICE !!

"Border Patrol Releases Immigrants at Bus Station"

[Cultural Jihad]

I'm firmly convinced that the country 'needs' another 9/11 in order to get serious. Both parties don't care about the borders or the illegal immigration crisis.

Nonsense on both counts. The nation is already serious about the WOT, and the illegal immigration crisis is being dealt with already.

"There is much evidence to convince us that interdiction measures have improved; intelligence is working, technology has helped and far fewer illegal immigrants are now able to enter our ports of entry or cross our border than in the past," Loy said in his testimony.

It's a question of how many have entered and when.

See my link in # 25......

Looks like TX, ONLY, is releasing 30K OTM's yearly, 70% NEVER show up for their hearing.

Also note, BP provides free taxi service to the bus station.

[txdoda]

Officials have said that detaining the immigrants would be costly. <<

Maybe these same *officials* could tell us the *costs* at tracking down the 70% (in TX ONLY) that choose to never show up for their hearing.

THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION/TERRORIST CONNECTION, PART XXXVIII
By Michelle Malkin · February 17, 2005 03:34 AM

The New York Times reports:

New intelligence information strongly suggests that Al Qaeda has considered infiltrating the United States through the Mexican border, top government officials told Congress on Wednesday....
snip----

In the past, law enforcement officials have said Al Qaeda might try to use the Mexican border, but the testimony on Wednesday seemed to suggest increasing concern. In response to questions from the senators, Admiral Loy described it as a "very serious situation...."

Good thing the White House is on the case. Not.

For more on the vulnerability of our southern border to terrorism, see here, here, and here.

I live in West Texas, this threat is real to me and very close to home.

Can citizens SUE elected officials? What is recourse besides withholding votes? Threatening not to vote for someone already in office is laughable - they just don't care. We MUST find a way to FORCE these people to do their jobs or We The People WILL do it FOR THEM!

Well, when the shootin' starts, I just bet we wont see hide nor hair of the traitorous "officials".

[JustAnotherSavage]

"Can citizens SUE elected officials?"

An attorney on this forum said one would have to sue "agencies" rather than the officials. Much of what many citizens are going through with II would have to fall under the category of a "taking". I'm surprised someone (enviro's) hasn't sued under the Environmental species act because of the
degredation of "protected habitat" with the foot traffic from the south. Have you seen some of the pictures of what they do to the environment? The latino gangs are raising crops of marijuana in national parks in California. It's crazy.

[Brad’s Gramma]

You've been here for almost a month and THIS is your first post?????

[Helium Rat]

Does anyone know of any estimates that have been made of the cost of 911, including lost jobs in the travel industry etc?

Heard it was $50 billion.

I am with you. We need to park the damn army on the border. Or build a $50 billion wall. I'd spring for that....

[Ben Ficklin]

What do you think is the biggest threat?

The possibility that a terrorist could enter from Mexico and attack us?

The possibility that the attack will come from a sleeper that has been in this country all along?

[bayourod]

"The majority of the non-Mexican immigrants released are from Latin American countries. "

Just a politician playing one group against another. The justification used to be "It's for the children", now it's "It's for for security"

[Happy2BMe]

How many of the Saudi 9/11 bombers were notified by mail to renew their voter registration - SIX MONTHS AFTER 9/11 - and AFTER THEIR MISERABLE MUGS WERE PLASTERED ON EVERY MEDIUM KNOWN TO GOD AND MAN!
