Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) let slip a bombshell disclosure at a news conference today to announce a bill targeting states that allow illegal aliens to get drivers licenses.
During the Q&A with reporters, Myrick gave as a reason for proposing the bill the recent capture of three al Qaeda terrorists at the U.S.-Mexico border.
A check of Google News turned up no references to this incident, yet Myrick stated this was a 'given fact.'
No reporter asked her about this revelation, but it was noted at the end of a Charlotte Observer article by Tim Funk.
Two Representatives from North Carolina, Virginia Foxx (R) and Patrick McHenry (R) stood with Myrick at the press conference. Neither commented on her matter of fact statement.
Rep. Myrick's remarks can be heard online at her Congressional Website here. the statement is made at about 8:45 into the press conference.
A call placed to Myrick's office in D.C. was not answered as the office is closed for the evening.
Transcript:
"Our main concern is, who's in our state? I mean this is a critical issue today. I mean they just arrested down on the border, what a couple of weeks ago, three al Qaeda members who came across from Mexico into the United States. I mean that's a given fact. They were holding them in the jail down there."
(squint) Freedom......(incongruous smile) Freedom.....we're winning! (squint)
I haven't ever read a post that said AQ is coming to America BECAUSE the borders are open; I have read about logical concerns that America is leaving itself more vulnerable, to AQ and other criminal elements, i.e., millions of illegal aliens, because the borders are OPEN.
Where there's smoke there's fire!
If you were a terrorist wanting to spend time and money without getting caught or drawing attention, you wouldn't come across the Mexican line.
If you wanted to steal millions from a company and have a good chance at getting away with it, would you walk in and hold them up at gunpoint or would you get a job as an accountant and start embezzling funds, transferring invisible money into an off shore account?
Don't answer that. I think I know. You're no accountant.
Thank you much for the ping...
I wonder why this wasn't in the news? < /sarcasm >
19 of 19 of 9/11 hijackers were here before 9/11. Please don't feign ignorance. I would like to think that we can progress. Visas and airports are being diligently watched. I would go thru the area that isn't.
I also drive a low rider.
BUMP!
Not really that hugh.
Oh, yeah, I forgot: deport all the known and verified Reconquistadores and their fellow-travelers. After that, we can deport all the other illegals.
Subversives and traitors first, other lawbreakers next.
We NEED to Protest!
No, separate issue...this congressman mentioned terrorists crossing the border into Texas.
Please add me to the Ping
You mean the place where MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS come through?
North Carolina is a mini version of France. Islamofacist beachhead.
heehee. Yes I can see it; the hijackers had pilot identities on them. Can you see an American Airlines 757 captain walking thru the desert? "Honest Officer, I am late for my plane!"
