MEXICO CITY Mexico says its arrested four Iraqis who were trying to sneak into the United States without the proper documents.
Mexico's Attorney General's office says police -- acting on an anonymous tip -- found the four aboard a bus in the northern city of Navajoa (nav-ah-HO-. That's about 375 miles south of the Arizona border.
The statement says the Iraqis were in Mexico illegally.
Officials are investigating the background of the four and trying to determine how they got into Mexico.
Many undocumented Iraqi nationals have been captured in Mexican territory en route to the U-S border. None have been found to have had any links to terrorism.

Just doing the probable terrorist attacks that Americans won't do. I am so fed up with Bush and the GOP's inaction on the border.
To: Cagey
I am shocked they caught them.....those Iraqi's must not have had enough bribe money.

Wow, yet another reason to secure the border.
To: Cagey
My thanks too. But this is the end of the open border. Close it now.

Exactly. Bush is so wrong on the border it is scary. His stubbornness & stupidity on this issue is insane.

I wonder if they tried to rip off someone in the process of getting into the country. Terrorist aren't exactly honest people.

I liked Dennis Millers suggestion: Hire the illegals to build a wall & when they finish....hip check them to the other side.

I thought the Mexican government believed in "derechos humanos" for migrants. I'm not sorry that they did but what's up with them violating these poor Iraqiis human rights?

US: Hey Mexico, we gotta do something about all these border crossers, there might be terrorists mixed in with them and the people are really pissed that we aren't doing anything but lip service.
Mexico: OK, we'll toss you guys a bone that the media will like. How about we "catch" some Iraqi's? We'll get it set up for next week.
US: Great! We need it appear that we're both doing something.
Mexico: You got it! BTW, can you guys ease up on our troops doing the drug smuggling? We lost a Hummer in last week's firefight.
US: Yeah, sorry about that. Those were Texas lawmen, not US military, they're a bit harder for us to control, so be more careful next time.
Mexico: Thanks for the warning!

Makes one wonder how many have gotten into the US without being detected.

Aren't these 4 just "day laborers" who are trying to better themselves? I think Mexico should give them a drivers license and a map so they can travel safely.
