Homeland Security: Duncan Hunter got the number wrong but the problem right in Tuesday's GOP presidential debate. We need to worry about al-Qaida in Iraq but also about al-Qaida and Hezbollah in the Americas.
The long-shot congressman from San Diego tried to make the point that border security isn't just about people coming into this country looking for a better life, but also people possibly coming across looking to end our way of life as we know it.
Hunter has stated that last year some 155,000 illegals were caught coming into this country classified as OTMs (other than Mexicans). In light of the Albanian nationality of the Fort Dix Six, a group that included illegal aliens whose original point of entry is unknown, this should be a matter of some concern.
The actual number, according to the Border Patrol, is 98,153 for the fiscal year ended last September. The number Hunter used is from a year earlier. But his point that border security is also an issue of national security remains valid.

Not going to have to worry about border security anymore...

Actually we do know that some of them were smuggled across our Southern border.

Most Hizballah terrorist group supporters live in Dearborn Michigan (large Lebanese Shia community) and some other parts of the country. I myself doubt that Hizballah terrorist will risk coming to the US illegally through the Mexican borders. If they want to come from abroad, it will be those with EU or Canadian passports where no visa is needed to enter the US. Also there is a good number of them already here and are permanent residents (Green Card holders) or US citizens.
Homeland Security my @$$. The DC morons invite enemies in by the boatloads. Like inviting snakes into the living room.
