US fears Hamas, Hizballah setting up shop in Mexico
Israel Today ^ | Nov. 5, 2007 | Staff Writer

Washington believes the Palestinian terror group Hamas and the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist militia Hizballah are looking to set up operations in Mexico with the aim of eventually infiltrating the United States, according to a former CIA counter-terrorism official.

Robert Grenier, who until recently was head of the CIA's counter-terrorism center, told a press conference in Mexico last Thursday that the Muslim terrorist organizations see the illegal immigration and drug trafficking networks in the Latin American nation as the most effective way to move people and equipment into the US.

Grenier said that the Bush Administration fears both Hamas and Hizballah may already have sleeper cells operating in Mexico.

Hamas and Hizballah have both threatened in the past to extend their war against Israel to include the United States.

The Bush admin has a funny way of showing their concern

I believe they already have set up in the USA to some degree.

You can not go to any anti-American or La Raza rally with out a contingent of supporters of Hamas and Hizbullah ( Palestine/Palestinians in general.)

And of course they come out strong at any Pro Israel rally.

Waving the Terrorist flags and shouting hate for America etc.

There’s really no need to set up cells anywhere. Just obtain forged passports, fly into Mexico or Canada, then drive across.

Why don’t they do something about it?

That’s what I was thinking. What’s up with Pres. Bush these past couple of years? I’m just amazed that muzzie terrorists took this long to figure out their opportunity.

One almost has to be a non-American to be heard by our government. More of the same is a recipe for disaster, but more of the same is all that is being seen.

Even President Bush said (not long ago) America is going to be attacked in a way that will make 911 look small and insignificant. (or words to that affect)

The outlook is not good, when the President of the United States is speaking such words to American Citizens.

Not securing our borders to the best of our ability (which should've been the first order of business immediately after 9/11) pretty much assures that'll happen. But continental integration takes precedence over national security, evidently.
