Detonating a nuclear weapon in or over Juarez, Mexico is the same thing as detonating one in El Paso, Texas: The difference is it may be a little easier to effect in Juarez. From the heart of downtown El Paso to downtown Juarez is just a very short distance. Or a bomb on the international bridge dividing the two countries empties into Avenida Juárez in downtown Juarez, on the south and El Paso downtown to the north could do the job and would be easy for any terrorist to pull off. Nowhere else on the planet are two major cities of two different nations so closely tied together and vulnerable — or so easy to visit from either side day or night.
One nuclear weapon placed in Juarez Mexico could kill up-wards of two million people almost half of them Americans living in both El Paso and Juarez.
Just a historical reminder: The atomic bomb named "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, a Boeing B-29 bomber, at 8:15 in the morning of August 6, 1945 - 62 years ago.
Of growing concern to some U.S. officials is the way the terrorists south of the border are taking advantage of the lack of sophistication on the Mexicans part for their inability and unwillingness to protect their own borders from terrorist infiltration and are using the low Mexican immigration standards and the U.S. open border to slip into Mexico or the U.S. with a nuclear weapon or dirty bomb.
Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey told NewsMax in an exclusive interview that terrorists could strike the American homeland — possibly with a weapon of mass destruction.
A terrorist strike with a nuclear, dirty bomb or with biological weapons was "a real possibility." Woolsey's comments echo those of FBI Director Robert Mueller, who told NewsMax that al-Qaeda's paramount goal is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Tens of millions of radical Muslims, mostly of Arabic descent, live in Latin America.
International law-enforcement authorities combating terrorism have growing concerns about a major influx into Mexico of Arabic-speaking visitors carrying Cuban, Russian, Greece, Holland and other European passports.
Many of the passport holders could not even speak the language of their so-called mother land, according to a secret report given to the Mexican legislators.
Intelligence sources have been warning us that they have noticed a tendency among Islamic terrorists to operate in Mexico. Mexico with a territory slightly bigger than Alaska and with geographic extremes that have proven perfect for hiding bombs, weapons, illegal aliens, and drugs is currently what’s going on south of our border.
According to the "INM" (Mex. Immigr.) Just last week six adult male Iraqis were arrested in Tapachula, state of Chiapas, while attempting to reach the Distrito Federal of Mexico and to proceed to the United States from that point. In their preliminary declaration, the six said they entered through Central America, reached Guatemala and that there they purchased the false passports from Greece and Holland which they initially presented to Mexican officials when arrested. They also claimed they crossed the Suchiate River (bordering Mexico and Guatemala) on a raft.
The names on the phony passports were Hristov Eroslavov Dobromir, Mirian Sitkinas, Carlos Harden, Stevan Bergian, Vasileios Venetis and Vasilev Martinov Georgi.
Another two Iraqis with false Bulgarian passports were detected and detained at the airport in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Now, Mexican officials are reportedly investigating "a network that could be made up of Mexicans operating in Greece who is selling false Bulgarian passports for ten thousand dollars to European and Middle Eastern citizens." Last year 28 Illegalsfrom Iraq were detected at the airport in Monterrey alone (El Porvenir said there were 23, seventeen of them in a single event) The latest two, "Wisam Gorgies", 34 yr. old male, and "Rana Nazar Peyoz", 26 yr. old female, flew from Madrid and said they obtained the false passports in Greece; their aim was to reach the United States.
The Mexican government is very concerned with the up-tick of known Mexican communist party members who are being converted to Islam this arises from recent immigrants who import new radical jihadi philosophies into their ranks. These people are also active in Islamic missionary work converting the poor and destitute with promises of a better life under Islam.
These terrorists are organized in active cells around the country of Mexico according to a Mexican General who wants to remain nameless. I have seen documents describing part of the drug-smuggling cartels cooperation with terrorists using their existing routes though Mexico to the states. Islamic terrorists are paying millions to the Mexicans to transport their drugs from Afghanistan, as well as weapons and people. These elaborate well defined drug routes run through a web of border crossings pointing also to the complex cooperation between various "smuggling cartels and the terrorists." These belong to jihadi organizations such as al-Qaeda, joining forces with local drug lords, developing and greasing their smuggling skids with money all the way to Mexico aiming ultimately to hit the U.S.
With the nature of lawlessness, graft, poverty and disorder in Mexico, enables operatives of such terrorist groups as al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas to operate with impunity. These organizations have turned Mexico into a logistical attack base.
The growing danger is that the militant Islam terrorists have penetrated Mexico. Some of them have ties to smugglers operating in American states bordering Mexico, especially those with connections in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California.
Experienced anti-terror experts report the Mexican border is the Achilles heel of the Department of Homeland Security.
Islam is on the move in Mexico and throughout Latin America, making dramatic gains in converting the native population, increasing immigration, establishing businesses and charities and attracting attention from U.S. government officials who have asked their neighbors to the south to keep an eye on foreign Muslim groups.
Al-Qaeda and other allied organizations are expanding operations throughout Mexico, establishing both legitimate and criminal enterprises to help fund future attack operations.
According to U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela Charles Shapiro, almost every extremist terror group is now represented in Latin America.
Pentagon officials have confirmed human smuggling rings in Latin America are attempting to sneak al-Qaeda operatives into the U.S.
Anti-terrorism experts say extremist cells tied to Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and al-Qaeda network are operating in Argentina, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Uruguay.
FBI Director Robert Mueller told a congressional panel that illegal aliens from countries with ties to al-Qaeda have crossed into the U.S. from Mexico using false identities. Mueller said some of the aliens are people with Middle Eastern names who have adopted Hispanic last names before coming into the U.S.
"We are concerned, Homeland Security is concerned about special interest aliens entering the United States," Mueller said. The U.S. Bush administration officials have previously said al-Qaeda could try to infiltrate the United States through the Mexican border.
Al-Qaeda has become deeply involved in cocaine and heroine trafficking, arms and uranium smuggling, counterfeiting CDs and DVDs and money-laundering activities.
Cash laden Non-Mexicans often are more difficult to intercept because they typically pay high-end smugglers a large sum of money to efficiently assist them in setting up in Mexico or help them across the border, rather than traverse it on their own.
According to the WorldNetDaily many of America’s enemies have chosen Mexico as a target to locate and undermine security in the Americas and weaken America politically and strategically. America’s various adversaries have chosen Mexico as their infiltration route. And American politicians are opening the doors wide to our enemies with NAFTA and The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) programs.
Robert Grenier, who was head of the CIA's counter-terrorism center, told a press conference in Mexico that the Muslim terrorist organizations see the illegal immigration and drug trafficking networks in the Latin American nations 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.

This sentence alone may have killed more English teachers than a nuclear bomb would.
So, if we take over Mexico, will all the illegals move south?
I still say annexation just might be the best way to fix the mexico problem.
“special interest aliens” — now that’s a chilling phrase
This would be frightening if we hadn’t been living under threat of total thermonuclear annihilation since the fifties.
The only solution is to annex Mexico so that we can then enforce terrorism protections at the new borders. It also wouldn’t hurt to make the populace start paying income tax too.
They could nuke 5 miles out of Long Beach Harbor before being inspected and would take out everything for a tens of miles with the explosion and radiation, but being in the water, they would also cause mayor trouble up and down the coast with a giant waves. Radioactives one as well...
It would do far less damage to do that in Mexico like that than in water off our shore.
Articles I've read sure seem to have a good point IMO.

The REAL Problem for AQ is that if doesn’t happen inside of a Major American Media center, LIKE NEW YORK, it just won’t get the kind of coverage 9/11 did...
The trade centers effected THEM, the Liberal Media elites, directly.
If the same thing had happened in Denver, it would still be worldwide news, but it wouldn’t have had the same effect.
Annexation isn’t an answer, the answer is getting all nuclear arsenals under control around the world.
I think the best way terrorist like Iran can get nukes would simply be to buy one.
They have all the money they need, you have elements in Russia probably who would give them one figuring it would be exploded on our soil so for Russia it would be a boost.
Russia could damage America and get paid for it.
They are still ambitious on a world stage and are fast and loose with their security when they want to be with weapons for sale.
Good luck trying to secure nuke’s the world over. If you can figure out how to do that I’ll kiss your a... Aunt Sally.
Huh? My dear friend, you think if they wipe out Los Angeles and a bunch of the western seashore they would get no coverage for it?
With all due respect, I think you are wrong about that.
Right, securing nukes world over is impossible at this time, which is why I made the point that AQ with Iran could simply buy one someplace and just use it.
Granted, we don’t want an Iran in position to make them, but they are rich and could easily buy one or some.

Send home the friggin' illegals - make the Mexican govt choose the path - and they'll clean up their own mess. Right now, border "chaos" and disorder work for Mexican elites - up the ante. See who drops out.
The "mutual" part was the elites and the leaders. Russians built bomb shelters for themselves.
Muslims hide under the unknown. They feel safe knowing it's going to be hard to pin the attack on any one country - and that's the problem.
For MAD to work, the rulers need to know they go with the great unwashed of their respective countries.
That’s not an issue but a historical fallacy. Many assumed that total thermonuclear annihilation was going to happen any day. The mutual thing came later, much later.
They are detonating an atomic nuke, not dropping an asteroid. Please do some more research before putting your freak-out on.
