Terrorists Getting Mexican Passports?

An Americas Report news investigation shows individuals posing a terror threat to the United States are increasingly obtaining access to stolen or doctored passports, which then can be used to obtain visas to enter the U.S. with the purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks.

The report notes several instances where this has already happened:

# Four of the 19 hijackers from 9/11 carried genuine Saudi passports that had been "manipulated in a fraudulent manner" to obtain genuine U.S. visas.

# In 2005, four individuals were charged with smuggling dozens of Iraqis and Jordanians into the U.S. through South America beginning in 2001 on stolen European passports.

# In 2007, an NBC News investigation uncovered a black market for stolen passports in Latin America.

# Last week, three Afghani Muslim men were caught carrying genuine stolen Mexican passports with their pictures and data while en route to Europe.

Why get Mexican passports? Can’t they sneak into Mexico, like they sneak into the USA?

What a shocker.

A couple years back a Hamas member was arrested in Detroit. He got a passport (forged) in Syria, to Mexico and then snuck across the border.

Don't worry. John McCain assures us that he just one of "God's children"!

My word, who could have ever imagined?

Shocking in’nit?

Terrorists...Mexican passports...what a surprise. /sarc

A mexican collapse would be an ideal opportunity for islamderthal terrorists. Chaos in mexico and millions flowing across the border would be perfect cover,

Millions are already flowing across the border.

[cripplecreek]

Not at the rate they’ll flow if the Mexican “government” falls.

Officially falls, right?

IMO, in many areas of Mexico that are now de facto controlled by organized crime rings and drug cartels, the de jure government has already fallen.

Hussein is ALL over this...

Clever move on terrorists’ part even absent a Mexican collapse. This makes open-borders Republicans like McCain, Graham, and the Wall Street Journal crew their active allies in trying to infilitrate the US, contrary to these RINOs’ claims of trying to keep us safe.

Ping!

Badges? They don’t need no stinking badges!

Really, they can just walk across with the rest of the goofs.

[DoughtyOne]

Oh... come on! That can’t be! :-)

[MaggieCarta]

I’m not worried, our elected leaders are all over this. (Must I type the /sarc off?)

[Impy]

I’m a bit mystified as to why there haven’t been dozens of smaller attacks since 9/11. It ain’t hard to get in here...

Canadian smugglers are even taking their aliens to Mexico and them crossing them over the border. Mexico has trade ties with Iran and never supports the USA at the UN
