I thought it was illegal to move that much cash around per the war on drugs.
...would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad appeared on a Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list - Traveler Enforcement Compliance System (TECS) - between 1999 and 2008 because he brought approximately $80,000 cash or cash instruments into the United States.Ah yes, the D of Homeland Security in 1999... I think they were already in operation when Nixon sent Kerry to Cambodia in 1968.
“The system worked,” eh Nappy?
-- Embassy bombing plotter Khalid Abu al Dahab obtained U.S. citizenship after marrying three different American women.
-- Ali Mohamed became an American citizen after marrying a woman he met on a plane trip from Egypt to New York. Linda Lee Sanchez married Mohamed in Reno, Nev., after a six-week "courtship." Mohamed became a top aide to Osama bin Laden and was later convicted for his role in the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Africa that killed 12 Americans and more than 200 others.

-- El Sayyid A. Nosair married Karen Ann Sweeney to avoid deportation for overstaying his visa. He acquired U.S. citizenship and was later convicted for conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that claimed six lives.
-- Times Square terrorist bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad married an American woman, Huma Mian, in 2008 after spending 10 years in the country on foreign student and employment visas.
(Thanks to previous poster here for this data, but I've lost your name)
The problem is obvious.....dumb American women!
As I stated in another thread, it is so hard for me to see these things unfold. I have always loved your country and felt a kinship with America far beyond that of my fellow countrymen. I wish I could become a U.S. citizen but now know it is highly unlikely.
Yet these people are able to become citizens. So very wrong in my eyes but what do I know.
LMFAO
No, as you correctly pointed out, El Gato. But the mere fact that CBS said it is so is just so indicative of the of the slipshod journalism and historical ignorance that characterizes so much of the MSM and CBS in particular.
Not exactly surprising. Compared to CBS' whopper when Rather gleefully reported that George W. Bush went AWOL from the National Guard, this goof was relatively benign.
