ok, that will spark interest in DNC rallies! Image seeing muslims in their tradtional attire carrying anti-republican signs.

Interesting comments.

As for their "tightness" - that's partly because their ways are so different from mainstream American ways and the aloofness and secrecy is meant to to keep Americans at arm's length in general from knowing the sordidness (yes sordidness) of reality in Yemeni communities.

Okay, I have to ask, how sordid are they? It sounds awful.

We really need to think twice about keeping these vermin alive in prison, would be far better to exterminate them ASAP.

If they did receive prison sentencaes here in the states they would have to be kept well far away from other American prisoners or they won't last a day. I doubt they would ever be placed with general population.

"they would have to be kept well far away from other American prisoners or they won't last a day"

More likely they would be welcomed with open arms by all the so called converted Islamists.

It's just like we speculated some 10 months ago, only what has really happened?

no large-scale terrorist attacks, maybe one or two in addition to the July 4th shooting at LAX airport.

Hillary has not secured our borders as promised. Last week I read an article in the newspaper about a woman who lives on the Canadian border in norther NYS. Just a chain-link fence seperates the US and Canada, which is in her backyard. She says in the past year the fence has been cut numerous times, her dog has been poisoned, and smugglers have driven an 18-wheeler through the fence and across her yard.

One terrorist cell was busted in Buffalo, the first in the entire United States. What other cities will follow... Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami? Certainly Seattle, and New York City. As I said then I think that if there are terrorists in Buffalo, there are terrorists here in Rochester. Now we just have to wait and see.

So far, no real progress. I hate to be negative, but this is my analysis. Maybe there has been more arrests that the govt. hasn't made public, but I'd like to know about them, obviously! And this report from Buffalo makes me think that wasn't the entire/only cell they were looking at...

Any thoughts?

Agreed...I posted an incident a few months back where the US Border Patrol came across an Arab covered with blue mud near the river . He told them he had been in a fight at a marina..they checked and it was a lie BUT ..they had to release him as his papers were in order ..he had just "moved here" from Virginia.

The person that told me this said the BP had come into his waterfront business asking if they had seen the man..they had indeed..he had been around asking questions (pretending he wanted a glass of water a block from a McDonalds).

It was not till later my friend remembered that the soil near the Huntley pumping Station was BLUE (he had considered asking for some of it for His garden as it was rich in minerals..). The chain link fence to the pumping station was broken..He called the BP to tell them where they guy had probably been snooping

My Border Patrol son in law is being transfered north to Mich ..we will be glad to have them closer and glad that the US wil be watching the border better..but Benson..they are flooding in WITH PAPERS ..Immigration laws are the issue

I'll focus on the women first: Yemeni men have multiple wives here...wives in their home countries and wives here...they go back to Yemen once a year have children and eventually bring them here...brutality against their women...absolutely unwilling to let their women pursue any kind of life outside of marriage and children with their own men...marriages are usually arranged...fixation on qat (especially the men)-to the point of using it all day at times...unwillingness to move out of their self imposed separation from the larger community...really intense dislike for Christians and Jews and American society in general...there's lots more.

Thanks for the response. Do we really need these primitives here? I know the poem about "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses longing to be free...", but this is *different*.

Omar Sharif?

[Gulliverseyes]

SOOOO FUNNY - He is Omar II. I kept looking at this guy wondering why he looked so familiar - there you have it.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!
