Congressman: Al Qaeda entering southern border and changing names to Mexican surnames

KFI 640 Radio Los Angeles | 7.16.04 | Joe Hadenuf

[Joe Hadenuf]

Congressman John Culverson just stated he has just received informantion from Southern District U.S. Attorney Michael Shelby (Texas)that Al Quida members have been entering from our southern border and have been entering through Texas and blending into towns....He stated this was classified and he given the OK to release this information.

The congressman may be a former congress memeber, I didn't hear his complete title. He is on KFI Los Angeles now.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Read this, they are on now.....

[churchillbuff]

When Michael Medved asked for anti-terror strategies, a caller suggested we bring troops back from Iraq to guard the border. Medved said immigration issues have no relevance to fighting terror. STUPID STUPID STUPID.

[Bahbah]

Uh oh.

[MissyMa]

Very disturbing but not surprising. This is why we need to seriously clean up our borders.

[Tall_Texan]

Be on the look out for:

Muhammad Zapata
Osama Martinez
Hassan Rodriguez
Omar Moreno...eh, no, scratch that last one!

[MissyMa]

Be on the look out for: Muhammad Zapata Osama Martinez Hassan Rodriguez Omar Moreno...eh, no, scratch that last one!

LOL!!!

[cripplecreek]

Watching a baseball game here, I think I found some.


Omar Infante ?

AQ needs small teams to accomplish what they want here. you will never be able to have border security tight enough (Mexico or Canada) to stop 20 determined people from getting across. Not that I am disagreeing with you about better border control for illegal immigration, I agree with you. But all I am saying is, you'd have to build an iron curtain across the mexican and canadian border to stop 20 people.

[dennisw]

Omar is a popular Hispanic name.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Culverson says federal prosecutors have told him LARGE NUMBERS have entered through our southern border and have blended into Texas and changed their names to Spanish surnames.....

He says Federal prosecutors have ID'd terrorist/people friendly to terrorist that have entered and are entering our southern border, changing their names and obtaining Matricular cards

[ServesURight]

Guess I'm eating a little crow...you were right after all.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Very disturbing but not surprising

You bet, the radio host are stunned at what this guy is saying... Still on.......

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Nobody saw this coming. < /sarcasm >

Unfortunately, both presidential candidates are too busy thinking up amnesty plans in a bid to win the taco vote.

[doug from upland]

Thanks for the heads up.

[oceanview]

and how do they know this? have they arrested any of these people? how have they "IDed" them, if they snuck across the border?

[Guillermo]

If we had real border sucurity, they'd be less apt to even try it.

What scares me more than our porous borders is the fact that about 100,000 Mohammedans are allowed to immigrate to this country every year.

[livius]

Personally, by now I think AQ has probably recruited some native-born Americans to do its low-level dirty work. And as for the head honchos, I doubt that they're swimming across the Rio Grande or even heading down into Buffalo. As you pointed out, it only takes a handful, and they're probably already here, legitimately and with their papers in order.

[Joe Hadenuf]

We predicted this right after 911, if the borders were not shut down.

[MissyMa]

Nobody saw this coming. < /sarcasm > Unfortunately, both presidential candidates are too busy thinking up amnesty plans in a bid to win the taco vote.

THIS is what ticks me off. We have to put our country in danger because of potential votes!

[truthkeeper]

I'm listening too. Thanks for posting this, Joe. BUMP

[BagCamAddict]

Amazing. This is not news to most of us here in Freepland, but sadly it appears it IS news to people like the Congressman. Tsk tsk tsk.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Now, now...those nice terrorists just want to blow up buildings and kill innocent civilians, you know, do the jobs that ordinary Americans won't do...

[oceanview]

I agree with you on the second part.

but a determined team of jihadis could get across that border even with better security, unless it looked like the Berlin Wall all the way across.

[TeleStraightShooter]

muuMuuHahahahah!

[Joe Hadenuf]

The congressman from Houston, is on now, stating he has been informed this information by federal proscecuters !!!!

[MissyMa]

Disturbing Ping

[Joe Hadenuf]

Thanks for that, I wasn't familier with the spelling of the Congressman's name.....

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

He stated this was classified and he given the OK to release this information.

Yeah. That's exactly how the release of classified information is handled. Not.

[truthkeeper]

Culverson says federal prosecutors have told him LARGE NUMBERS have entered through our southern border and have blended into Texas and changed their names to Spanish surnames.....

Yes, and didn't he say they're "blending in" as doctors, pharmacists, etc.? I'm listening on the run...

[Joe Hadenuf]

Amazing. This is not news to most of us here in Freepland, but sadly it appears it IS news to people like the Congressman. Tsk tsk tsk.

He stated he was just allowed to release this information, and it was classified until just very recently.....

[oceanview]

I understand, but what I am saying is - how do these prosecuters know this? did they catch some of these guys? did they break up an attempt to smuggle AQ people in? for them to say they know this is happening, means they must have knowledge that it has actually occurred.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Yes, and didn't he say they're "blending in" as doctors, pharmacists, etc.? I'm listening on the run...

You bet, in LARGE NUMBERS !

[EdJay]

"Al Quida members have been entering from our southern border and have been entering through Texas and blending into towns....He stated this was classified and he given the OK to release this information."

I remain dubious. They change their names to Hispanic ones, and "blend" in by pretending to be MEXICANS???? Seems to me their cover would be blown in minutes.

Do they also take intensive conversational Spanish in order to do this?

Why would a US Attorney give out information like that to a congressman, and why would a congressman blat it out on a radio station?

I'd like to hear a lot more before buying this one.

[NJ_gent]

"This is why we need to seriously clean up our borders."

I'm almost to the point where I'll vote for whoever agrees to secure our coasts and borders, almost to the exclusion of the rest of their platform. This is the number one issue this year, and NEITHER of the two major candidates for President have shown any sign whatsoever of providing security at the border. In fact, both have shown a disturbing willingness to open the borders up even wider than they already are, and to prevent the USBP from performing its duties. Things are getting ridiculously dangerous with this issue. This will simply become a worse and worse problem until shopping malls and nightclubs start randomly exploding.

[petitfour]

We went to a Mexican restaurant not long after 9/11, and I observed this very thing. The host was no more Mexican than I am. He was Middle Eastern, and he was attempting to blend in with the large numbers of Mexicans who work in local restaurants. We've never been back to that restaurant, but I keep it in mind. What a way to have cover. Start a Mexican restaurant, and hire a bunch of illegals who won't give you away because they, too, will be in trouble. It's not a comforting thought.

[oceanview]

well, that must mean that some of these guys were caught somehow - and they determined their method of entry. or, they broke up a ring of people already inside the country who were facilitating them being brought in, and the method was revealed in that manner.

[BJungNan]

When Michael Medved asked for anti-terror strategies, a caller suggested we bring troops back from Iraq...

No, not from Iraq. Bring them back from Germany.

[DuncanWaring]

...and how do they know this?

In early 2003, someone cleaning up Free-Range-Latino trash near Tombstone, AZ found a notebook/diary written in arabic.

There's a start.

[raybbr]

Omar Infante ?

That one's okay. Now, if it was Omar Intifada......

[BagCamAddict]

Oh I'm sure it was "classified" - I'm not debating that... I'm just saying we here in Freepland knew this is what they were doing, whether or not we had "official" confirmation of it from any "agency." It doesn't take a rocket scientist to have figured this out... proof of that is that the terrorists are doing it!

[Joe Hadenuf]

how do these prosecuters know this? did they catch some of these guys?

Again, I just heard he received information from the Southern District U.S. Attorney Michael Shelby (Texas)that Al Quida members have been entering from our southern border.

I would assume so as he stated in large numbers and some have now been identified.

Trying to work, post and listen to the radio.....

Is anyone really surprised about this??

[QQQQQ]

"AQ needs small teams to accomplish what they want here. you will never be able to have border security tight enough (Mexico or Canada) to stop 20 determined people from getting across. Not that I am disagreeing with you about better border control for illegal immigration, I agree with you. But all I am saying is, you'd have to build an iron curtain across the mexican and canadian border to stop 20 people.

You are absolutely right.

[eastforker]

Hell, they recruited Timmy M and Terry N, looks like they got it going their way.

[cripplecreek]

"That one's okay. Now, if it was Omar Intifada......"


The Yankees might disagree, they're being terrorized tonight. 8-0

[oceanview]

no, all I am saying is that there must be some additional piece of information - a capture, and arrest, something that turned this from a guess to a fact.

[lightman]

Lot of truth to this....now hear this, all cops & security folks: if the guy shows you a Mexican ID or claims to be Hispanic: MAKE SURE HE CAN SPEAK SPANISH!

[BagCamAddict]

Um, what part if this are you questioning? That it is happening? Or that the Congressman received what he claims is classified info that is ok to release? Or that a US Attorney would release such info?

Surely you aren't questioning that it's happening, right??

[TomGuy]

We predicted this right after 911, if the borders were not shut down.

It is astonishing how many politicians get elected, sent to Washington, and somewhere on the trip, lose their common sense.

Even before 9-11, common sense would have said that open borders would lead to infiltration by undesirables. Especially after 9-11, common sense cried out for the Washington electees to restrict illegals from entering.
