JW Confirms: 4 ISIS Terrorists Arrested in Texas in Last 36 Hours
OCTOBER 08, 2014
Islamic terrorists have entered the United States through the Mexican border and Homeland Security sources tell Judicial Watch that four have been apprehended in the last 36 hours by federal authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety in McAllen and Pharr.
JW confirmed this after California Congressman Duncan Hunter, a former Marine Corp Major and member of the House Armed Services Committee, disclosed on national television that at least ten Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) fighters have been caught crossing the Mexican border in Texas. The veteran lawmaker got the astounding intel straight from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Homeland Security agency responsible for guarding the 1,933-mile southern border.
If you really want to protect Americans from ISIS, you secure the southern border, Hunter proclaimed on a national cable news show this week. Its that simple. ISIS doesnt have a navy, they dont have an air force, they dont have nuclear weapons. The only way that ISIS is going to harm Americans is by coming in through the southern border which they already have. The three-term congressmen went on: They arent flying B-1 bombers, bombing American cities, but they are going to be bombing American cities coming across from Mexico.
In late August JW reported that Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources confirmed to JW that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.
Back then intelligence officials said they had picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to carry out an attack on the border, according JWs sources. Its coming very soon, confirmed a high-level government official who clearly identified the groups planning the plots as ISIS and Al Qaeda. Two days after JWs report ran, Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army post in El Paso, implemented increased security measures. The Department of Defense (DOD) attributed the move to vague security assessments and the constant concern for the safety of military members, families, employees and civilians.
However, military experts told JW that the increase in security indicates that Ft. Bliss is a target. Military installations in the U.S. only make changes to security measures when there are clear and present threats, according to retired Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, former commander of the Armys elite Delta Force who also served four years as Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. That means theyre getting a threat stream. Ft. Bliss had to have a clear and present threat, Boykin said. Following that news, federal law enforcement sources in El Paso revealed that U.S. Congressman Beto ORourke telephoned the area offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) in an effort to identifyand evidently intimidatesources that may have been used by JW to break the ISIS in Juarez story.
If you haven’t already seen it, here’s a good response to Chavez that was posted at National Review:
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/420980/lowry-right-immigration
He shows that some of her stats have problems, but more importantly he points out that her basic argument, which is that undereducated Mexican immigrants perform slightly less badly by some measures than undereducated native-borns therefore there’s no problem with letting them come here, is bogus for the simple reason that Mexican immigrants are much more likely to be uneducated.
Read this piece and you will be well equipped to deal with people on Facebook etc. who are making Chavez type arguments.
The guys at www.CIS.Org Center for Immigration Studies have the best research and data.
This is a complete and deliberate misstatement Read below and these figures (below) are only from 2004. I taught in a Level IV California prison. From what I observed, there were at least 30% of the inmate population who were illegals.
Heather Mac Donald’s testimony before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims:
In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide in the first half of 2004 (which totaled 1,200 to 1,500) targeted illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) were for illegal aliens. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican Nationals here illegally
