"Obviously when you have any material that's suspicious, you're testing it to see if there's any toxins..."

Especially when such material is found in the possession of ragheads. Islam is the real toxin. Freedom is the cure.

They should have come in through the south, along with the rest of the never ending flow northbound. They would have never been noticed.

That was silly of them. They could be happily living in California by now if they hadn't gone the northern route.

Actually, they would probably be more comfortable in Texas, and were probably heading there.

Study Say Most Live In Houston The HoustonChronicle.com ^ | August 2002 | Edward Hegstrom

Texas has one of the nation's fastest-growing Middle Eastern populations, and most of the state's immigrants live in Houston, according to a study based on census data.

Researchers at the Center for Immigration Studies say Texas' Middle Eastern population more than doubled in the last decade, to just over 100,000, including more than 52,000 in Greater Houston.

krrk,krrk

"Houston, we have a problem"

It appears the world has forgotten the part in the invitation to "send the wretched masses from your teeming shores" that includes the caveat of "yearning to breathe free".

The constitution of the USA is not a suicide pact!

except that, "...the two walked separately into Canada across the Rainbow Bridge from Niagara Falls, N.Y." more likely entered from Texas, and just exited up north as they finished their American tour. nice going, U.S. border patrol. Homeland Security at its finest.< /sarcasm > THIS is the 'service' for which we'll be paying taxes up the yinyang.
