Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) said Tuesday nightthat U.S. border officials have caught at least 10″ Islamic State fighters
or people with ties to the group
as they tried to enter the U.S. through Mexico,
a claim that was immediately disputed by the Obama administration.
I know that at least 10 ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas,
Hunter said on Fox News Tuesday night.
Theres nobody talking about it.
Rep. Duncan Hunter Claims "10 Isis Fighters" Caught At The Southern Border. Greta ( 3:23 )
When asked by host Greta Van Susteren how he knows this, Hunter said,
Because Ive asked the Border Patrol, Greta.
The Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman disputed Hunters claim on Wednesday morning.
The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the southwest border is categorically false,
and not supported by any credible intelligence or the facts on the ground,
said Marsha Catron.
DHS continues to have no credible intelligence to suggest terrorist organizations are actively plotting to cross the southwest border.
But Hunters office replied by sayingHunter was told directly by a senior official that people with ties to the Islamic State have in fact been apprehended.
A high level source within the Border Patrol told the congressman otherwise, said Hunter spokesman Joe Kasper.
The congressman was conveying what he knows and what he was told.
It makes sense that the left hand of DHS doesnt know what the right hand is doing its been that way for a long time
and we dont expect that to change.
Hunter said Tuesdaythat the biggest risk that the Islamic State poses to Americansis by trying to enter the U.S. illegally and committing acts of terrorism.
If you really want to protect Americans from ISIS,you secure the southern border,
he said. Its that simple.
ISIS doesnt have a navy, they dont have an air force, they dont have nuclear weapons, he added.
The only way that ISIS is going to harm Americans isby coming in through the southern border,which they already have.
The Obama administration has come under increased scrutiny about border enforcement in light of fearsthat Islamic State fighters could try to enter the U.S. through Mexico.
Officials were already under fire for its effort to ease immigration rules,which many Republicans say has created even more incentive for people to try entering the country illegally.

Ten! Ten is nothing. Why bother ‘collecting’ them anyway. Kill them on the spot, it’s what they want anyway.

Is this WHY the KENYAN TURD had the Border Security Agents moved away from the Mexican/U.S. Border by at least 57 miles inland?

Check out this photo that, I believe, was
taken in JUAREZ, Mexico, just
across the border from El Paso, Texas.

Normally, holder would have sent a limo to pick them up.

Can you imagine what the LAME Stream Media will do, when there's an ISIS attack in El Paso Texas,
that starts with Rocket Propelled Grenades and destroys hundreds of tractor trailer rigs and other vehicles, and people on Interstate 10 ( I-10 ) ?

“The suggestion that individuals who have ties to ISIL have been apprehended at the southwest border is categorically false,

said Marsha Catron.
This statement doesn’t even make any sense. “Categorically false” and “no credible evidence” are two different things. The second sentence detracts from the first. It’s barely more credible than saying. “I categorically deny taking that bribe, and no one can prove that I did.”
Catron’s statement sounds like it was made by a robot.
And why does every statement about whether something happened or not include the now-throwaway phrase “on the ground”?. It’s like everyone’s hovering around in the ether.

West Texas Sheriff prepped for ISIS fight
TYLER WHITE, MRT : SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 : Updated: September 8, 2014 10:34am
Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter offered candid remarks to CNN on Friday regarding the militant group ISIS, stating his office is prepared for terrorist cells attempting to cross the border into Texas.
When CNN anchor Don Lemon asked what message Painter wants conveyed to the terrorist group, he firmly stated,"If they rear their ugly head, we'll send them to hell."
The sheriff said he received an alert bulletin that ISIS Islamic State of Iraq and Syria may have formed a terrorist cell in or near Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, a Mexican border city across from El Paso.
He said the alert warned law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for such activity.
The Reporter-Telegram contacted the FBI for a statement on the reports, but the organization is currently not commenting on the subject.
This is a serious issue for Painter, the former president of the Sheriff's Association of Texas. He said the situation is made worse by Texas' open border.
Painter said a reported 10 million to 15 million "undocumented aliens" have crossed the border. However, like the ISIS report, there is scarce evidence to support both claims, he said.
But Painter said the reports should be treated as a real threat. ISIS agents or cohorts, he said, might already be inside U.S. borders and planning a potential attack on American soil.
"I think it'd be naive to say that (ISIS is) not here," he told CNN.
Painter said he worked near the border at Presidio for eight years, and during that time, he noticed areas where people could easily slip into the U.S. He said many immigrants in the U.S. with visas might go unchecked when renewal time comes around and there are lax efforts for keeping tabs on people entering the country.
"Where is the safety and where is the security for this nation if that's not taking place?" he asked.
Midland County deputies go through emergency management training twice a year in coordination with other local and federal law enforcement agencies. He said the multi-agency partnership is beneficial in creating a prepared response.
"You have to work with each other," he said to CNN. "There's no way you can do your job without depending on the public and without depending on each other."
Gov. Rick Perry previously warned that terrorist forces from Iraq might already have crossed into the United States through an unsecured border with Mexico. He said this is an important issue that needs to be resolved, according to Reporter-Telegram records.
Painter said that President Barack Obama and the federal government need to take quick and appropriate action to weaken ISIS leadership. For Painter, that means striking ISIS hard at the source: Iraq and Syria.
"What needs to happen is that there needs to be enough bombs dropped on (ISIS leaders), that every time they hear a jet propeller they urinate themselves down both legs."

I don't know what McCain-ni-ack got to say so he can SPIN it to the " Establishment Republicans' " advantage.
But you can always count on McCain to screw it up.
