Val Verde County deputy warns about terrorist infiltration

From this:

A deputy sheriff warned federal lawmakers Friday that drug traffickers are helping suspected terrorists cross from Mexico into Texas.

Val Verde County chief deputy Terry Simons offered little evidence publicly of his claims before congressmen at a meeting in Houston.

The FBI couldn't immediately confirm the lawman's account.

Simons says Texas authorities have learned of newly established camps in Mexico, where so-called "narco-terrorists" are getting trained...

Rep. John Culberson reiterates his concerns discussed in "Congressman: Terrorists are infiltrating the U.S. via Mexico" and Senator John Cornyn also had something to say. Regarding the latter, see also Sen. John Cornyn linked to Jack Abramoff and Ralph Reed?

Lassitude of immigration law and border enforcement, allows for the immigration of terrorists who use threats to gain cooperation from officials such as police. They can gain control of entire divisions of a country, as in Colombia. If these are unstoppable 'market forces' as the administration likes to pretend; we can use all manner of force against such and such 'market forces'.

America is already subject to terror all along our 2000 mile southern border. In the last few years there have been hundreds of Mexican militay "incursions" into the border states as reported here and elsewhere. The latest is the threats to sheriff deputies and their families in Texas. In AZ the Game and Fish Dept. advises hunters and fishermen not to go south of the I-10/I-8 interstates because of "homeland security issues". Border Patrol agents in AZ have been threatened and attacked. So, to further your point Mr. Bolton, the southern part of AZ has been ceded to Mexico and Texas is under attack.
