Utah: Illegal aliens worked at top-secret WMD facility

The Dugway Proving Ground in Utah is a top-secret base where the U.S. Army does research into biological and chemical weapon defense. Nine illegal aliens were caught working there recently.

"Just by saying you're working for a subcontractor, you can access one of the most highly top secret installations in the country, dealing with weapons of mass destruction," [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent Adam Parks] said. "Once inside the perimeter, they had their identification and would go to work, not monitored. They didn't have an escort or anything like that."

The workers - no doubt good-hearted - were employed by Spacecon West and aren't suspected of having links to terrorists. However, in 2004 Congressman John Culberson (R-TX) reported that Al Qaeda-related terrorists - disguised as Mexicans - are crossing illegally into the U.S. FBI Director Robert Mueller has also discussed this matter. Many more possible infiltrations discussed here.

On the rare occasions when the Dems discuss our "homeland security" president failing to keep the homeland secure, they inevitably mention port security, but they intentionally avoid discussing border security. Obviously, they should change their mind and discuss this. They probably won't, since they're just as corrupt as the GOP leadership.

That illegal immigrants work at the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah does not surprise me. Ft. Huachuca in SE Arizona is the Army's worldwide communication center, its electronic proving ground (e.g. the Predator was developed here), and home to its intelligence school. This based is criscrossed by illegal immigrant smuggling trails--untold thousands cross it each year. But, you better not enter it as an unathorized US citizen as it is highly restricted. Yes you read right, it is closed to US citizens because of security concerns, but open to illegal aliens to use as they please.

How crazy that a major army base in AZ and the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah are open to illegal aliens. This is another example of how insane our open borders/mass amnesty policy is after 9/11.

By doing so they were proving something. I guess.
