But I Thought There Was No Danger of Terrorist Smuggling on the Southern Border
By Debbie Schlussel
Actually, I didn’t think that. I know for a fact that smuggling of Muslims–including Islamic terrorists–goes on plenty at the Southern border. Investigative journalist Todd Bensman has written a lot about it. And there have been plenty of other stories.
But they want us to think that there’s no danger of Arab Muslims with bad intentions coming over from Mexico, so they try to hush stories like this. And they’re successful. Did you hear about this story before reading it here?:
McALLEN, TX — A Sullivan City man accused of smuggling three Iraqis into the United States is set to appear for a detention hearing tomorrow.
Prosecutors allege 28-year-old Juan De Dios Martinez Vela sneaked the men across the Rio Grande as part of a smuggling network with links to the Middle East.
U.S. Border Patrol agents discovered the men inside Martinez’s pickup truck when he was stopped March 12 north of Los Ebanos in Hidalgo County. . . .
According to the criminal complaint filed in the case, the men told agents that they had each paid $20,000 to an Iraqi smuggler to coordinate their trip to the United States.
The men remained in the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
More:
Federal court documents show that Border Patrol arrested Juan de Dios Martinez-Vela during a March 12 incident in the Hidalgo County community of Los Ebanos.
A criminal complaint shows that a Border Patrol agent saw several subjects crossing the Rio Grande and getting into a vehicle.
Another Border Patrol agent posted off Military and El Faro Roads stopped a pick up truck carrying three passengers in the back.
The driver was a identified as Martinez-Vela, a 28-year-old American citizen.
The passengers did not speak English or Spanish and were later identified as:
* Wshyar Mohammed-Salih
* Majeed Aziz-Beirut
* Awat Mahmood-Qadir
Border Patrol agents learned all three men were from Iraq and had paid $20,000 to be smuggled into the United States.
The three Iraqi men told Border Patrol agents that they made their smuggling arrangements in Iraq with a man in Iraq, who works for a smuggler named “Murat”. [DS: An obviously Arabic name.]
Court records do not indicate if Martinez-Vela works for or with “Murat” but show Martinez-Vela faces human smuggling charges. . . .
Court records do not show why the Iraqi immigrants crossed illegally into the United States but many other immigrants from Iraq and Lebanon caught in the Rio Grande Valley have claimed to be Christians or war refugees seeking asylum.
Yes, and they’re often lying. And, as I’ve repeatedly noted on this site, we have no way to determine who they really are and what their religion is, nor do we make an effort.
But look at the names. Mohammed-Salih and Mahmood-Qadir are Islamic surnames. Period.
Read the federal criminal complaint against Juan De Dios Martinez Vela.
Debbie, that’s just one case where they have been caught. Its quite possible there could be – and are – Al Qaeda Hezbollah/Hamas sleeper agents already in this country. Just waiting for the “right time” to be activated. Almost a decade after 9/11, America learned nothing and forgot everything.
Pray. Hard.
