“More Pakistanis and Afghans (including 4 know Islamic State operatives) on the terror watch carrying American passports entered the United States in October than in the prior 12 month period. These potential jihadists are being transported on remote farm roads instead of interstates and being stashed in Acala, Texas, a ghost town outside of El Paso within easy access of a state highway.Judicial Watch (JW) reports the existence of an ISIS camp within a few miles from El Paso and another camp within proximity of Deming and Columbus, New Mexico.Reportedly, Texas Congressman (Beto O’Rourke) contacted local FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and Border Patrol officers in an effort to identify and possibly intimidate sources that may have been used by JW to break the story of the nearby ISIS camps.There is growing cooperation at our southern border between organized crime and terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, to finance terrorism, launder money and smuggle people and drugs into the U.S.See the report below from New York Analysis of Policy and Government. ”
More Pakistanis and Afghans, including those of military age, carrying U.S. passports, and on the terror watch list illegally entered the United States in the first month of this fiscal year (October) than in all of FY2015 (September 2014 to October 2015), According to a San Diego Reader report.
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-California) in a recent letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, stated:
“It is routinely said that there is no ‘specific and credible information about an attack on the homeland.’ Despite this assertion, the Southern land border remains vulnerable to intrusion and exists as a point of vulnerability. And evidently there are criminal organizations and individuals with the networks and the knowhow to facilitate illegal entry into the United States without regard for one’s intentions or status on a terror watch list. The detention of two Pakistani nationals underscores the fact that any serious effort to secure our homeland must include effective border security and immigration enforcement.”
According to the San Diego Reader, “Muhammad Azeem and Muktar Ahmad, both in their 20s, surrendered to U.S. Border Patrol agents in September, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One was listed on the Terrorist Screening Database for ‘associations with a known or suspected terrorist. The other was a positive match for derogatory information in an alternative database,’ according to Hunter’s letter. Azeem and Ahmad are among dozens of men – described by Border Patrol agents as “military age and carrying U.S. cash” who began entering the U.S. through a Tijuana-based human-smuggling pipeline in September.”
