Islamic terrorists from Mexico infiltrating U.S. for next attack

Hezbollah cells active in Mexico, are sneaking into the US.

Terrorists are using Mexico as a staging area and entry point into the US for terrorist attacks. Representative Sue Myrick (R - NC) is asking the Obama administration to investigate the apparent problem. 

Legions of Hezbollah paramilitary terrorists are infiltrating the US via Mexico.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Terrorists with ties to Hezbollah and Iran are infiltrating Lebanese communities in Mexico, hoping to blend into the population there. Teaming up with the all-too powerful drug cartels, terrorists are having themselves smuggled into the US in exchange for money and weapons which fuel cartel violence in Mexico. 
The ties are blatant. Earlier this year, an Iranian operative was arrested for plotting to assassinate a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Washington. The would-be killer had hired Mexican cartel assassins to assist him. He was only one of several people who have been arrested both in the US and Mexico with ties to Iran and Hezbollah. 

Despite obvious connections like these, Myrick says the Department of Homeland Security still refuses to properly investigate the matter. 

That Hezbollah is working to establish secret bases of support in Mexico and South America is no secret. In 2010, the Tucson Police Department even issued a brief on the groups and the threat they pose to local security. 

Mexican drug cartels are routinely busted with high-powered weapons including assault rifles and rocket launchers that have passed through the Middle East. The weapons are coming from somewhere, and that somewhere appears to be Lebanon and Iran. 

In 2009, a Mexican newspaper, "The Diario de Quintnna Roo" even published a report that Hezbollah cells were using drug trafficking routes to reach the US. 

What this means is that terrorists are staging themselves in Mexico, pairing with the cartels, and in exchange for guns and money, are being smuggled into the US with drug shipments. 

While the drugs are dangerous and should also be stopped, they are consumed by choice and primarily harm users. However, the terrorists that are hitching rides with the shipments are a danger to all because they attack indiscriminately. 

Perhaps most dangerous of all is the reluctance of the Department of Homeland Security to investigate the matter fully and to strengthen our borders. 

Unfortunately, border security is a hot-button campaign issue and neither candidate can afford to alienate voters who are opposed to increased border enforcement. Many of those voters see border enforcement as a race-based issue and one that can directly affect the lives of their loved ones.

Many voters do not realize that the issue of border security is also a matter of national security and that the next successful terrorist attack on American soil may very well have a Mexican connection. If that happens, there's no telling how the government and the citizens of the US may react.

    Why are our elected officials allowing our nation to be held hostage by a third world country? It sickens me to know that we've fought mighty nations with powerful armies, and defeated them. Now, those in charge seem to have no desire to proctect and defend. They have waved the white flag of surrender to third world nations, primarily Mexico, who urge their people to break our laws. I will never forget May 20, 2010, when Mexican President Calderon stood before Congress and lectured us on our immigration policy. My blood boiled when he got a standing ovation from the Democrats, yet the Republicans were just as bad as they gave tacit approval rather than walking out as they should have. We haven't had a true patriot in the White House or a statesman in this country since Dwight Eisenhower who demand that illegal aliens leave and they did. Since then we've pandered and bowed to millions of criminals whose intent is to turn this once-great country into the mess they left.

    Think of the implications of this story. Our current administration refuses to address the problem because they don't want to offend the Hispanaic community for fear they'll lose votes. The immigrants from Mexico consider themselves as Mexicans but they are US citizens and they are now a significant force in determining when and if we will defend ourselves from foreign terrorists. We are literally surrendering the future of this country to those who do not like us, all in the pursuit of political power. With the rapid demographic shifts now underway it may not be long before reversing this trend will not be possible. This is clearly an example of .....be careful what you wish for.

    For non-commercial, adult use, marijuana should be legalized and treated like tobacco. In Canada, people can grow tobacco for personal use. And non-commercial distribution (e.g., to chemo and AIDS patients, for anti-emetic use) should continue. I don't smoke pot, and can't stand the smell, but what adults do is their business, as long as they are not driving under the influence. Keep the laws against trafficking and strengthen punishments for impaired drivers. Non-compliance with marijuana laws is such a problem that police and other law enforcement resources would be better redeployed elsewhere.

    The role of business lobbies in promoting open-door immigration is a big part of the problem. The Chamber of Commerce types love cheap labour, and increased demand for housing and commodities, and gladly sell their country's security for profits. As consumers and voters, people have to start leaning on business interests and politicians who advocate liberalized immigration policies.

    Seal the border! Then adopt immigration reform. The U.S. won't be able to help anyone if Hezbollah launches an attack from within our homeland.

    And we should welcome illegal immigrants with open arms why? Time to crack down on the border.

    The cartels make most of their money selling marijuana in the U.S. The longer we ban stores from undercutting cartel prices and eliminating this income, the MORE we encourage terror attacks against us. For the sake of our security, our children and our way of life, we have to tell our legislators to legalize marijuana like wine!
