On June 3rd Sara Carter and the Washington Times reported, “Al-Qaeda Eyes Anthrax Attack On U.S from Mexico.” The story is based on an Al-Qaeda recruitment video first broadcast back in February on Al Jazeera. In it, Kuwaiti dissident Abdullah al-Nafisi tells a roomful of people that Al-Qaeda is currently casing the U.S. border with Mexico to see how they could smuggle weapons through border tunnels and into the U.S. (Relax fellas, you don’t need to crawl through tunnels. I can show you whole unguarded roads that go across the river and into the U.S. … unless you really like crawling.)

Border Ranchers and Texas Law Enforcement have been warning of such a threat for years. For a long while now, ranchers and sheriffs have been reporting incidents of Middle Eastern human smuggling. For some Texas ranchers, stumbling upon Somalis, Eritreans, Bangladeshis or Iraqis is no longer surprising. Zapata County Sheriff Sigfried Gonzales had to reach out to the Israeli Mossad in order to identify Jihadist mercenary patches that were sewn into the inside of clothing recovered in the Texas brush.
I am still unclear as to why these warnings have gone unheeded until they were broadcast by Al Jazeera. Perhaps a rogue Kuwaiti cleric is simply more palpable and more credible to the mainstream media than American citizens and American law enforcement officials.
Americans seem surprised that the same guys smart enough to hijack four jets and use them as ballistic missiles are also broadcasting how their fighters could bring backpacks of anthrax through border tunnels into this country.
The American people need to know that global entrepreneurs and traffickers around the planet have been profiting from our security breaches for some time.
Not too long ago, a Texas rancher friend of mine came across two Bangladeshis. One fled back into the brush, the other gave up. He was done. He’d had enough. While they waited for almost two hours for Border Patrol to arrive, the Bangladeshi national told his story in perfect Oxford English.
He had gone to university in Bangladesh. His father paid the cartel smugglers $43,000. The young man was taken to Pakistan where he was flown to Russia. In Russia he boarded a flight with three hundred other illegal aliens bound for Guatemala. They were kept in Guatemala for a few months while they learned Spanish and were immersed in the culture. The cartel then brought them up through Mexico and into Texas where this Bangladeshi national was left to his own devices.
After stumbling around the South Texas brush for three days, he was ready to go home, but not until he had thoroughly voiced his disappointment with the cartel’s management. This was not the treatment he was expecting when his father forked over the $43,000.
Mexican Drug Cartels + Arab Black Marketeers + Russian Logisticians = ?
This is a global pipeline that can and will move whatever makes profit into the United States.
Please don’t worry that middle Eastern men of fighting age might someday sneak across our border. They’re already here.
We live in a world where 1 billion people a night go to bed without clean drinking water.
We live in a world where sworn enemies have vowed to take this country down.
We live in a country that leaves her back door wide open.
