Since 9-11-01, Americans living along the U.S.-Mexican border have been warning that our porous frontier is a back door for terrorist entry into this country. Local, state and federal law enforcement officers, overwhelmed by the flow of human traffic across the border, have acknowledged the threat — which has been widely ignored by the mainstream media and "official" Washington. Last year, in little-noticed congressional testimony, FBI director Robert Mueller, Jr. revealed that, "individuals from countries with known al Qaeda connections have attempted to enter the United States illegally using alien smuggling rings and assuming Hispanic appearances." Now, thanks to the investigative reporting of FOX News correspondent William LaJeunesse, the monarchs of the media and the potentates on the Potomac can no longer ignore reality. Mr. LaJeunesse took the time to carefully digest a new staff report prepared by the House Committee on Homeland Security. It ought to be required reading for every reporter and official in Washington, D.C. Titled, "A Line in the Sand — Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border," the just-released report confirms what many have long suspected: our border is a sieve, not a barrier, for radical Islamic terrorists transiting into the United States. The Investigations Subcommittee charges that from September 11, 2001, to the present, hundreds of illegal aliens from countries, "such as Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Pakistan,...and Afghanistan" were apprehended crossing into the United States. But that's not all the bad news. Investigators also found: • In June 2006, seven Iraqis were caught in Brownsville, TX • In August, an Afghan man was caught crossing the Rio Grande into Texas • FBI Director Mueller, Jr. has testified that a Hezbollah cell had been "dismantled" after discovering that the terror organization was smuggling operatives across the U.S. -Mexico border to carry out terror attacks inside the United States. • Individuals from countries with known al Qaeda connections have changed their Islamic surnames and adopted false Hispanic identities in order to escape detection and blend into American society. • Radical Islamic groups that support Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamiya Al Gamat are all active in Latin America. All that is bad enough, but the bombshell — as reported by Mr. LaJeunesse and confirmed in the congressional report — is the role being played by Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. It's well known that the oil-rich Marxist in Caracas has been busy spreading his anti-American "Bolivarian Revolution" throughout our southern hemisphere. But this investigation now concludes that Mr. Chavez' nefarious deeds go well beyond a weapons-buying spree and efforts to manipulate elections in Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua. According to the congressional report, "Venezuela is providing support-including identity documents — that could prove useful to radical Islamic groups. The Venezuelan government has issued thousands of cédulas, the equivalent of Social Security cards, to people from places such as Cuba, Colombia, and Middle Eastern nations that host foreign terrorist organizations." These documents can be used to obtain Venezuelan passports and American visas, which in turn allow the holder to elude immigration checks and enter the United States. ... foxnews.com
