"Al-Qaeda's Illegal Immigration Threat"
FPM has a roundup. It mentions Adm. James Loy's testimony, Rep. Solomon Ortiz' efforts, loose nukes, possible ties between gangs and terrorists, the Minuteman project, Rep. James Sensenbrenner's efforts, and these bits I wasn't familiar with:
...A bill has been introduced in Texas legislature to allow fingerprinting at hospitals in an effort to stop terrorism. The legislation’s intent is to prevent terrorists from entering the United States untracked, said State Rep. Armando "Mando" Martinez, D-Weslaco, the bill's author. Not surprisingly, self-declared "civil rights groups" opposed the bill on the grounds it violates the illegals' "freedoms" and may discourage people from seeking medical care.
Martinez argues, however, that a recent explosion in Mexico illustrated how terrorists might fake injury as a guise to enter the U.S, because customs officers don’t ask questions of someone crossing the border to seek medical care. Martinez asked, "What is to prevent a terrorist from staging a possible bombing or explosion, acting like they’re injured...and once they’re in a room and everybody walks out, and they can just get up and walk out AMA (against medical advice)?"
Homeland Security officials have warned that bankrolled terrorists can traverse the border by paying professional smugglers. A Juarez television station recently reported a suspected terrorist paid a taxi driver $400 to take him to Juarez, and that the driver left the man at the Santa Fe, New Mexico, bridge...

The not-so-subtle subtext of the ideology that now calls itself "multiculturalism" is that the civilization created by the White man is evil and must be destroyed. This is something the neocons demonstrated in one book after another during the nineties. Unfortunately they tired of this noble pursuit and exchanged it for the ignoble pursuit of empire through neo-Wilsonian internationalism. They gave up prematurely, for it is clear that the Culture War is far from won.

Illegal aliens don't have any right to freedom for aggression, and that is what it would be to just show up at the border demanding to be let in for free medical treatment. There is aggression on the net taxpayer, since it has to be paid for. Some foreigner begging at the border, who is a victim of disease or some lesion, is not therefore innocent of aggression, or the intent to commit it. That terrorists can exploit such a maudlin indulgence of Mexican helplessness and beggary, shows the traitorous character of such oneway compassion. If it were real, there would also be compassion for the net taxpayer, and for the citizen who may be pushed back in the line for treatment. Onesided compassion is a cover for something much worse which dare not say in explicit terms, what it wants. There is a passion for the destruction of civilization, which is a product of the governments propaganda schools being based on aggression.
