"FBI warns of 'special interest' aliens"

FBI Director Robert Mueller confirmed before Congress today what has long been known: that aliens from terrorist-sponsoring countries have come over the Mexican border. Story: "FBI warns of 'special interest' aliens"

Note that he drew the distinction between terrorists and those just from countries that sponsor terrorism; he said he wasn't aware of any terrorists infiltrating the U.S. via our border. He also discussed terrorists trying to pose as Mexicans in order to blend in. That was also discussed here months ago.

He made these statements under questioning from U.S. Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas).

UPDATE: On their evening broadcasts, ABC/NBC/CBS all had a segment on Mueller's testimony. However, all three highlighted his testimony about those on the terrorism watchlist being able to buy guns. And, all three had similar short interviews from Wayne LaPierre. Only CBS mentioned the contents of this post. I guess ABC and NBC have different priorities.
