Borders

Oliver North comments on a new staff report prepared by the House Committee on Homeland Security. The report is titled "A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border."

Ollie notes that the recently released report tells us a story that many of us suspected and worried about. Our unprotected border is a sieve for radical Islamic terrorists entering into the United States. 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. There's more:

-- In June 2006, seven Iraqis were caught in Brownsville, Texas;

-- In August, an Afghani man was caught crossing the Rio Grande into Texas;

-- Mueller has testified that a Hezbollah cell had been "dismantled" after officials discovered 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. Read Colonel North's column here.
