Almost nine years after terrorists murdered 2,751 people on Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. is still facing a major threat as hundreds of illegal aliens from countries known to support and sponsor terrorism sneak across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Thousands of illegal aliens apprehended along the 2,000 mile border stretching through California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas aren't even from Mexico. The U.S. Border Patrol calls them "Other Than Mexicans," or OTMs, and many are citizens of countries that are sponsors of terrorism.
A 2006 congressional report on border threats, titled "A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border" and prepared by the House Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Investigations, indicated that 1.2 million illegal aliens were apprehended in 2005 alone, and 165,000 of those were from countries other than Mexico. Approximately 650 were from "special interest countries," or nations the Border Patrol defines as "designated by the intelligence community as countries that could export individuals that could bring harm to our country in the way of terrorism."
Atlanta's WSB-TV2 aired a segment on U.S. border security after it obtained records from a federal detention center near Phoenix, Ariz., and found current listings for illegal aliens from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan and Yemen."We have left the back door to the United States open," former Rep. J.D. Hayworth told the station.
"We have to understand that there are definitely people who mean to do us harm who have crossed that border."
WSB-TV 2 published a population breakdown from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement staging facility in Florence, Ariz., dated April 15, 2010, which includes detainees from as far away as Afghanistan, Armenia, Bosnia, Egypt, Ghana, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kenya, Morocco, Pakistan, Sudan, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Botswana, Turkey and many other countries.

camera man should have took a time out and called the border patrol
Why, 10:56?
That's the point-- nothing's being done.
Kinda like the police officers that risk their lives to arrest and charge people, only to see them let go by the courts. They get tired of it after a while.
One other photo shows a section of the New Mexico/Mexico border area-- nothing but a strand of barbed wire.
One illegal being held in Seattle right now for rape has been deported NINE times for varoius crimes.
Border security is a joke right now.
The country is probably full of terrorists already, just waiting for the 'big event' to begin.
Lock and load.
OMG! We would be better off bringing our troops home and putting them at the border instead! The irony of the war on terror is the troops were supposed to go to the home of the enemy to fight them abroad to keep them from coming here and to keep them from having to fight them on our own soil! What a joke! If I were in the military I would be outraged! We are supposed to have the greatest military in the world but w/our own back door open to the enemy and the Hispanic leaches, we are defeating the whole purpose by having our own troops deployed! Pretty soon our country is going to look just like the muslim countries like that photo that was going around the internet when Obama got elected w/the U.S. cities having those domes on top like the mosques! I'll bet Obama knows exactly what he is doing!
