Syrians at our Southern Border

Why bother going out of the way to bring the Syrian refugees here?  They're already making their way here via our porous southern border.  We hear Trump go on and on about how lax the security is at our southern border and although I don't always agree with his bombastic attitude he is definitely right on this one.  It's no secret that we basically do not have a border between us and Mexico and Mexico with do nothing to stop illegal immigrants from using their country as a transportation hub to get to America.

According to a recent post on Brietbart,

Two federal agents operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are claiming that eight Syrian illegal aliens attempted to enter Texas from Mexico in the Laredo Sector. The federal agents spoke with Breitbart Texas on the condition of anonymity, however, a local president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) confirmed that Laredo Border Patrol agents have been officially contacting the organization with concerns over reports from other federal agents about Syrians illegally entering the country in the Laredo Sector. The reports have caused a stir among the sector’s Border Patrol agents.

The sources claimed that eight Syrians were apprehended on Monday, November 16, 2015. According to the sources, the Syrians were in two separate “family units” and were apprehended at the Juarez Lincoln Bridge in Laredo, Texas, also known officially as Port of Entry 1.

Of course they were apprehended in two separate “family units”!  They had to be apprehended in such a manner as to continue to tug on the heartstrings of Americans that individuals crossing our southern border are just women and children looking for a better life.  How dare we even consider restricting not letting this poor huddled masses yearning to be free into our great nation.  This is the card liberals play on conservatives who actually stand for the rule of law and realize the possible threat that unfettered immigration into this country poses to every single American citizen.  Couple that with the threat faced with ISIS and the importance of screening every single individual that enters this country is compounded tenfold.

As if this more recent incident isn’t enough rewind back to September and Brietbart reported on another incident regarding Syrian migrants attempting to cross the southern border.

According to Brietbart back in September,

Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested 27-year-old Walaa Alrehawi and her brother-in-law 46-year-old Mohammad Ziad Alzalam last week in the border city of Hidalgo.

On Monday, the two went before U.S. Magistrate Judge Dorina Ramos, who read them their rights and ordered they be held without bond pending a detention hearing later this week.

Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas revealed that Ziad travelled to Beirut, Lebanon, to pick up Alrehawi who has been identified as his sister-in-law. She allegedly used the passport belonging to Ziad’s wife to fly to Frankfurt, Germany. From there, the two flew to the Mexican resort town of Cancun. The duo eventually made their way to the Mexican city of Reynosa and subsequently tried to enter the United States through Hidalgo.

In this incident we see two individuals who attempt to use fake passports to gain entrance into the United States.  This is the same type of scenario that played out in Paris when the islamists, one of which was tied to the Syrian refugee population, who allegedly arrived in France using a fake passport.

I know many are running around crying about how ignorant it is for us to turn away anyone who may want to come here.  There are a few things that one must take into consideration though before rushing to such judgement.  Given the aforementioned events that have unfolded not only in Paris but with regards to Syrians attempting to enter the United States illegally, it is essential we remain skeptical.  Additionally, our vetting process is under great scrutiny from all levels of government including the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies. Lastly, do we really have the resources at this point to take care of upwards of 80,000 more people in this country?  We cannot even take care of our veterans and we want to import more people who will inevitably be a burden to the already overloaded welfare system.

Holding Illegal Immigrant Children for Ransom

The border crisis has been taking place now for months and the general public and news media have been well aware of the situation for roughly two months. While this is the case,  we have yet to see any real resolution or even concrete ideas of how to resolve the problem.  It would appear there is something more evil,  something more nefarious going on here and with the likes of Obama and Reid in charge those accusations aren't all that far fetched!

These accusations were brought to the forefront as Senator Ted Cruz sat down to speak with Chris Wallace, 

“I’ll tell you who is holding these kids ransom: It’s Harry Reid and the president,” Cruz said. “Because their view is: Don’t do anything to fix the problem.”

This makes perfect sense considering the border crisis has since become a humanitarian crisis as we are seeing children being treated like rats. These children are tossed into cages and carted around the country like pawns in some sort of game. The president even visited Texas on a recent fund raising trip and simply could not find the time to go anywhere near the border to survey the crisis he is in large part responsible for.

At this point one can only hope that the American people are beginning to wake up to what is going on as we are seeing these illegal immigrants to being transported all over the country. They are being placed in cities and towns without first notifying residents. In many instances even local govt and local law enforcement aren't even aware these illegals are being housed in their town. We can only hope people wake up before it's too late!!

Mexican Chopper Fires on Border Patrol While Sgt. Tahmooressi Rots

As I'm sure you are aware at this point, there was an incident on our southern border with Mexico today.  This incident trumps any of the recent incidents that have been occurring for weeks now where we have been continuously invaded by "young illegal immigrant children".  That's an entirely different story for another time.  What happened today amounts to an act of war and one that demands some sort of retaliation or at least a statement from the commander in chief.  Today our own border patrol agents were fired upon by a Mexican military chopper that crossed into United States air space.


This is by all means an act of war!  When a foreign country enters our own air space and fires on our own military personnel that is considered an act of aggression and demands a response of one form or another. And from multiple accounts this isn't the first time this has occurred as agents and even platoons of Mexican military officials have crossed our border and fired upon our border agents. Each and every time this has occurred we have simply released these individuals with their equipment and weapons and sent them on their merry way back across the border.



Let me ask you, what would happen if one of or a group of our military personnel happened to cross into Mexican territory and fire upon a Mexican military officer?  Oh wait, one of our soldiers did accidentally cross into Mexican territory, and without even firing a shot he was captured and taken into custody.  It has now been nearly three months that he has been held captive in a maximum security prison deep inside Mexico with no sign of him being released any time soon.



The time has come that our president and government grow a set of balls and stand up against not only the influx of illegal immigrants crossing our border but the literal invasion and firing upon our own border patrol agents. Has this country become so soft that we will not stand up against the Mexican government when our own men and women are fired upon? We need to demand that our Marine Sgt. Tahmooressi be released immediately and the next time a Mexican official so much as sets foot across that border without authorization he be detained indefinitely in Guantanamo Bay as an enemy combatant.

Building a Border Fence is Now Deemed Racist!!

We have seen just about everything from the left when it comes to making excuses to avoid building a fence at the southern border with Mexico.  The latest in the long line of excuses comes from Judge Beryl Howell, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by President Obama in 2010. He agreed that the public interest is significant with regards to the possible impact building a fence may have on "lower income minority communities." These are the same communities that are comprised mainly of the illegal aliens.  We have a judicial system backing the radical left as they seek to provide special treatment to people who aren't even here legally!

Have we really come to a point in which we are more concerned with the rights of illegal aliens over those of American citizens?  As I have said before, we are no longer citizens in this country we are merely residents in a land with disappearing borders.  What many fail to see is that this is part of a bigger plan and plays right into Obama and the left’s Alinsky playbook. They are stopping at nothing to overrun this country with illegals in an attempt to blur the line between citizen and non-citizen.

The Islamic Caliphate Is Coming

What exactly is the Islamic Caliphate? And is this Islamic Caliphate an impending threat to the United States?

Fist off we must understand what exactly a caliphate is. According to Wikipedia a caliphate is, "A caliphate (from the Arabic: خلافة‎ khilāfa, meaning "succession") is an Islamic state led by a supreme religious and political leader known as a caliph – i.e. "successor" – to Muhammad and the other prophets of Islam. So we can come to the conclusion that a caliphate has to do with the Muslim religion.  The idea of a caliphate actually dates back to as early as A.D. 632.  The only real aspect of the Muslim Caliphate that we need to truly be concerned with is the one currently being carried out by the radical Muslims of the group known as Al Qaeda. 

The group known as Al Qaeda has a clearly stated goal and that is to re-institute the Muslim Caliphate.  In 2005 this group explained that they were going to move forward with "phase five" which is to move forward with implementing the Islamic state. It is believed that if this caliphate is established that Egypt would be a rallying point in leading their jihad against the west including the Jewish State and the United States. 

Now that we understand what a caliphate is and what the intentions are of Al Qaeda, one might wonder how exactly they intend on doing this.  With the current state of affairs throughout the middle east it is becoming quite clear as events are beginning to unfold leading to the destruction of Iraq. As Al Qaeda funded groups make there way towards Baghdad, the fall of Iraq back into radical Muslim hands is becoming a harsh reality.  

This would be a huge step into pushing forward with their Muslim Caliphate. But the truly scary aspect of this scenario is the actions of our president here at home.  Just recently he released five high level terrorists back into the middle east.  Not more than a few weeks after their return we are seeing major unrest throughout countries he claimed we left with resources for them to defend themselves.  Those same resources such as tanks, Humvee's, and even fighter jets are now at risk of falling into the hands of the terrorists. 

Not only do we have to deal with the unrest a half a world away, we have major unrest at our own southern border.  We have recently seen an influx of illegal immigrant children into the states of Texas and California. This has put a huge strain on our border patrol officers and greatly inhibited their ability to actually patrol the border.  What is even more disturbing about this is the fact that the border is now more open than it has ever been which leaves the door wide open to terrorists should they decide to enter the country.
