BELO ALERT FOR IRAQI CHEM AGENTS ON MEXICAN BORDER

Fox News Channel is reporting information from their sister network Sky News that U.S. and Mexican officials are currently searching for six Iraqis with "toxic chemicals" in the Mexican border area. Chemicals are said to be either radiological or biological due to the reported need for temperature control.

Yes, I know, we Americans are idiots for not closing that border. WorldNetDaily should be commended for leaving bloggers in the dust on this topic and trying to wake everybody else up.

Of more concern, says a spokeswoman for Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., are Iraqi nationals burrowing into the U.S. from Mexico.

"The congressman is deeply concerned about the number of people coming across the border illegally who are of Iraqi descent," said Tancredo aide Lara Kennedy in a WorldNetDaily interview. "That is alarming because, unlike those with green cards or visas, we don't know exactly what their intentions are, because we can't keep track of them."

She says the Iraqi nationals were discovered with other OTM – Other Than Mexican – illegal aliens in Border Patrol sweeps near the Sierra Vista, Ariz., border with Mexico, an area south of Tucson.

Tancredo, chairman of Congress' Immigration Reform Caucus, found out about the Iraqis during a recent fact-finding mission with other caucus members to the porous border stretch. Concerned about possible terrorism, he wants troops patrolling the border.

A month after the Sept. 11 attacks, Iraqi-born smuggler George Tajirian pleaded guilty to forging an alliance with a corrupt Mexican immigration officer, Angel Molina Paramo, to smuggle Iraqi, Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian, Yemeni and other illegal aliens through Mexico and into the U.S.

If we bloggers would have only spent time on more serious topics like this instead of Trent Lott's mouth. Not that we can't cover other topics like "Trent" Daschle's mouth during wartime, etc, but I'd rather remain alive in order to choose what else to blog about after that. The Mexican border issue is a deadly bipartisan political failure, and only a grassroots movement will change that. Unfortunately, we all need to get over political correctness and self-censorship first. The accepted policy of not cutting off illegal aliens is a cynical attempt by both parties to purchase immigrant votes -- by risking the death of all Americans.

Meanwhile, we have another BELO alert for this guy:

A Saudi man being sought by the FBI because he may be plotting terrorist attacks against U.S. targets has been linked to Jose Padilla, an American citizen charged with plotting to detonate a radiological "dirty bomb" in the United States.

The FBI on Thursday asked law enforcement agencies and the public to be on the lookout for Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, 27, who senior law enforcement officials said has received flight training and possesses a Florida driver's license.
