Eight Syrians caught at Texas border in Laredo

Nov 18, 2015 9:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Why would Syrians be trying to enter illegally when Obama is breaking down every restraint in order to get them in legally? Only if they’re up to some nefarious purpose.

Border protection

“EXCLUSIVE — REPORT: 8 Syrians Caught at Texas Border in Laredo,” by Brandon Darby and Ildefonso Ortiz, Breitbart, November 18, 2015:

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.

Border Patrol agent and NBPC Local 2455 President Hector Garza told Breitbart Texas, “Border Patrol agents who we represent have been contacting our organization to voice concerns about reports from other agents that Syrians crossed the U.S. border from Mexico in the Laredo Sector. Our agents have heard about Syrians being apprehended in the area from other federal agents.” Agent Garza added, “At this time, I cannot confirm or deny that Syrians have crossed, for security reasons.”

Agent Garza further stated that in matters as sensitive as Syrians crossing the border from Mexico, it would be highly unlikely that federal agencies would publicize it or inform a broad group of law enforcement. He did say that Local 2455 is taking the reports seriously and that they “will be issuing an officer safety bulletin advising Border Patrol agents to exercise extra precautions as they patrol the border.”

Breitbart Texas can confirm that a Syrian did attempt to enter the U.S. illegally through Texas in late September. The Syrian was caught using a passport that belonged to someone else and U.S. authorities decided against prosecuting anyone involved due to “circumstances.”

        Looks like Trump is right about building a wall to keep banditos and terrorists out of our country. It is despicable that Democrats oppose securing our border and deporting illegal alien criminals. We need to reform our immigration system the Trump or Cruz way!

      Texas border security will have an easier time from now on as Canada’s new Prime Minister Trudeau has advised the Mexican President that travellers from Mexico won’t need visas anymore. Just a passport I guess. All it takes is a simple internet search to get Syrian one. Muslim terrorists can now simply get on a plane and fly direct, courtesy of Canada’s PM Selfie. Combined with Selfie’s guarantee not to deport terrorists, Canada can now be referred to as Liberal controlled Canadastan.

    As it is with schools of fish, so it is with jihadist and their planned acts of jihad: mere mortal man and his best training, skills, and efforts, can, may catch/prevent some, he will never catch/prevent all.

    So these illegals got past the LE in Honduras, but were caught in Laredo. How many have gotten past Honduran authorities and Border Patrol, too? There is no way to know just how many, and how many of those who made it have found their weapons of terror?

    My question is what our government is going to do with them? Most likely release them here in America. You know it would be cruel and unusual to send them back to Syria. It is a win-win for all Syrians entering America.

      Jihad murders go through the border, and right to the nearest sanctuary city where they will plan their attacks.

      And just what does Uncle Habib have? The cutest looking son? Or goats?

        Uncle Habib has a secret, extra-spicy kebab sauce recipe that turns anyone into a biological weapon.

    As a Christian who sometimes flows in a prophetic gifting, I started posting as long as 10 years ago the statement “welcome to world war three”. NOW—I’m saying its martial law and very soon by the Muslim in the White House working thru Agenda 21 and on to Agenda 2030 facilitated by the next “911” event. It could be by “false-flag” or by the “invited”. Mark my words, there will be no election in 2016!

          One of the major problems I have with this idea is that there is no Jewish temple on the mount, no peace agreement with Israel, no one world government and no one world religion.

          This is just a wake-up call. The world hasn’t seen anything yet. Let your imagination run wild on how horrible it could get and then double or triple it.
          Tears will fall like rain and the wailing of the people shall never stop until Jesus Christ comes again to reign on this Earth.

      What in the world does “Flows in a prophetic gifting” mean? Like a fortune teller?

      No one can tell the future. We can all make educated guesses as to the situation and what might occur as a result. However, “Prophetic giftings” are just mumbo jumbo.

      It doesn’t take a lot of intelligence or fortune telling to know that we are at war with Islam and have been since Jimmy Carter allowed the Iranians to take over our embassy and hold our citizens hostage. Then he facilitated the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Doesn’t take any special talent to know that.

        Carolyne, you said, “No one can tell the future. We can all make educated guesses as to the situation and what might occur as a result. However, “Prophetic giftings” are just mumbo jumbo.”

    We need to finish off ISIS in a hurry…not in years.

    Syria needs stability so the refugees can go back home and start over.

    They belong in Syria, rather than Europe or America.

    Kudos to the Border Patrol for getting these eight guys.

    In our haste to heap criticism on everything related to the Obama administration (I am just as guilty as anyone else), we often forget that the rank-and-file law enforcement officers are still professionals who are working very hard, under extremely restrictive rules of engagement. Once in a while, as in this example, they manage to get a win, despite being hamstrung by the administration.

    I would however be remiss if I allowed my respect for the Border Patrol agents to prevent me from asking: “They caught these eight, but how many others made it through?”

      Spot-on S.F.T. Very well said.

    • Carolyne says

      Nov 19, 2015 at 9:24 am

      Good question. And note the last sentence in the article. “No one was prosecuted.” I don’t blame the Border Patrol. I blame Hussein Obama for issuing such orders.

    To control ISIS and radical Islam, we must:
    1) Ban Islam from the US.
    2) Tear down all mosques.
    3) If you want to continue to be a Muslim, then you must leave this country and go to a country where Islam is allowed. If you won’t leave, then you will be deported.
    4) Enforce no nukes in Iran, North Korea, and any country not supposed to have nukes according to the non-proliferation treaty of decades ago. Inspections will be done by the US, not the UN.
