Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Texas: Muslims from Syria caught sneaking across the border from Mexico

May 11, 2018 7:12 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector are sounding the alarm after they recently apprehended two Syrian nationals who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into South Texas. The agents say the arrest of the Syrians confirms there is a human smuggling pipeline from countries with connections to terrorism into the U.S.

This is not a new problem. In November 2015, Jihad Watch reported that eight Syrians were caught at the Texas border in Laredo. U.S. Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza stated:

If the cartel-connected smugglers can bring people with good intentions across the border, they can also bring people with bad intentions.

While the so-called “far right” continues to suffer blame for trying to warn Westerners about the global jihad, those who downplay or deny the jihad threat will surely attribute good intentions to these Syrians, as they did in blindly welcoming in anyone and everyone, including jihadists and Islamic State infiltrators, into Europe.

Despite the relentless and ruthless criticism that Trump has received for prioritizing border control, the dangers to North America from illegal immigration continue to mount. Already, about 400 illegals a day are expected to pour into Canada at the Quebec border this summer; they will be resettled in major cities like Toronto.

“Agents Sound Alarm on Syrians Caught Sneaking Across Texas Border,” by Bob Price, Breitbart, May 10, 2018:

Border Patrol agents in the Laredo Sector are sounding the alarm after they recently apprehended two Syrian nationals who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into South Texas. The agents say the arrest of the Syrians confirms there is a human smuggling pipeline from countries with connections to terrorism into the U.S.

“We don’t know the intentions of the two Syrians we caught sneaking across the border into Texas,” U.S. Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza told Breitbart Texas in his capacity as president of the National Border Patrol Council 2455. “What we do know is that if the cartel-connected smugglers can bring people with good intentions across the border, they can also bring people with bad intentions.”

The two Syrian nationals apprehended on May 7, crossed the border in the same part of Laredo as nearly 230 Bangladeshi nationals have been apprehended. Garza explained that all drug and human smuggling in this area is controlled by the Los Zetas cartel.

“Laredo is a prime target for these ruthless smugglers because of our sector’s shortage of manpower and the lack of a physical barrier,” Garza explained in an interview with Breitbart Texas on Thursday. “We have 170 miles of river border with Mexico. Not one mile of that border has a physical barrier. We are wide open for these drug and human smugglers.”…..

    Proof that Texas Chili & Sweet Tea is worth the trip…or possibly it’s the Food Stamps, EBT Cards, SNAP, Gov Assistance Housing,and other excellent taxpayer provided Welfare services.

      there may be some question whether the chili is worth what they paid the zetas for the journey

        “…..worth what they paid the zetas for the journey”

        Does anybody besides me ever wonder WHERE these”poor, destitute, asylum seekers” are getting the $1000.00+ to PAY the drug gangs for transport to the border? Same question for those BOATLOADS of “refugees” crossing the Mediterranean from Africa. They’re getting the money from SOMEONE, or why are they “poor,” but can pay $1000 and more to be taken to lands of milk and honey plus all the FREE stuff?

    Securing national borders is essential in a period of heightened terrorist activity. The Trump Administration and Central European Governments have done a great service to the world by highlighting this imperative.

        NO! I wish you guys would stop saying that! Just because we have an idiot PM, doesn’t mean most of us agree with him or want him reelected. He just barely squeaked through with his win and most likely did because of him promising to legalize marijuana. We don’t want this dross coming here any more than you want it coming to your country.

    According to DHS status indicators, over 207,000 criminal aliens were booked into Texas jails between June 1,2011 and November 30, 2016. These criminal aliens were charged with more than 553,752 criminal offenses. They include 1,118 homicide charges, 65,965 assault charges, 16,186 burglary charges, 65,506 drug charges, 674 kidnapping charges, 39,354 theft charges, 43,309 obstructing police charges, 3,646 robbery charges, 5,827 sexual assault charges, and 8,283 weapons charges. Of the total criminal aliens arrested in this timeframe, 66% were identified by DHS as being in the USA ” illegally” at the time of their last arrest.
    This is only one state, Texas. This is a preview of what is going to happen in Canada with Trudeau’s open borders. Trump, build that wall !

      Maybe there’s something to learn from North Korea ,how they treat illegal crossers into their country…forced labor work in the fields…If we did the same ,the crossing would not be so popular….just a thought…

    The MSM will do everything possible to hide this from the public. BTW, TX has been a major entry point for Pakistanis. Since the Chinese now run a number of our port facilities, I wonder how many come in from that source.

    So they came across with the “caravan” of people claiming to be fleeing war and gangs in Central America.

    Just as terrorists have traveled into EU countries among those “fleeing” war in Syria.

    I have said this b4 and I will repeat it again,. Very soon, the Canadian border too will become a Jehaadi free for all.. because of the suicidal immigration policies of the TURD, which will transport the bitter Canadian Jehaadi harvest over the free USA-CANADA border too.. The TURD’s immigration policy is endangering the USA too..

      The garbage crossing our border got into the US first. So tell me, how did THAT happen?

      • Infidel says

        Yes they came in from the Mexican border… but very soon the Canadian border will also be breached

      Last year I was crossing the border from the US to Canada to visit the Niagara Falls. There was a big poster on the wall with pictures and names of criminal fugitives, males and females, that the police was looking for…99% had muslimes names…very telling…diversity is working…isn’t beautiful?

    Assad,and Russia had this handled. They were taking out ISIS,and Al Nusra(the Rebels) in Syria. That we had been funding and training (CIA). But because the Saudis,and Israel want Assad out,Trump stupidly attacked them.Our president shouldn’t be getting his marching orders from Israel, but especially not from the greatest funder of Islamic terrorism in the word Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia finances all the big terror groups ISIS, Al Qaeda,Al nusra etc,and they all share the most virulent form of Islam as a religion Sunni Wahhabism.The Saudis are also behind the refugee “crisis” in Europe,and pay for mosques, madrassas to be built all over the world.They killed three thousand Americans on 911,and the still haven’t been punished because of the petrodollar.

      Yes, the politicians criticize Iran as the biggest exporter of terrorism, but keep quiet abou KSA which is just as bad or worse…they were responsible for the 9/11attack on the twin towers…I’ve seen photos of poor dying victim John McCain and Lindsey Graham with terrorists in Syria including Al Baghdadi, when they gave them $250 million of tax payers dollars and arms to take down Assad and kill Christians..You don’t see that in the MSM . Both are traitors….

    I really want to say something about this and if there are any cartel members reading.
    If you help terrorists into our country you will be hurting/destroying your business. That means thousands of valuable drug users could be hurt or killed. No more millions of dollars for you. If I were a cartel I would guard the border and not let any danger come to a single American lest you lose a customer.
