Islamic Terrorists Illegally Enter via Mexican Border

Hundreds of Islamic Terrorists Illegally Enter via Mexican Border

“Recent reports state that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has apprehended several members of known Islamist terrorist organizations crossing the southern border in recent years.” 

Congressman Ron DeSantis  in a March 23rd, 2016 House Oversight Committee, National Security Subcommittee hearing.

On April 4, 2016, DeSantis attended the first of several town hall events scheduled in Florida called, “Defeat the Jihad Tour.” The hearing and tours follow the wake of news reports detailing the lack of border security and ongoing terrorism threats, especially on the Texas/Mexico border.

According to The Houston Chronicle, the Texas Department of Public Safety stated it has shifted law enforcement resources to better protect the border, but this shift enabled crime to increase in other parts of the state. The Washington Post published a story shortly thereafter, stating that authorities had detained several people with ties to Islamist terrorist organizations. (Apparently, information was obtained from a report leaked to the Chronicle about which the public was not supposed to learn.)

The report lists 439 cases of “special interest aliens” who illegally crossed or attempted to cross the Mexican/US border into Texas and are associated with Islamic terrorist groups. They came from 35 Middle Eastern, African, and Asian countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, and Syria. They each were associated with Islamic terrorist groups.

According to the leaked report, authorities listed 143 “land border crossing encounters with watch-listed individuals in southwest border states between November 2013 and July 2014.”

One encounter, for example, was with an alleged member of al-Shabaab, the Islamic Somalia-based group responsible for the 2013 mall massacre in Nairobi, Kenya. Another related to the apprehension of another Somali named Ahmed Muhammed Dhakane, who was tied to terrorist groups al-Shabaab, al-Itihaad al-Islamiya, and al-Barakat. Dhakane not only crossed into Texas, but also helped move an unknown number of suspected Somali terrorists. Still another, was with three Sri Lankans, one of whom claimed that he was a member of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam “on his way to Canada.”

This report is only one of several.
