According to the Department of Homeland Security's 2008 Yearbook of Immigration Studies, from the Office of Immigration Statistics, federal law enforcement agencies detained 791,568 deportable aliens in fiscal year 2008 – and 5,506 of them were from 14 "special-interest countries."These numbers came from an investigative report done by WSB-TV out of Atlanta. KHOU-TV out of Houston, Texas has reported that the Department of Homeland Security has tracked one Mohammed Ali into Mexico and expects him to enter the US through Texas and Houston. Ali is an al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden operative. They believe he has smuggled hundreds of Somali’s into the US for training and recruiting.
The State Department lists the following as "special-interest countries": Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.
The following "special-interest countries" are listed as sponsors of terror: Cuba, Sudan, Syria and Iran.
The aliens were apprehended "at the borders of the United States, in the interior of the country and at designated sites outside of the United States." The 2008 yearbook lists 791,568 deportable aliens by country (Page 97). Some include:
Afghanistan: 29
Algeria: 41
Cuba: 3,896
Iran: 98
Iraq: 118
Lebanon: 188
Libya: 11
Nigeria: 299
Pakistan: 494
Saudi Arabia: 71
Somalia: 66
Sudan: 46
Syria: 71
Yemen: 78
According to the Government Accountability Office, "The Border Patrol reported that in fiscal year 2008, checkpoints encountered 530 aliens from special-interest countries."
Even worse, according to the 2006 congressional report, federal law-enforcement agencies estimate that only 10 to 30 percent of illegal aliens are actually caught – meaning an estimated 70 to 90 percent enter the U.S. undetected.
According to Lester Pierce, Justice of the Peace for North Mesa County, Arizona, Arizona has the highest incidence of illegal aliens crossing the border into the US. However, Texas, specifically the McAllen area, has more OTMs (Other Than Mexican) illegals from Homeland Security’s known terrorist countries than any other part of the nation. And as stated above, a lot of them are not coming here fleeing their home governments with peaceful intentions. Purely and simply, they are invading our country, and they mean to do us harm.
It is imperative that we complete the border fence. Surveillance cameras, barbed wire and unmanned bridges are not acceptable.
We have to close the border.
1. The federal government must be compelled to complete the border fence.When any person is stopped for illegal activity, whether it is a traffic ticket or something more serious, they must be asked for identification, and that identification must be checked for authenticity.
2. We must maintain security along the fence and especially at any points of access.
3. If necessary, the National Guard should be employed along unprotected areas until the fence can be finished.
4. Documents must be scrutinized to keep illegal aliens and terrorists out of our nation.
1. If they have no identification they should be incarcerated until they can provide proper identification.Our safety and wellbeing demands it.
2. If they refuse to provide proper identification, they should be incarcerated in the state in which they were apprehended until their home country can be identified, and then they should be deported.
3. If they are found to be illegally in this country, they must be turned over to ICE for deportation or incarcerated if warrants have been issued for their arrest on any criminal or civil matter.
4. The federal government as well as all state and local governments must be required to act in this situation.
