Feds Issue Terror Watch for the Texas/Mexico Border

If this weren't so serious, it would be laughable. The Federal Department of Homeland Security is asking for State help in apprehending a terrorist who may cross the border in Texas. After all the hypocritical bashing of the Arizona immigration law, they admit the border is not secure and potential terrorists are crossing into the US. Evidently the barn door is still open and Obama and his lackeys don't get it or don't care. Either way it is the US citizen that will suffer.

Excerpt: The Department of Homeland Security is alerting Texas authorities to be on the lookout for a suspected member of the Somalia-based Al Shabaab terrorist group who might be attempting to travel to the U.S. through Mexico, a security expert who has seen the memo tells FOXNews.com.

The warning follows an indictment unsealed this month in Texas federal court that accuses a Somali man in Texas of running a “large-scale smuggling enterprise” responsible for bringing hundreds of Somalis from Brazil through South America and eventually across the Mexican border. Many of the illegal immigrants, who court records say were given fake IDs, are alleged to have ties to other now-defunct Somalian terror organizations that have merged with active organizations like Al Shabaab, al-Barakat and Al-Ittihad Al-Islami.

In addition to the Somali immigration issue, Mexican smugglers are coaching some Middle Eastern immigrants before they cross the border – schooling them on how to dress and giving them phrases to help them look and sound like Latinos, law enforcement sources told FoxNews.com.

“There have been a number of certain communities that have noticed this, villages in northern Mexico where Middle Easterners try to move into town and learn Spanish,” Neuhaus Schaan said. “People were changing there names from Middle Eastern names to Hispanic names.”
Security experts say the push by illegal immigrants to try to fit in also could be the realization of what officials have feared for years: Latin American drug cartels are helping jihadist groups bring terrorists across the Mexican border.

Pham says the DHS alert is too little, too late.

“This is like shutting the barn door after the horses got away,” he said. Feds Issue Terror Watch for the Texas/Mexico Border
