Acco...Duke I read something very interesting today. According to the wingnut press:<BR/>CNSNews.com) - The chief law enforcement officers of several Texas counties along the southern U.S. border warn that Arabic-speaking individuals are learning Spanish and integrating into Mexican culture before paying smugglers to sneak them into the United States. The Texas Sheriffs' Border Coalition believes those individuals are likely terrorists and that drug cartels and some members of the Mexican military are helping them get across the border.<BR/>http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewSpecialReports.asp?Page=/SpecialReports/archive/200608/SPE20060821a.html<BR/><BR/>Well, I decided to check it out and quickly found the actually testimony of the sherrifs here:<BR/><BR/>http://judiciary.house.gov/media/pdfs/gonzalez030206.pdf#search=%22%22Sheriff%20Sigifredo%20Gonzalez%22%22<BR/><BR/>Look at page 16 of the report, where it states that the persons speaking Spanish with a non Mex accent were most likely from Central America.. and gang members. <BR/><BR/>Gangsters and drug smugglers, sure, but the insinuation that they were terrorists from Iran or elsewhere is ludicrous. <BR/><BR/>Mariachi MamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
