OTMs: A 9/11 Waiting To Happen: U.S. Government Releases Thousands Of Potential Terrorists Into The Country At Your Peril

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)is thorough about making sure your 83 year old granny is not a terrorist as she boards a plane. She might have to take her shoes off or be strip-searched. No nailclippers or nail files, buster. Can't be too careful when it comes to America's safety.

But when it comes to the Mexican border & the real possibility of terrorists entering the country, DHS, the Congress & the President have little interest in protecting America. They have betrayed the trust of American citizens who look to them for protection. Besides failing to slow down, much less curb, the invasion of millions of Mexican illegals to the US, they have failed miserably in stopping the influx of what is termed OTMs - Other Than Mexicans.

OTMs cross the Mexican-American border illegally & come from everywhere in the world. Last year 98,000 OTMs were apprehended crossing the border. They included Iranians, Syrians & others from terrorist-sponsored countries. This in itself is alarming for Americans concerned about another 9/11 or worse.

What is more alarming is that your very own government, the Congress & the President, releases them to roam the United States at will. Yes - releases them! The process works this way: An OTM is apprehended, the detention facilities are full so the OTM is given a court summons, a "notice to appear" paper, which gives a court date for the OTM to appear for an immigration hearing (Central & South Americans laughingly call these summons their permiso, their permission slips). Meanwhile, they are allowed to stay in the United States. Thereupon the OTM is released & melts into the population. It is not surprising that 98% of them do not show up for the court date. 98% of 98,000 a year. That's a lot of potential terrorists. And remember, we are not counting the hundreds of thousands of Mexicans that are similarly released. Thanks to the US government, they are all somewhere unknown & unable to be found in the country.

This policy has reached the point where Border Patrol drives van loads of them to bus stations where they take a bus to Boston, New York or God knows where. Should the OTMs be stopped along the way, they have their court notices as safe passage.

The policy has become so ludicrous that word has spread that the best thing for an illegal border crosser to do is to surrender to Border Patrol once in the USA. We kid you not.

"We used to chase them; now they're chasing us," Border Patrol Agent Gus Balderas said as he frisked Brazilians and collected their passports late last month. Another agent expressed astonishment at the cheekiness of some of the migrants. "They come up to you and say, 'I want my permiso,' " Agent Larry Alvarez said. "They want us to hurry up and get them out of here."

"I've been saying for a long time that in your next Sept. 11 hit, you're gonna find out how many of them came across this border right here," says Gary McBride, a rancher who lives 35 miles north of Douglas, Az (bordertown). "I feel like I'm living in a big ol' train station, and here comes one train, and here comes another, and here comes another, and they just never stop, people from every country you could name. Nothing has changed since Sept. 11. If anything, it's worse. It's a goddamn three-ring circus down here."

Residents along the border report finding Muslim prayer rugs, Spanish-Arab dictionaries & even an Arab diary.

Some concerned citizens a while ago smuggled in from Mexico a fake nuclear weapon - 3 times - without being caught. Their point should be well-taken by the Federal Government.

However, as we have said, the Congress & the Administration, abetted by the courts, refuse to protect Americans. The Department of Homeland Security is a joke. The Federal Government refuses to do what is necessary to protect our southern border. They increase by a paltry number the amount of Border Patrol officers & brag about it. They refuse to build sufficient detention facilities so that 98,000 OTMs a year are not released into the country. They refuse to pressure Mexico to do its part in stopping the influx of invaders. They refuse to fence off large areas of the border. They are too busy being politically correct, too busy groveling for the Hispanic vote. And when the next 9/11 happens via the southern border, they will be too busy blaming each other & passing the buck.

This is your great Congress, this is your great administration. This is why you have citizen groups like the Minuteman Project on the forefront of trying to protect our borders. The Federal Government is failing the American public. And every Congressman & Senator, every President & Adminstration official who fails to aggressively do something to correct this insane policy will have the blood of the next 9/11 victims on their hands.
