Not an act of love--Mexican cartels smuggling terrorist into US on rural Texas roads

Judicial Watch:

Mexican drug cartels are smuggling foreigners from countries with terrorist links into a small Texas rural town near El Paso and they’re using remote farm roads—rather than interstates—to elude the Border Patrol and other law enforcement barriers, according to Judicial Watch sources on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. border.

The foreigners are classified as Special Interest Aliens (SIA) and they are being transported to stash areas in Acala, a rural crossroads located around 54 miles from El Paso on a state road – Highway 20. Once in the U.S., the SIAs wait for pick-up in the area’s sand hills just across Highway 20. Terrorists have entered the U.S. through Mexico for years and in fact, an internal Texas Department of Public Safety report leaked by the media months ago documents that several members of known Islamist terrorist organizations have been apprehended crossing the southern border in recent years.

Now they’re also being smuggled in through border region airfields, according to JW’s civilian, law enforcement and intelligence sources. The renowned Vicente Carrillo Fuentes cartel is using the Horizon Airport (formerly “West Texas Airport”) in El Paso’s lower valley to smuggle SIAs into the U.S. from Mexico, JW’s inside sources say. The facility is convenient because it’s located only 11 miles from El Paso’s central business district yet it’s small enough that security is virtually nonexistent.

Additionally, the region surrounding El Paso has seen a substantial increase in heroin trafficking, JW’s inside sources reveal. Two crime families associated with the Vincente Carrillo Fuentes cartel are smuggling and trafficking in the vicinity of Tornillo, Fabens and Ft. Hancock. JW’s law enforcement sources say the cartels are exploiting Border Patrol and Texas Department of Public Safety policies and directives constraining and limiting traffic stops and interdiction operations.

This is just more evidence of how the Obama administration's empathy based immigration policy is putting US citizens and its national security at risk.  The administration's tendency to downplay terrorist acts and see them mainly as lone wolf operations could blow up in their face literally with this operation.
