Yesterday the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Investigations released a report revealing that the illegal immigration problem is much worse than anything heretofore acknowledged by our government. As many as ten million people may have illegally entered America from Mexico in 2005 alone! Only ten to thirty percent are apprehended, and only ten to twenty percent of illegal drugs are confiscated. 650 of those who were apprehended were from countries who sponsor or train terrorists. Assuming that figure represents the high number of thirty percent, that leaves over 1500 who were not apprehended!
The report talks about people being brought from the Middle East to "staging areas" in central America, then smuggled into the United States illegally. It states that Venezuela has emerged as the "hub of terrorism in the western hemisphere." I would like to know just what and where Venezuela is doing this terrorist training. I have heard that there is training going on at an island called Margarita Island. Anybody know anything about this?
The report talks about the role of Mexican drug cartels, which are described as the most sophisticated and dangerous of all organized criminal enterprises. They have unlimited cash to purchase and use the most sophisticated and advanced weaponry.
The full report is available at the Committee on Homeland Security website.
