According to reports, the final months of 2015 brought a surge of Afghan and Pakistani nationals attempting to enter the U.S. illegally via the southern border. The San Diego sector of the Border Patrol has been a particularly hot area for the Middle Eastern illegal immigrants, with records showing that Border Protection agents detained 22 Pakistanis and two Afghans between October and November. “We have detained more Pakistanis and Afghans in the first month of this fiscal year than we did all last year,” Border Patrol agent Richard Smith told the San Diego Reader late last year. Since November, records show that three more Afghans and six more Pakistanis have entered the country illegally. Among the Middle Eastern illegal immigrants coming to the country were Muhammad Azeem and Muktar Ahmad, both men in their twenties who surrendered to U.S. Border Patrol agents in September. Records searchers showed that both young men have possible ties to terror organizations. But border security experts say the number of Middle Easterners who are caught or turn themselves in at the border are less concerning than those who may be successfully eluding authorities. According to Border Patrol officials, they’re noticing a trend of Middle Eastern illegal immigrants increasingly traveling alone to draw less attention and avoiding turning themselves in to authorities — a move that, if able to pass a security screening, would get them an immigration hearing date and allow them to be released into the U.S. The trend suggests that there could be a flood of people like Azeem and Ahmad, both of whom are still in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, making it into the country unnoticed. “It’s very concerning,” National Border Patrol Council president Terence Shigg said. “We have no idea what their actual intentions are because we have no effective way of backtracking. Just the males are coming and there’s no way for us to know for certain who they are and why.” Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) recently sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson asking for answers about what the federal government is doing to address the threat. Here’s the letter in full: View this document on Scribd www.scribd.com/doc/294748732 According to Hunter’s office, DHS has yet to respond to the request for information. Poster Comment: Pakistan is known for subversive elements. If they are coming across the southern border, it is plain that there is little security too be found there. What about Homeland Insecurity. They are good at having TSA agents confiscate fart guns from kids. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
