Somali Aliens Smuggled in Through Mexico

Not so much a new story, as it is a reminder.  Terrorists are coming over that border by the scores.

With the suspension of a U.S. refugee program and stepped-up security in the Gulf of Aden and along Mediterranean smuggling routes, more overseas migrants from Somalia are pursuing asylum through what one expert calls the "back door." "The U.S. has closed most of the doors for Somalis to come in through the refugee program so they've found alternative ways to get in," said Mark Hetfield, senior vice president for policy and programs at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. "This is their new route."

About 1,500 people from around the world showed up in U.S. airports and on the borders seeking asylum during the 2009 fiscal year, according to statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Somalis were the biggest group to make the journey, with most arriving in San Diego. More than 240 Somalis arrived during that period — more than twice the number from the year before.

It doesn't really matter why the ones caught are coming. If these people can do it, think about how easy it is when you have financial backing and want to kill Americans. The Houston police might want to take another look at that rocket launcher they found.
