ISIS Militants Caught Trying To Cross Border Into Texas, Congressman Claims

[big_dog]

Source: The NY Daily News

In an alarmist bombshell statement that intersects both America’s war on terror and its fight to secure the border with Mexico, Rep. Duncan Hunter said ISIS fighters have been caught attempting to cross into the U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter said Border Patrol agents have captured ‘at least 10 ISIS fighters’ trying to enter the U.S. from Mexico. The California congressman’s bombshell on Fox News Tuesday also claims more militants may already be here.

Hunter, a California Republican and former Marine major, told Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren on Tuesday that Border Patrol agents have captured Islamic State in Iraq and Syria militants trying to get into Texas from Mexico. “ISIS is coming across the southern border,” said Hunter, whose district includes much of San Diego. “They aren’t flying B-1 Bombers bombing American cities, but they are going to be bombing American cities coming across from Mexico.

“At least 10 ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas,” Hunter continued. “There’s nobody taking about it.” When Van Susteren pressed him for his source, the Congressman replied: “I’ve asked the Border Patrol.” “They caught them at the border,” Hunter said. “Therefore, we know ISIS is coming across the border. If they catch five or 10 of them you know there are going to be dozens more that did not get caught by the Border Patrol.”

BENGAZI!

[wryter2000]

4. DUzy!!

Welcome to DU.

[benld74]

2. BS !!

[ck4829]

3. If someone can get arrested for a fake Ebola story, why isn't he in handcuffs yet?

No ISIS fighters have crossed the border, he needs to be arrested.

[rtracey]

7. but

And another slap to his story is this.....If there were ISIS fighters, and they got captured, then our borders ARE protected, and the border agents DID do their jobs.... so President Obama is making it work.

[loudsue]

18. Quit being so rational! This is the age of the Tea Baggers!

Insanity reigns.

[Ampersand Unicode]

19. We all know the real reason they want the borders closed off

...because someone let in a Kenyan Muslim some years back and he broke into the White House.

[rtracey]

24. YUP....I dont have a doubt.....

[freshwest]

43. Wait! Wait! You'll take away the magic of the story!

[Ampersand Unicode]

17. Fox is legally permitted to present BS as "news."

Truth in advertising is a pipe dream. Fart Noise is protected by the First Amendment and a court case allowing them to be classified as an "entertainment" channel, immune from the usual regulations applied to actual journalists.

You can thank -- I mean blame -- Reagan for kicking off this snowjob avalanche by killing the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. Actually, he said American cities are coming across the border:

"going to be bombing American cities coming across from Mexico. "

Besides being an idiot, damn fool is an ossified asshole, always has been.

[upaloopa]

5. This is not the ny daily news reporting ISIS

coming across the boarder but rather a wing nut saying he got that from boarder patrol and saying it on Faux News.
Red meat thrown to the crazies

[George II]

30. Isn't "boarder patrol" what they call security in rooming houses?

[upaloopa]

32. Yes it is glad you noticed

[George II]

37. I was just having a little fun

[upaloopa]

39. I know me too

The older I get the more mistakes I make

[snowjob]

6. Republican...

...Crap-ola

[snappyturtle]

8. Fear, fear, fear. nt

[YvonneCa]

44. Yes. BTW this is Duncan Hunter JR...

...who replaced his dad in Congress a couple of years ago. I don't think the voters even knew who they voted for.
During the old Air America days, his dad...Duncan SR...was referred to as 'Duck and Cover.' Not much has changed...

[snappyturtle]

47. That's interesting....thank you! nt

[Bandit]

49. Isn't his dad still in prison?

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

[YvonneCa]

53. Good question. I'm not sure but you've...

... sparked my curiosity.

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. And, of course ...

Greta didn't feel the need to be a "journalist" and explore the veracity of the claim, prior to airing it.

[TRoN33]

10. Fear movement are really getting more powerful than I've seen since World War II.

[George II]

11. Hmmmm...."they caught them at the border." It works!!

[heaven05]

12. duncan hunter

prove it you idiot. Americans voting in dumber and dumber people with but one agenda, fear and an america for whites only.

[cosmicone]

13. That is nothing .. I had a few ISIS fighters appear in my junk US Mail

They are everywhere !!! <panicked look> <draws curtains closed and turns off lights while staying awake and listening to the minutest sounds>












(To those who are challenged in that area)

[George II]

31. I had ISIS on my android phone....

.....an app called ISIS Wallet. It has recently been changed to Softcard.

[Ferretherder]

46. ...I can't even take a bath without 6 or 7 ISIS fighters jumping in with me!

They're in my shirt cupboard! I can see them peeping out of my wife's blouse!

Why doesn't Mr. Obama do something?!!!11!!11!

(with regards to Monty Python)

[Bandit]

50. Don't for get to get your duck taped.

[Shadowflash]

14. You'd think that....

..they would be smart enough to leave their IS membership cards and secret decoder rings at home in case they were caught. Now we are on to them.

[safeinOhio]

15. Names, mug shots and

documents. Film of the interrogation. How about an interview with agents about the capture.

If not, bullcrap.

[Lobo27]

16. So the Mexicans are just going to sit by and let ISIS bomb us from their cities.

LOGIC DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[True Blue Door]

20. Unless he can prove that, he should be censured by the House of Representatives.

There are lies, and then there are the kind of lies that put lives in danger.

I know it would be too much to ask Republicans to stop lying in general, but the latter they should be held to account for.

[Dreamer Tatum]

21. It is entirely possible that terrorists could cross from Mexico.

But in this instance, yes, proof should be required or an official STFU should be applied.

See? Second time I've agreed with you in two days.

[turbinetree]

23. Nevada/ New Mexico

Heh, there right wing non-representative from California making $174,000 dollars a year and being on vacation for over 77 days since August and November (90 days= 13 days of work oh boy nice way to rip off the taxpayer dude) and have it in your little right wing majority caucus work only 113 days total this year out of 365 (with the other good old boy right wing hypocrite Kevin McCarthy) why aren't you asking about the criminal element out there at the Bundy Ranch, and the other right wing group in New Mexico you know the guy's and gal's who had "citizens" pointing assault rifles and 30.06 rifles from bridges at federal officials from my BLM who were trying to enforce a law/judgment to collect a million dollars of our money from the grazing on our land without OUR permission.
What is your right wing standards dude? The middle east and George W. Bush & Crew and there debacle.
Apparently not much since you don't really give a crap

[Plucketeer]

25. Dunce'n Hunter

LIAR EXTRODINAIRE!

[notadmblnd]

26. I think we need to start drug testing our congressmen.

[freshwest]

41. Or give them rabies vaccine in their dinner. It'll save more lives than theirs. Just sayin'

Yes, this is a real program begun in Texas when some areas were declared to be within a rabies epidemic area.

[arcane1]

27. Wait, I thought people were leaving the US to JOIN ISIS.

Why wouldn't they just stay here, instead of having people leave here for Syria, and other people leaving Syria and coming here?

It's so confusing...

[santamargarita]

28. Would a Republican lie...?

42. Would Duncan Hunter ever stop lying? If he's breathing, he's lying.

[blkmusclmachine]

29. Bwahahaha!!!

Bullshit

[wolfie001]

33. Gin up the stoopids for the mid-terms.

[Kingofalldems]

34. Reads like a clever attempt to put Fox news propaganda in LBN.

[Turborama]

45. Exactly what I thought

It's not the 1st time, either, and seems to be a certain someone's MO.

[Kingofalldems]

48. Glad someone else sees through it.

[Thespian2]

35. But

no one has told Americans to wrap their houses in plastic and duct tape yet. Must not be a really big threat at the border.

[marble falls]

36. But Henny Penny said that Turkey Lurkey said ISIS is falling from the sky!

[louis-t]

38. These idiots will say anything to get attention.

It's really getting bad. How long before even the craziest tell them to just shut up already.

[okasha]

40. And they were all four-foot tall Spanish speakers.

[yellowcanine]

51. I propose we send we send Mr. Duncan Hunter to the border to stop them.

[muntrv]

52. Even Greta doubted that!
