Our Southern Boarders and National Security

Roger Simon wrote at The Politico that we have not suffered any terrorist attacks from Mexicans, other Latinos, or anyone who got into the US through the southern boarder. So why all the hubub about securing our boarders? He finishes his piece with:

And you get the feeling that immigration reform is something both parties wish would just go away.

Building bigger fences is so much easier -- and more popular -- right now.

Well, now we are hearing more about Al Queda and Hezbollah, the Iranian backed terrorist group, working on smuggling in terrorists through the southern boarder.

There are too many relevant portions of the article to excerpt, so I urge you to read the article yourself. But as an example of what you'll see:

At this stage, G2 Bulletin sources say, the growing danger is that of militant Islam penetrating Mexico, a country with an increasing Muslim community, including Muslim converts. Some of them have ties to the Mexican community and to illegal immigrants' smugglers operating in American states bordering Mexico, especially those with connections in the greater Los Angeles area and other major cities.

Anti-terrorism experts say extremist cells tied to Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and al-Qaida network are operating in Argentina, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Uruguay. Although cooperation between al-Qaida and Hezbollah has been known for some time, the two groups have formed a much closer relationship since al-Qaida was evicted from its base in Afghanistan, according to G2 Bulletin.

This should be a wake up call for everyone in the country.

UPDATE:

Victor Davis Hanson discusses the messages that our immigration problems sends to terrorists. And Andy McCarthy follows up with some more points
