Do you believe that illegals crossing our border may be carrying Nuclear Fuel?

Question

Really, how does our government know that some of these people aren't carrying the hard to get Items that it takes to make a dirty bomb?

In a recent article, the Boarder Patrol admitted that it has caught up to 500 or so people from 68 different countries crossing in one day. But you know they're not allowed to talk in detail.

What is our government up to? Also, what is the REAL reason our borders aren’t being defended. We have 100 times the resources needed to do the job, but nothing from the government and I just cannot buy the we need more field workers argument any longer, I have to speak Spanish to brush my teeth.

In response to some of your questions: I'm not talking about Mexicans, but rather PEOPLE crossing our border with motive. The question is about national security not culture. There are 12,000,000 million to 17,000,000 people illegally in our country and not all of them are Mexican. Read the question before the (younger) of you answer. I would prefer that no one under 18 respond please.

Theres ms-13...
excerpt from link
"Their penchant for violence is renowned. Members often arrive in the United States with fighting skills gained in military training and are particularly adept with machetes. In March 2004, the Maldon Institute, a Washington DC based think tank, released a report detailing the violent methods MS-13 used, including their increasingly typical (and disturbing) calling card. MS-13 often leaves behind dismembered corpses, complete with the decapitated head, at the scene of their murders. Often a grim note is attached to the body. "
____
"In Texas and the Rio Grande area, MS-13 has become particularly profitable. U.S. and Mexican authorities acknowledge that MS-13 has been heavily involved in drug smuggling and human trafficking operations. They estimate that there are over 200 active cells (cells are groups of at least 20 members) operating in the states that border Mexico. Rumors abound concerning high-profile terrorist organizations contacting MS-13 for assistance in crossing borders in these areas"

"Mexican alien smugglers plan to pay violent gang members and smuggle them into the United States to murder Border Patrol agents, according to a confidential Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by the Daily Bulletin.
The Officer Safety Alert, dated Dec. 21, warns agents that the smugglers intend to bring members of the international Mara Salvatrucha street gang also known as MS-13 into the country for the deadly mission.

"Unidentified Mexican alien smugglers are angry about the increased security along the U.S./Mexico border and have agreed that the best way to deal with U.S. Border Patrol agents is to hire a group of contract killers," the alert states.

MS-13, which has a strong base in El Salvador, is considered by the FBI to be one of the most dangerous gangs in the United States, with more than 20,000 members."

Do you think these people would think twice about smuggling in terrorists and materials into the U.S?

These are the people the pro illegal supporters want to protect

Answer 2

Our borders ARE being defended. You said so yourself that the border patrol caught 500 people from 68 different countries in one day. They don't talk to the public in detail because it is classified information to be released on a "need to know" basis. Our biggest concern comes from overseas. And that is what you see in the news. That is the bigger threat. In contrast, our borders are small potatoes. We've just recently beefed up the border patrol with more personnel and technology. And anybody who does make it across will have to deal with NIS if they break any laws or if they just happen to get caught. We can't keep everybody out but we can try to keep the bad people out. The borders are just the first part of the filter. Our internal security is awesome. So awesome that alot of people are worried about their personal privacy even though their nobodies.

Answer 3

The amount of shielding needed to keep you from dying in a matter of hours while carrying enough material to make an effective "dirty bomb" would be so heavy you couldn't carry it long enough to cross where you can't drive over.

And you need to educate yourself as to how big the border is and how much manpower is available. Go to Texas and walk the border all the way to California... you won't make it. Then try to figure out how to man it 24 hours a day in such a way as to make illegal crossing impossible - if you can do that without causing the country to go broke, I'll vote for you - till then, please try to LEARN something about a subject before you make unsubstantiated claims.

Answer 4

Sure, those are the ones glowing in the dark.

Actually, as a test, officials tried to, and succeeded in, smuggling the componants for a 'dirty bomb' in over the Mexican border. Terrorists have paid coyotes to bring them across that border, and have waded the Rio Grande per House Hearing testimony.

Of course we can secure it and yes we do need barriers. But first we need new representation in DC.

Answer 5

I've seen all the movies on how easy that is - I also recall putting detectors up for it -

But here's what I've recently seen -

The Mexican Army and other militants killing Americans on the border, and Bush doesn't care...he can't sign an order to protect the border, he needs to get as many up here as he can in his little game he's playing to defeat us as a nation so we give up the constitution for his SPP!

Answer 6

nuclear fuel?

LMAO.

You know the cost of procuring nuclear fuel (probably $$$$$$$ milions on the black market) and you'd trust an illegal alien who would probably get caught by the border patrol to lug it for you across the border?

That hairbrained idea is so CLUELESS. But I bet it plays REAL well with ignorant people looking for anything to make illegal immigrants look evil.

First of all, Nuclear Fuel requires control rods to transport. Insanely heavy.
Second, most of it generates so much heat, no one can actually carry it on their backs.
Third...nuclear fuel is so radioactive, if carried without lots of lead or steel shielding, you'd be dead in an hour.


But logic wasn't ever your strong point, i see.

Answer 7

regrettably, i could have self assurance it. those criminals care no longer something approximately our regulations and that they'd desire to no longer be right here! All 30+ million illegals, the place ever the come from, are breaking our regulations. I heard a clean estimate of the form of illegals (won't have the ability to recollect the solid source). They reported there are approximately 38 million illegals. Our stupid government nevertheless claims 7 to twelve million (supposedly 2005 figures). Do they actually think of that we are that stupid to think of the numbers do no longer circulate up on a daily basis!

Answer 8

you know, the last time i delivered in Laredo a couple of men woke me up at 3am. they said they were thirsty and hungry and had just crossed the border from the Honduras. here's the part i don't understand, they were spotless and all of their clothes were brand new. no one walks any distance in the desert without getting dirty. i wish i knew what all this is about. i also wish we could get some real answers. something is rotten in Denmark.

Answer 9

Our govt has insidious plans. They want to eventually open all borders throughout north America....

The true terrorist come through the Canadian borders, which are more lax on immigration...And they have the resources to come here legally..

The real enemy isn't some shmuck coming over eeking out a living, the real enemy is our govt. who wants to give up our sovereignty for the sake of money....

Answer 10

No most of them are dirt poor, just trying to make a better life for themselves or their kids. Now if you had of said "carrying drugs across the border" I might have agreed but come on red mecury or something?

Answer 11

I believe that if someone was going to do something this despicable, they probably would do it with "legal" paperwork--in other word they would probably come over the border similar to the 9/11 terrorists did--they came in legally--and I don't believe they overstayed their visa.
